To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeTo Kill a Mockingbird is a bittersweet fiction book, narrated by the character of a girl named Scout Finch. The book elaborates the story of her day-to-day experiences, while her father, who is a lawyer, fights a case against a white man who has blamed a black man for abusing his daughter. Mr. Finch, while he fights this case, teaches several lessons to his children, Scout and her elder brother Jem, during the course of the book. I thoroghly enjoyed reading this book, and in this review, I share life lessons I learned from the book.
#1 The fineness of an individual doesn’t stem from their bloodline but from their integrity. Lead a life of integrity.
#2 Talk to people about what they are interested in, more than what you’re interested in.
#3 Never give up based on the criticisms from people. There will always be people who will try to bring you down. Keep fighting even if you know that you will lose.
#4 Treat everyone as an equal.
#5 Stand up for what you know and think is right. Listen to your conscience. Don’t go by what is popular.
#6 Most people are nice if we really get to know them.
#7 Nothing is real scary except only in books.
#8 You never really know a man until you step into his shoes and walk in them. See the good in everyone. Perspective is the key.
#9 People have a habit of doing everyday things even under the oddest conditions.
#10 Life is fair because it is unfair to everyone.
#11 Shoot all the bluejays you want but remember it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. Mockingbird is a metphor for how we deal with someone who is weaker and defenceless against us. Never take advantage of them.
#12 Our system stores memories of experiences until we are ready to think about them and process them.
