To kill a mocking bird - Quote Picker

Posted by hanyoungrok on 27th June 2008

chapter 3

page 31

-’until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.’

It means that you understand the other men/women’s position.

 

-but if Walter and I had put ourselves in her shoes we’d have seen it was an honest mistake on her part.

Aforementioned, it is similar meaning as above sentence. ‘put ourselves in her shoes’ means that you stand in her position.

 

page 33

-Jem and I were accustomed to our father’s last-will-and-testament diction,and we were at all times free to interrupt Atticus for a translation when it was beyond our understanding.

We can know personality of father.Atticus is friendly and obliging to his children
