York Notes: To Kill a Mockingbird
Variante: Aber wenn es nur eine Art von Menschen gibt, warum können sie dann nicht miteinander auskommen? Wenn sie alle gleich sind, warum haben sie dann nichts anderes im Kopf als sich gegenseitig zu verabscheuen? Scout, so allmählich wird mir was klar. So allmählich wird mir klar, weshalb Boo Radley die ganze Zeit im Haus bleibt... Er tut´s, weil er drinbleiben will

Kontext: "I'd rather you shot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.
“Your father's right," she said. "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."

Pt. 2, ch. 31
Jean Louise (Scout) Finch & Atticus Finch

Kontext: "An' they chased him 'n' never could catch him 'cause they didn't know what he looked like, an' Atticus, when they finally saw him, why he hadn't done any of those things... Atticus, he was real nice..."
"Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them."

Variante: You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
