I am starting to see it from your point of view and I know exactly what you mean. Most people will just accept them after meeting them. Which is what I am saying by everyone is forgetting about that part "climb to his skin and walk around it". I only think this is necessary towards people you are just getting to know but for others such as strangers, I think it is just better to accept him.

I believe this piece of advice Atticus gave Scout is to help her become a more accepting and open-minded human being. To accept people is a great trait because it will allow you to understand how people think. This is what Atticus is trying to teach Scout, a character is in Harper Lee's, To Kill a Mocking Bird, when he tells her, "If you can learn a simple trick, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point…

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it" (Lee 39). When we accept others we start to become more open-minded towards the people around us and we begin to make less assumptions. The less assumptions we make, the more open-minded we become, the more people we meet who are different allow us to understand how people differ from one another. That is how being accepting and open-minded is what Atticus was trying to teach Scout.

I have to disagree with you there, we don't need to "climb into [their] skin and walk around in it," (Lee 39), we need to accept people for who they are. Sure it helps us accept them more easily, but it is not necessarily needed. Atticus tells Scout in Harper Lee's, To Kill a Mocking Bird, "If you can learn a simple trick, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks, " (Lee 39).

After thinking about the quote and looking at what you've said, I do understand about what you've said. This is because I have known/been friends with you for years now. Though, that doesn't mean I can't disagree with you about some stuff (done it in a previous discussion) as I will always stay true to what I think. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Atticus tells Scout " untill you climb into his skin and walk around it" (Lee 30). I am aware this is what we are talking about…

In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Atticus tells Scout " untill you climb into his skin and walk around it" (Lee 30). I am aware this is what we are talking about but this part of the quote is what I have been missing the whole time. I never really understood that part until just now as I thought about it. It means to see things the way they do-experience what they experience. This is why I really think that the quote is meant to live on throughout generations for someone to also look up to.

I agree with you on that it should be said to people so they won't make assumptions, but I believe that it is trying to tell us to get to know people rather than trying to keep them away because they think differently. If we don't know someone and see them do things that seem strange to us, we should try to understand why they are doing it, not know that they are doing it. It also helps us to understand how people think if we understand why they do the things they do on a daily basis. This is…

This is show when Jem, one of the main characters in Harper Lee's, To Kill a Mocking Bird, is going is to touch the Radley house, " He walked to the corner of the lot, then back again, studying the simple terrain as if deciding how best to effect an entry, " (Lee 15). If you were to see this randomly you would wonder why they are doing this and not trying to understand them. So you must ask them why they are doing it to understand their way of thinking and you would never try to understand them. That is why we must try and understand a person's actions.

This piece of advice is great to tell to someone because it is saying to get to know someone without making any assumptions based on appearance or what every the case is. We don't know why someone would steal or often wear the same clothes. But we judge them and say things like "you're a bad person" or "get some new clothes" because we are looking at them from our point of view instead of theirs.

This piece of advice is great to tell to someone because it is saying to get to know someone without making any assumptions based on appearance or what every the case is. We don't know why someone would steal or often wear the same clothes. But we judge them and say things like "you're a bad person" or "get some new clothes" because we are looking at them from our point of view instead of theirs. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Atticus tells Jem about Mrs. Dubose that "She had her own views about things, a lot different from mine, maybe... I wanted you to see something about her-I wanted you to see what real courage is." (Lee 112). Even after what Mrs. Dubose had said about Atticus, he didn't judge her on what she had said. Atticus actually found her as brave and he knew that she saw things differently than from his point of view. Everyone does something because of what has happened to them throughout life or trying to get attention sometimes. Atticus has told this to Scout and now to Jem; He seems to keep his words and let Scout and Jem learn from him. This advice will stick to our heads as we will interact with whomever to really understand him/her.

<p>This piece of advise is telling people to be empathetic and consider things from a different point of view. people will never solve problems or arguments without considering the other perspective and being open-minded.Its not okay for people to judge others without considering their background or what would they do in their position. like miss Caroline when she said " please bathe yourself before you come back tomorrow"(35). she didn't take a minute to think maybe the reason Burris was so…</p>

Its obvious on her part it was a honest mistake but next time she'll consider the reason why maybe the kid couldn't get clean. people usually tend to think that they know whats best and that they are motivated by love so it can be hard to consider whats motivating another person to do what their doing.

<p>I agree that the advice Atticus talks about is a great advice because it is a very known advice that is passed down through many generations as not to judge people by looking at their surface and the things they do. This is a great advice because we live in a blind society that sees the negative way before the positive; A society that sees your differences before your similarities in which we judge only based on what we first see without looking deeper into a person and get to know them on…</p>
<p>I agree that the advice Atticus talks about is a great advice because it is a very known advice that is passed down through many generations as not to judge people by looking at their surface and the things they do. This is a great advice because we live in a blind society that sees the negative way before the positive; A society that sees your differences before your similarities in which we judge only based on what we first see without looking deeper into a person and get to know them on the inside because the outside can be completely a different person from the inside. To support this point Harper Lee the writer of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">To Kill A Mockingbird</span> states, "They were people but they lived like animals"(Lee 30). This explains why the advice is very valuable because people are not always what you think they are or expect them to be, they may look something but be completely the opposite of what the look like and the things they do. This is why we always discusse "Don't judge a book by its cover"(Eliot).</p> I totally agree with you Dr.…tag:www.classroom20.com,2017-04-08:649749:Comment:11443172017-04-08T19:57:19.852ZStar Who? 9Dhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/StarWhoHamade
<p>I totally agree with you Dr. Exuberance, Bob Ewell might be going through a depression because of his wife's death and that can play a factor of him drinking all the time; not taking care of his children.But I also believe, why can't society help with the issue of Bob drinking and his children not getting support at all.

If they can help, then his children would get the support needed in order to live a good life and they can help Bob get out of his "depression" days and start a new life with his kids. After reading these first three chapters I think society is ignoring the Ewell family because they are poor and have nothing, and I can relate this to the real world that no one likes helping the homeless, people with disabilities, minorities, etc, because we create one thing that differentiates all of us- "labeling". We label all sorts of people because of the media and not hearing the other person's point of view of what they have to say. If we start to feel empathy towards one another then it can solve a lot problems that were dealing with in the real world.</p> Brother Teacher, it seems as…tag:www.classroom20.com,2017-04-08:649749:Comment:11443942017-04-08T19:14:49.417ZDr. Exuberance 9Bhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/DrExuberanceAlasadi
<p>Brother Teacher, it seems as if brother Ewell is in some sort of misery since drinking a lot is commonly associated with depression. maybe the endless drinking and lack of care for his children is present because whatever happened to his wife, somebody in Scouts class did say that Burris,"Ain't got no mother" (Lee 26). the book says exactly what happened to the mother but it is possible that she has something to do with the poor condition of the family. the mother is often thought to be the…</p>
<p>Brother Teacher, it seems as if brother Ewell is in some sort of misery since drinking a lot is commonly associated with depression. maybe the endless drinking and lack of care for his children is present because whatever happened to his wife, somebody in Scouts class did say that Burris,"Ain't got no mother" (Lee 26). the book says exactly what happened to the mother but it is possible that she has something to do with the poor condition of the family. the mother is often thought to be the foundation of a family and it appears that the foundation of the Ewell family isn't present and thus the family is torn apart. this is the only explanation i could think of as to why the Ewells are in this poor condition where they are almost lost in this world and don't even see a purpose in going to school. I almost feel bad for them because i couldn't see myself in a better situation if my parent were to disappear from my life, especially my mother.</p>
