In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus gives Scout advice as she tells him the belief that she'll never get along with anybody, "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it," (Lee, 39). This piece of text shows that despite what the outside may seem, or show, you'll never really know what a person is like on the inside no matter how hard you try.

After the incident with the Mobs at the jail, including Mr. Cunningham, the children confront Atticus. They insist that the Mobs could have killed Atticus and ask why he doesn't think much of it, calling it a blind spot. This leads to Atticus giving the children essential advice, "'He might have hurt me a little,” Atticus conceded, “but son, you’ll understand

folks a little better when you’re older. A mob’s always made up of people, no

matter what. Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man.

Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you know—

doesn’t say much for them, does it?'" (Lee 159). Here, Atticus advises them to treat individuals with empathy and respect, no matter how bad they might appear. He lets them know that Mr. Cunningham is a "good" individual, however, the mob group influenced him to negatively act. This helps them understand empathy and the importance of trying to understand others.

At school scout would receive hateful comments about her father because he'd be defending people of colors. One day scout would break into a fight with one of hers peers and after getting home and having a talk with Atticus he says to scout, " It's different this time.
