When Atticus tells Scout "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," he means that you have to experience a different point of view to understand someone else's decisions and actions. You have to try your best to understand their thinking and how it relates to their actions. You can't judge someone without knowing them. Most people I know judge others all the time without giving a single thought. I judge others a lot too, without really realizing what I am doing. Judging people is just like a habit. Maybe we don't really mean to judge others. What I found confusing was when Scout and Jem were going home for dinner and invited Walter Cunningham. Then, they went back to the schoolyard. I just did not really get these parts. A theme in chapters two thru three is the need for a moral education. This theme shows when Scout tells Atticus that she does not want to go to school. Atticus says that it would be bad if she stayed home. Atticus knows what is best for Scout so he convinced her to go to school. A literary element in chapters two thru three is a metaphor because when Atticus says "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," he does not mean it literally. He means to try to understand what the person is feeling.

In the story, Atticus tells Scout, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb in his skin and walk around in it." Through this quote, Atticus is trying to explain that we don't know what people are going through if we haven't experienced it ourselves. Sometimes it's hard for us to comprehend why people do or say the things they do if we don't know what they're going through or trying to deal with. Also, we might think that something that someone else does is weird or unusual because we don't do it ourselves, but in reality, they just might not do everything the way everyone else does, and that's okay. For example, on page 25, Miss Caroline thinks that it's odd that Walter Cunningham won't accept her quarter. Yes, this might seem a little odd, but she didn't know that the Cunningham family never accepted anything that they couldn't return, so she judged Walter before she knew his whole story. This quote represents moral education because Atticus is trying tot teach Scout that people have different morals, beliefs and struggles, but that doesn't make them bad people. I experienced this statement in my life when one of my best friends moved to my school. Her family didn't always do things the way other families did, and it wasn't wrong, it was just different, and there is nothing wrong with different.

When Atticus tells Scout, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb in his skin and walk around in it” i think he means you can't know how a person is felling until your are in there place. People go through different things and they have different ways of thinking. If someones acts someway or does something its probably because of a past experience. This is a very wise thing to teach your children not to be biased. This reminds me of a time when i was playing soccer and we had a kid on our team that we had never seen play. We all thought that he would be bad but he scored 2 goals and won the game for us.
3.When everyone had a lunch except for Walter and people were judging him (page 24).
4.I didn't find anything confusing.
5. Moral education, scout had a good outside school education so she differs from the ewells that dont have a good moral education.

When Atticus tells Scout that you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb in his skin and walk around in it, he means that Miss Caroline was not from Maycomb. She did not know the families, and she did not know how they lived or how they took care of their children.She was trying to be nice by giving Walter lunch money because she thought he forgot his money. Miss Caroline did not know that his family was poor and could not afford food or pay her back. Miss Caroline had never seen bugs in someone's hair so this scared her. She did not understand that he would not come back to school because his dad did not make Burris come to school after the first day. Miss Caroline only thought that children learn to read and write from their teachers the correct way. She did not understand that children could learn to read and write from their parents. Miss Caroline had only been with the children for one day, and she did not know about Maycomb and their families. (Page 40) When I was younger and playing travel soccer, there was of my teammates that made fun of me because I was very short and little. One of the teammates keep calling me little man, and this really made me mad. I played a really good game, but I was really upset after the game. The coach told the team that I was the most aggressive team player that game and he was very proud of how I played. The father of the teammate that was calling me little man told me how well I played in front of his son. Other parents and team members told me how well I played. The teammate never called me that name again, and we got along very well on and off the soccer field after that incident. 4) I was not sure about what was in Burris hair that Miss Caroline was scared about. I think it might have been lice but they referred to the bugs as cooties. It was really not made clear in the book if the bugs were lice or some other type of bugs in his hair. It was very clear that Burris did not take a bath, but still not sure of what was in his hair.

When Atticus tells Scout, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb in his skin and walk around in it.”, he is telling her basically that she shouldn't judge a book by its cover. That you shouldn't be so quick to judge and before you come to conclusions about a person or thing you should consider things in their point of view also. Just because someone does something differently, you have to look deeper than just the surface because what you think could be the opposite of reality. An example of this would be them judging Boo Radley. They say he has yellow teeth and has blood stained hands from eating raw animals. But they don't actually know that. They just assume he is scary. But in reality nobody knows. They listened to the rumors that was said about him and they believed it instead of actually seeking the truth. We can all relate to this because wether we want to admit it or not, we have all judged someone before. It could have been by their appearance, they way they talk, the music they listen to, it could be as simple as that. Sometimes we judge without even realizing it. It is something we should all try to get better at. Not judging. This is an example of appearance vs. reality. They don't really know what Boo is like. They shouldn't have said all those things about him because they don't truly know. I have no confusions.

Shelby Franken 3rd Hour When Atticus quotes,"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb in his skin and walk around in it," He means that you should never judge anyone based on what is on the outside. They could have been in a lot more than you think. You never truly understand a person until you know what it is like to be them. He quoted this saying from page 39 from To Kill A Mockingbird. He was referring to Miss Caroline, and the way she likes to teach. A personal experience from my life that relates to this is when my friend wasn't talking to me, and she said that she was tired all the time. I thought that she was just avoiding me, so I got mad at her. It turns out that she was badly sick, and spent the week in the hospital. Something I found confusing, is what a "cootie" was. I had to read back to figure it out. It was on page 34. A literary element contained is a metaphor comparing a point of view to skin. The is the need for a moral education is a theme that is used. Miss Caroline wouldn't let Scout write until she got to the third grade. A good education is not used.

Period 3
The quote “You never really understand things from his point of view – until you climb in his skin and walk around in it” is said by Atticus when talking to Scout. Atticus is not saying to climb inside of somebody and control him some how, he is basically saying someone you can’t judge someone until you know what they are going through because the reason someone might talk rudely to you might not be because they don’t like you, it could be because maybe they had a rough day or something. My example would be when I was in about 3rd or 4th grade and my older brother was in 6th grade and he would come home and get a D or an F on a quiz or a worksheet or something and I would laugh at him calling him 4th grade names like “stupid” and “idiot” saying how could you not get a good grade on stuff it is so easy I have gotten +A on all of my quizzes and tests (they were basically completion grades in 4th grade). My older brother, Robert, tried explaining to me in a older to younger brother kind of conversation that his homework and quizzes were harder then mine at once I am in 6th grade I would understand. Which was appearance vs. reality I think. I never believed him until I got into 6th grade I always thought he was not smart or just did not care about school. This is kind of like when the teacher gets mad at scout because she already knows how to read when the teacher has a different way of teaching and thinks that this will mess with her learning plan. I think a literary element in this book would have to be irony when the teacher is mad at Scout for knowing how to read when the teacher was trying to teach the kids how to read.

When Atticus tells Scout, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb in his skin and walk around in it," he means that Scout should not judge others when she doesn't know what their lives are like.In these chapters I found it confusing that the teacher was so offended by the one child that she was easily reduced to tears. Why did she take what the child said to heart? She is an adult and should always be in control of any circumstances, especially her own emotions, around her class. This also shows appearance vs. reality because the teacher is constantly yelling and scolding Scout but then is easily reduced to tears by a single student and then has to be comforted by other students. This also shows situational irony because you would think the teacher would scold him but instead takes what he says to heart and breaks down crying.

Atticus means that until you know a person's story you can't judge them. He is saying if you don't actually try to get to know someone and you judge to soon, you will most likely be wrong and miss out on a potential friend. It is always easy to judge someone but until you actually go through what they do, you will see the wrong side. For example, the Cunningham family is poor and Walter always must drop out of school to help his dad on the farm, it appears that Walter is stupid because he can't pass first grade, but he really is helping his family. I have experienced this in my life by judging my new neighbors before I met them and now they are like a second family to me.

This means put your self in there life. So imagine that you had no money. You had to pay people back with food and other thing s that you earned. So next time you are thinking about when you juge other put your self in their place. How would you feel if they tried you like you were weird or not smart. For example i would be made fun of because what I like wear. They made fun of me because of way that i talked and they way i would take test. 3)an example is the Quote from Attikes . to be in someone else's place. this show us that we should not juge other people by the way they talk and way they look. 4) I found out about little details of the story. 5)they need a good education and scout knew how to read and that made Miss. Caroline mad. 6) There were some new people in the story like Walter Cunningham and Miss Caroline, we hear more storys of boo Radley. Boo leave some goodies in the tree trunk. This the theme of appearance vs. Reality. they are stating to see what the true boo Radley is.
