After finishing the book I began evaluating the theme of walking in someone’s shoes. During the book, I noticed that Scout walks in Boo’s shoes. After walking Boo home, Scout sees the world from Boo’s point of view. She realizes how much Boo has seen them grow. Boo watched them from little children until they were young adults.

Just by the actions of Jem, Dill, and Scout, Boo was able to see that the town viewed him as a person that was locked up and scary. Jem, Dill and Scout were scared to go touch Boo’s house.

In life, it gets hard sometimes to keep your cool, even when you’ve had enough, but what you do next describes who you really are.

Harper Lee introduces the reader to the Finch family consisting of Atticus, Jem, and Scout.
