life lessons

Jem and scout snuck into the court room when tom robbinsons trial was going on. Anyone could have seen that tom was innocent but he got convicted anyway. Jem and scout didnt understand this. When they were having this conversation with atticuss he once said, "They've done it before and they did it tonight and they'll do it again . . ."(213) And they will do it again. Convicting a man on false pretenses but they will do it again and the children needed to understand that. Things arent always right for say and justice isn't always served but sometimes it is and when it is it should matter the most.
When it does happen you should parish it because we do not live in a perfect world. its important for scout and jem to learn this so when things do get cruel they wont be so down and will understand why and that it will happen several times in there life. When you learn these things you learn as a person and thats crucial.
