While reading the book I was never really thinking about how it compared to my life but now after thinking about it there are several things in this book that I can compare to. One is that when Scout goes to school she realizes its not anything like she expected. She thought that she was ahead of the class because she could read but ended up being told it was a bad thing that she could read. My story is the opposite, going into kindergarten I was a year younger and behind everyone,well at least in my mind I was behind.
A lesson I learn ended up being something I knew but in a different way. I already knew about rasicm and racial disgrace but this book showed me a new way to look at it. Before reading the book I knew the definition of racism and what it was but it was never really a problem around when I was growing up or I just didn't notice it. But after reading the book it showed me a new way of seeing and thinking about racism and racial disgrace. Also I realize that its not gone, racial disgrace is still going on throughout the world as well as racism.
