The theme I decided to write about was respect for others. Throughout the book Atticus teaches them many lessons but most of them revolve around this one theme.For example, when Aunt Alexandra and the family are talking, Alexandra answers a question rudely and Scout said, "I didn't ask you!" Atticus' voice was deadly: "First, apologize to your aunt." (136) Also,when Jem cut Mrs. Dobose's flowers Atticus made him read to her after school.
The book is getting better each chapter. At first, it was just a build up to where we are in the book now. There is most definatly greater meaning behind the characters and events. I think each character represents something in the book and the events show how many people in Maycomb judge by skin color and amount of money/looks.
