To Kill A Mockingbird Quotes - Atticus Finch
"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."Page30 "They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions... but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience. " Page 69 “You're gonna hear some ugly talk about this in school. But I want you to promise me one thing: That you won't get into fights over it, no matter what they say to you.” Page75 As you can see from the quotes,firstly,Atticus Finch is a man without prejudice and racial hatred and is a good-hearted man of strong morals.That why he said " You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view"He is honest, sympathetic, empathetic, smart, diligent, wise, basically the good and best traits a person can have.So he believes "That you won't get into fights over it, no matter what they say to you"His stern but fair attitude toward Jem and Scout reaches into the courtroom as well. Atticus believes in justice and the justice system. He doesn't like criminal law, yet he accepts the appointment to Tom Robinson's case. He knows before he begins that he's going to lose this case, but that doesn't stop him from giving Tom the strongest defence he possibly can.

Where does this evil from?
Not only from  but also from this song, we can feel that evil from our own mind, from we can not find the value of life and from we always hold constant opinion about something and someone. We are not dare to change our find with the development of the things. For example, in chapter 9 we heard "nigger-lover"from other classmates to Scout. They are too standpat to face the real world. Until that time, they also lived in their imagined world. They do not want to recongize the reality. And Using opening mind hug new environment and new world. For me, sometimes i face the similar situation. But the most important thing is how to use another opinion to see the same thing. For instance, today is a rainy day, i can not hang out for fun, but i use another idea to think about it. I can enjoy different views about our city in the rainy day. So after i will have nice mood instead of bad idea.
