The Importance Of My Father In To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee

“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.” is a quote by Atticus Finch stated in To Kill A Mockingbird (Part 1, Chapter 3, Page 39). The person I have chosen to shadow is my father. I chose to shadow my father because he is a self-employed hard-worker. I wanted to see what it would be like to be in an independent business. This project is a chance to see how my father lives throughout the day and I get to see the world through his eyes. I have been given the opportunity to fathom or comprehend the reasons why my father works so hard and I get to understand what he does as a part of his daily life. During the course of three days, I learned things

All through the assignment, I have gained more knowledge about my father. I would love to know more than I already know about my father. I realized how much effort he puts into caring for his family and his work, much like Atticus Finch. Atticus shows that he cares for his family. For example, Atticus is a busy and hard working lawyer, yet he finds time to read to Scout every night. Atticus’ advice about walking in someone else’s shoes means more than it did before because walking in someone else’s shoes can allow a person to increase their knowledge and understand more about a certain individual. I learned that Atticus’ advice is correct because you can consider things from someone else’s perspective and that can help you understand why that individual chose that action, made that choice, etc. I used to think that the advice was simply given to a mere child, but after doing this assignment, I realized that this advice could be given to anyone because anyone can learn from his advice. In conclusion, Atticus’ advice is true because you can know more things about someone that you did not know
