What does it mean to ‘put yourself in another person’s shoes’? What personal qualities are necessary to be able to see things as someone else does?
To put myself in another person’s shoes is to see things from their point of view, and to understand something by thinking the way they do. To put myself in another person’s shoes, I need to be unbiased and not prejudiced. I need to be able not allow my own bias to cloud my judgment.

What memories of childhood come to mind as you think about Scout’s experience?
As I read about Scout’s experiences, memories of my sister and me playing together, and exploring our neighborhood come to mind. We did many things that were similar to what Jem and Scout did, and we had lots of fun.

As you followed the action in the courtroom, which character did you empathize with the most?
In the courtroom, I empathized with Tom Robinson the most. He had one hand that could not be used. Furthermore, even though Atticus proved clearly that he did not rape Mayella Ewell, and that there was no way he could have done it, the other witnesses still did not admit that they were lying. In the end, even the judges made a biased decision and sentenced him as guilty.

What do you think is involved in making a fair judgment about a person or situation? Explain
I think that to make a fair decision, we need to know all the facts about the person or situation. After knowing all the facts about the person or situation, we need to consider various aspects. Firstly, we need to know the context in which the situation occurred, or how the situation came to be. Next, we need to consider the perspective from which we want to think about the person or value. Lastly, we might also need to know what other people think about the particular person or situation because we might have left out something in our judgment.
