life changing

To kill a mockingbird was a very inspiring book for me. Two things that i have learned from this book is that i am blessed to live in a world with little racism, and that i need to look at other people's point of view not just mine. First this book showed me that i'm very blessed that i don't have to worry about talking to a black person or live in a society where i have to think i'm better then someone else. For example i'm glad i don't have to deal with things like Scout did, where i have to watch tom Robinson convicted when i know he is innocent just because he is black. I know there is still racism around the world but To Kill a Mockingbird just made me think about my life and it made me realize how blessed i really am to live in a free country.

Second i learned that i need to look at other peoples piont of view not just my own as Atticus says in the book “You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them.” (279) This taught me that i need to think about other's feelings to not just my own. As Atticus would put it i need to walk around in the others shoes. For example when Scout gets frustrated with Miss Caroline for getting her into trouble Atticus says she has to see it from Miss Caroline's point of view. She was new to Maycomb and she hadn't learned their ways yet. Overall To Kill a Mockingbird was a very inspiring book because it made me think about how blessed i'm, and how i can look at other peoples views besides my own.
