Different Attitude to People

People will have different attitude to a people when they really know him or her. People will have first impression to a person when he see the person, after that , people will change his (her) impression about this person though he (her) know the person.

In novel “To Kill a Mocking Bird ” by Harper Lee, Scout has different attitude to Boo before she really know him and after she know what is the person he was. Because after Scout knew Boo, she knew Boo was a good person actually. Before Scout contact Boo, she had a bad attitude Boo. “He was a thin leathery man with colorless eyes, so colorless they did not reflect light , His cheekbones were sharp and his mouth was wide , with a thin upper lip and a full lower lip ”(Harper , chapter 1 , P14). Before she knew Boo, she thought that Boo was a evil and horrible man. Many children said Boo was a dangerous man and Scout thought so. On the opposite, after Boo save the children , Scout changed her mind to Boo. “His face was as white as his hands, but for a shadow on his jutting chin. His cheeks were thin to hollowness ; his mouth was wide ; there were shallow, almost delicate indentations at his temples , and his gray eyes were so colorless I thought he was blind. His hair was dead and thin, almost feathery on top of his head. ” (Harper, Chapter 29 , P362) This shows the attitude from Scout to Boo of she really knew what Boo’s character was. That’s the reason she changed her mind about Boo. People may have bad attitude to a person when he see the person first time, but after he know the person he will change his mind to the person.
