Discuss how this changes the way Scout views the other person's situation - Jem, Atticus, Boo (Arthur Radley), and/or Tom Robinson. How does this concept help Scout use sympathy and compassion? (Beginning of Ch 7, p 33, p 65) 2 - learns that it's a sin to kill a Mockingbird. This means that it's a sin to harm those who are innocent or only try to do good in the world such as Boo (Arthur Radley), Atticus, Tom Robinson, and the children.

She learns this by watching the courtroom drama and the manners that Atticus and Tom Robinson have toward all people.
