In my opinion, the guiding question means how can the way we communicate with other people demonstrate how we know each other. By this I mean, how can the way we speak to one another really help us to make the understanding of one another easier.
Harper Lee really helped me to answer this question through her writing. In my opinion, To Kill a Mockingbird is based on discrimination and how the color of someone can immediately determine an answer; how people assume based on the race. This book is based on how people of different races were stereotyped and mistreated in their society back in those times. If you look at it, you can see the vast change and how we have become somewhat more conscious and aware of what we say. Discrimination hasn’t been eliminated from this world but it is most definitely not as big of a problem as it used to be around 50 years ago.
I learned that race and the color of your skin cannot determine you guilty of an issue you caused. Color of skin is just one thing, but the person inside that skin is what really matters. Accusations shouldn’t be made if there isn’t any proof. That’s a very strong lesson which the society in that time as well as today, should take into account and be aware of.
