ÃÂYou never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, ÃÂ until you climb into his skin and walk around in itÃÂ(Page 33 To Kill A Mocking Bird)This statement made by atticus reflects his views on prejudice and justice. The aim of this discussion is to show the different perspectives and views of some of the characters in To Kill a Mockingbird. The three points of view that I will present in my discussion of this statement are: Bob EwellÃÂs extreme prejudices towards blacks, AtticusÃÂs fairness and Boo RadleyÃÂs innocence. Atticus Finch, father of Jem and Scout is the fairest citizen of Maycomb ÃÂa tired old townÃÂ in Alabama. Boo Radley is an intelligent child emotionally damaged by his cruel father.
Bob Ewell is considered by many to be white trash because of his way of living and his alcohol addiction. Unlike Atticus, Bob Ewell is unable to see other peopleÃÂs points of view.

English: Bacillus Atticus AtticusThis is why he lashes out on Mayella after seeing her kiss Tom Robinson. He does not understand his daughter who was lonely and that this was why she tried to seduce the innocent Tom Robinson. Bob reacted violently to this saying, ÃÂyou god damn whore, IÃÂll kill yaÃÂ and beating her around the head. This is an example of his prejudice towards Negroes. If it were a white man that Mayella tried to kiss, it would be unlikely that Bob would have beaten her and reported him to the police. Another example of his prejudice and inability to see things from anotherÃÂs point of view is when he confronts and threatens Atticus after the court hearing. Bob does not understand that Atticus was only doing his job in defending Tom. He was not, as Bob thought, out to...
Structure
Its starts off pretty good, you have a good grasp of the story itself, the last sentence of the first paragraph needs a rewrite. It goes a little downhill towards the end, there's nothing wrong with what you had to say. but everything you sought to show in the intro should have been its own paragraph. and you need to have a conclusion. So basically you just need to create more structure. You probably have heard this before, but if you create an outline it really does produce a more organized essay and often it saves you the trouble of having to go over what you've written before you turn it in. ive used outlines before writing essays on exams in uni, and often the organization has lead me to As. Plus if you learn the skill early on, it becomes easy to use later and thus gives you an advantage over other writers.
