Early in the novel, 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", he is really giving her advice that will inform her character throughout the novel. He is also reinforcing a major theme that takes shape in all of the struggles of the characters.
When you consider this advice...
Why do you think Harper Lee choose to create a narrator who is an adult looking back at her childhood? What is it about the nature of children that make this advice so poignant?
