Throughout the first part of To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout learns important life lessons from her father, Atticus. After discussing characterization of Atticus in class this week, what do you consider to be the most important life lesson Atticus teaches Scout? Think about your own childhood - what are some of the most important life lessons you learned from a significant adult in your life?
The first paragraph for this post should focus on describing the most important lesson Scout learns from Atticus in part one of the novel. Briefly explain what prompts the lesson in the book and how Atticus teaches the lesson. For a more advanced analysis of the life lesson, include the effect of this part of the book on you, the reader. Why is this important? How does it add to your understanding of the characters and the novel as a whole?
For the second paragraph, describe an important life lesson you learned from a significant adult in your life (parent, teacher, close family friend, etc.) when you were younger. What prompted the lesson and how did it impact the person you are now?
This post is due Monday, October 12.
