1) ‘You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view. Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it’. This idea is explored through Walter Cunningham being judged by Scout when he goes to the Finches’ house for lunch and she talks rudely to him because he’s a Cunningham. Scout doesn’t know what its like to be Walter and this quote is symbolic of Scout inheriting the town’s discriminatory ways and Atticus wanting her to abandon her closed minded opinion of Walter and become more open minded so she can learn to be more respectful.

2) Furthermore, Calpurnia’s reaction to Scouts rudeness shows how she also, like Atticus, values equality ‘don’t matter who they are, anybody who sets foot in this house is yo’ comp’ny ‘. This highlights how Scout needs to be more accepting of Walter because the foundation of their household is build on equality as Calpurnia is seen as one of the family, rather than a house maid.
