Do you recall all the life lessons you have learned? The last reason I think this book is a classic novel is because of all the life lessons this book contains. Harper Lee include more than ten life lessons for us to see and also learn from. One of my favourite but also one of the most important life lessons we get shown is by one of the main characters Atticus Finch. The life lesson is to respect people no matter who they are or where they are from. Atticus showed us this in multiple ways for example how he only saw good in Mrs. Dubose even though she was always mean and angry towards his children. Also when Atticus listened to Tom’s side of the story and defended him for the truth and justice when he knew the chance of Tom winning his case was slim. Another life lesson Atticus introduced to us was to not judge someone unless you have climbed into their skin and walked around in it. This was the final lesson Scout Finch learned when she stood on Boo Radley's front porch with her arm linked with his. This was when she realised she was standing in Boo Radleys skin and understood how you felt. Another life lesson I liked and learned from was that bravery is not all about being physically brave. Scout found this out after she fought with Walter Cunningham. Do you not wish you figured all that out earlier in your childhood? These life lessons’ in the novel will be important for teenagers to know about because we become stronger and less vulnerable as we learn from our mistakes. Without life lessons there will never be a happy endings in sight for any of us. I can assure you that life lessons from this novel have taught and reminded me of what is important to me and what my values are. If you ever need reassurance or feel like reading a book based on a true story then this is definitely the book to
