Walking in Someone Elses Shoes
Atticus: Have you guys been reading the in the paper lately about how there is a huge war in Indonesia were between 200,000 and 500,000 people are being killed by vigilantes all to do with racism, discrimination and prejudice between the different communities there. The Amount of genocide that is occurring in so many various countries is unbearable.
Martin Luther: Things need to start changing around here people need to start realizing that the 1 thing we all have in common is that we are all different.
Molly Craig: I think people have to realize that by saying and doing all these thinks to implement racism and prejudice that they are becoming bad humans. Everyone needs to think really hard about what they are saying and doing and in a sense walk in someone else shoes.
Atticus: Molly I agree completely with what you just said then. As I always say to my daughter Scout, “you never really know a man until you stood in his shoes and walked around in them”.
Atticus: and I am sure that us three have all seen different aspects of racism and prejudice, Because I am certain that I have seen quite a bit of racism and segregation and my time.
Martin Luther: Really Atticus? Do you mind shearing with us some of the things you have seen and heard?
Molly: Do you mind Atticus. After you I wouldn’t mind shearing a few stories and situations I have come across in my time as well.
Atticus: I don’t see the problem in that at that.
Martin Luther: Thanks Atticus.
Atticus: Well I used to be a lawyer in Maycomb county Alabama. during the years of the Great Depression. As a widowed father I had to learn to bring up my two children Jem and Scout with great morals and not an ounce of prejudice in them. In 1963 I had chosen to defend a black man by the name of Tom Robinson who at the time had been accused of raping a young white girl. The whole county disapproved of me defending Tom Robinson, all because he was a black man and this clearly showed the large amount of prejudice
