Changed My Life

To Kill a Mockingbird, has changed my life in several ways. I have learned one: Not to judge people until you stand in there shoes. Two: Racism is a big factor in peoples lives. To begin with I am going to talk about how Atticus said not to judge people until you stand in their shoes. " 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."(30). I really think this taught me an important lesson to not judge people until you know what it's like to be them.

Now I am going to talk about the racism lesson. This book shows racism in how it was in real life. I think that racism is just that one thing that will never end. That one thing that really can tear someone apart. I have learned from this book the true meaning of racism and how it was played out back then. Especially during the Tom Robinson Trial. That just made me sick on how the jury in the book and in real life could do such things to people just because they're black.
