Life lessons

Through out chapters 22-28 Jem and scout learn many very helpful lessons. Out of all these lessons I think the best lesson they learned was the way other people treated blacks. When Jem was talking to Atticus about the way Bob Ewell spit in his face and threatened him, Atticus says " As you grow older, you'll See that white men cheat Black men every day of your life but let me tell you something and you don't for get it whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter, how rich he is, or how fine of a family he comes from, that white man is trash." (220) This is very important lesson for Jem to learn.

This is a lesson that my parents taught me but in a different form. They taught me never to discriminate against someone because of their race or any reason. they taught More that everyone should be treated equally no matter what color their skin is. This is an important lesson to learn because it teaches never o judge people by what they look like and to treat everyone equal.
