Impact on my life.. haha

Through out this whole book a lot has gone on and all of the characters had lessons learned and even I did just reading the book. To kill a mockingbird taught me a lot about racism and the difference in white and black people in Maycomb. Even though there are people that are white that like black people in Maycomb, doesn't mean a black person can always win with a white person on there side. When Tom got shot 17 times and killed was not fair and shows how cruel the people in Maycomb were. 
Personally I don't think I have changed because I haven't had a racism problem with my friends since we read the book and there is not a lot of racism around me. When it says "why, if we followed our feelings all the time we'd be like cats chasin' their tails" you can't always do what you want because there is blocks in the way of life and you have to look around at your peers. I've learned more about my surroundings now going into high school. I'm also more aware and use those examples in an any day situation.
