To Kill a Mockingbird made me think more about others. I especially liked Atticus's quote, "you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view" (P.30). I learned that prejudices aren't always correct. Sometimes, people have preconceived notions about others, and they will need to be proven wrong. People can let their incorrect judgments stop them from thinking things through, and this can cause them to treat others unfairly.
I also thought a little bit about equality. I wonder whether people are treated similarly to Tom Robinson today, although in milder forms. Based on situations I've heard about, there most likely are quite a few cases of this. I learned that society has always been unequal, and that there should be more impartial, accepting individuals around to change that.
