To Kill A Mockingbird By Atticus Finch: Character Analysis

To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-until you limb into his skin and walk around in it.” Whose shoes might I be interested in walking in? After considering my options, I chose Pamela Matthews. She is an accountant at the CPA firm of Lawing Matthews and Company, PA.
