When scout complains about her teacher, atticus tells her that "if you can learn a simple trick, scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around in it" [p. 33]. where in the novel does atticus himself demonstrate this kind of empathy? how does he regard those who criticize, ridicule, or threaten him? how would this ability to empathize with others help solve the problems that arise from racism and prejudice?
