Extending the Theme

   The novel really spoke to me about life and growing up and learning to deal with tragedies and other unexpected things.  One of the things that you learn from the novel is that sometimes things happen and you can't do anything about it.  Sure it might really suck but you have to learn to live with it. 
   One lesson that I learned from Jem and Scout is that no matter how much someone else's views differ from yours you can never judge them on what they say for that is what they believe.  It doesn't matter how horrible they appear, they could be an extremely brilliant person.
   I can relate to some of Scout's experiances since I have two Uncles who are lawyers, however I have never seen them in court, but I can understand where she is coming from and I can see how a child could get the wrong impression about their parent if they were seen questioning a witness.

  1. Yes, that is very true keenan, you can't do anything in some situations. I can't judge you based on his paragraph, but if I was a random guy, I would give you a "Hooray!".
