128 Quotes Who said: “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”?

129 Answer Atticus said this – he is explaining this to Scout in Chapter 3 after she tells him about her bad day at school with Miss Caroline. It is important because Scott uses this piece of advice when considering the situations of other for the test of the book.

130 Quotes Who said: “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy... but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird”?

131 Answer Miss Maudie says this – In Chapter 10, Scout is thinking about what Atticus told Jem – that “it’s a sin to kill a mockinbird.” Miss Maudie says this as a response showing that she agrees with Atticus. This quote is important because the mockingbird in this sense symbolizes good people who are destroyed by evil or harmed for doing things that they never really did.

132 Quotes Who said: “As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash”?

133 Answer Atticus says this– In Chapter 23, Atticus is trying to console Jem when he is upset about the Jury’s verdict. This quote is important because Atticus is recognizing Jem’s level-headedness, but still reminding him that he must never forget as he grows up to treat all people fairly.

134 Quotes Who said: ““I think I’m beginning to understand why Boo Radley stayed shut up in his house all this time…it’s because he wants to stay inside”?

135 Answer Jem says this – In Chapter 23, Scout and Jem are discussing the differences between people. Jem is trying to make sense of it, but decides that the world is so complicated and confusing and that is why Boo Radley chooses to stay shut up in his house.

136 Quotes Who said: “The thing about it is our kind of folks don't like the Cunninghams, the Cunninghams don't like the Ewells, and the Ewells hate and despise the colored folks”?

137 Answer Jem says this– In Chapter 23, this is the beginning of Jem and Scout’s conversation about the differences between people. Jem says prior to this that there are four types of folks in the world (or at least in their world of Maycomb County): ordinary people like them and their neighbors, the kind like the Cunninghams, the kind like the Ewells, and the Negroes.
