Atticus tells Scout, “ “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” (pg. 39). What is Atticus saying? What is the situation to which Atticus is asking Scout to apply this message? What does he want her to do? How will this (as he prefaces his remarks) help her to “get along with all kinds of folks” (pg. 39)? How could the people of Maycomb learn something from this message? Do you agree with the message and with Atticus’s assertion that it can help people to get along with all kinds of other people?
Atticus is trying to tell Scout to put herself in other people’s places before judging them. The learned lawyer and moral compass of the novel gives his daughter this advice after her run-in on her first day of school with her first grade teacher, Miss Caroline. Atticus goes on to explain that Miss Caroline is uneducated in knowledge taken for granted by most native Maycombians. Miss Caroline’s lack of knowledge about the Cunninghams in particular, Atticus tells Scout, is what led to her honest mistakes. Atticus implies that by figuratively “climbing into [the] skin” of others--in this case, Miss Caroline’s skin--Scout can easily see how the mistake was made. Scout agrees with this and, seemingly, with Atticus’s suggestion that she use this technique to more completely understand “all kinds of folks.” The implication here is that with insight about the concerns of others comes an ability to relate. The other residents of Maycomb would be well-served to heed Atticus’s words when it comes to the concerns of the outcasts of their community. Maycomb is such a racist and intolerant town when it comes to anyone who is at all different that any attempts at mutual understanding would probably go a long way to healing the community divisions. Certainly, Atticus’s message--although simplistic--contains a basic principle for combatting prejudice and promoting mutual understanding.
Atticus is trying to tell Scout to judge herself before judging others. The learned lawyer and moral compass of the novel gives his daughter this advice after she expresses her anger towards her brother for rolling her in a tire. Atticus goes on to explain that Scout should look at her own behavior before judging her brother’s. Scout’s own insistence on playing with Jem and Dill, Atticus tells Scout, is what led to the incident. Atticus implies that by figuratively “looking inside herself,” Scout can easily see why her brother behaved badly. Scout agrees with this and, seemingly, with Atticus’s suggestion that she use this technique to more completely understand “all kinds of folks.” The implication here is that with insight about herself comes an ability to relate.

Atticus is trying to tell Scout to put herself in other people’s places before judging them. The learned lawyer and moral compass of the novel gives his daughter this advice after she rolls into Boo Radley’s yard. Atticus goes on to explain that Boo Radley has suffered in the past. His suffering is what led to him hiding in his own house. Atticus implies that by figuratively “climbing into [the] skin” of others--in this case, Boo Radley’s skin--Scout can easily see why the man is dangerous and why she needs to stay out of his yard. Scout agrees with this and, seemingly, with Atticus’s suggestion that she use this technique to more completely understand “all kinds of folks.” The implication here is that with insight about the concerns of others comes an ability to relate.

Atticus is trying to tell Scout to put herself in other people’s places before judging them. The learned lawyer and moral compass of the novel gives his daughter this advice after her run-in with Calpurnia. Atticus goes on to explain that Calpurnia is teaching Scout to be polite to everyone. Calpurnia’s slap was intended to “wake Scout up” to the plight of others. Scout’s inconsiderate treatment of Walter Cunningham, Atticus tells Scout, is what led to Calpurnia’s justified punishment of Scout. Atticus implies that by figuratively “climbing into [the] skin” of others--in this case, both Calpurnia’s skin and Walter’s skin--Scout can easily see why punishment was necessary. Scout agrees with this and, seemingly, with Atticus’s suggestion that she use this technique to more completely understand “all kinds of folks.” The implication here is that with insight about the concerns of others comes an ability to relate.
