life lessons

One important lesson that Jem and Scout learned was when Tom was convicted and Atticus said "They've done it before and they did it tonight and they'll do it again . . ."(213) when Atticus told them this Scout and Jem learned that life isn't always kind and can be cruel. I believe this is an important lesson to learn because if you do not except this fact then you will be living in a dream world.

Excepting this fact can also make you a stronger person. I know this to be true because when I learned my mother would most likly never walk again. I thought the world was a cruel and unfair place. But as time passed i excepted that the world was not always a kind place i became a stonger person.
