Life Lessons

Through chapters 22 to 28, Jem and Scout learns several lessons from the adults near them. One of things that Jem learned was that there are still many white people who cheats or treats African - Americans cruelly, and those people are pure trash.

""...As you grow older, you'll see whit 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."" (pg. 220)

This is a part where Atticus Finch tells his son, Jem about how wrong it is for a white men to treat African - American unfairly. Jem learns that no men, whether they were rich, or came from a fine family or not, shall ever treat an African - American unfairly.

Racism is still existing in this world that we live in. Even though it is not as severe as back in the time where white men had more rights than African - Americans, racism still exists. I believe this is one of the most important lessons to learn because no one has any rights to offend anybody by their races. No one shall be made fun of or offended just by their races-- the way they were born. I think people should keep this lesson in their mind and get rid of racism as quick as possible.
