In chapters 2-3 in TKaM we came across two amazing quotes that I feel are worth taking second look at.
The first quote is on Chapter 2 page 2, on Scout's first day of school when her teacher Ms. Fisher asks her to stop reading and Scout's thought is "Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing."
What are you thoughts on this quote? What if you were asked to stop doing something that you loved to do and meant a lot to you? What you do? Remember during this time period respect was everything so when an adult told a child to do something you did it.
The second quote comes in chapter 3 page 39 when Atticus and Scout are having a conversation about what Scout needs to do in order to get along with people. 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."
What are your thoughts on Atticus's advice? Was this good advice or not? Would you have given Scout different advice?
I look forward for your thoughts on Chapters 4-6 on Monday. Hope you all are having a great weekend :)
