Lessons from To Kill a Mockingbird

Out of the movie To Kill a Mockingbird I have learned one of the most important lessons in life. The lesson I learned is of courage. I have always thought of courage as toughness or guts, but it's not a state of body, it's a state of heart and mind. I have learned this lesson many times in life, but it this movie it was the first time it really hit me. The most important courage of all is courage of the soul. Courage that tells you how honest and thoughtful a person is, not how tough. Atticus Finch is the character in the movie who has the most courage. He is one of those people who will always find a way to do the right thing. I understand why Mr. Johnson would want to be like Atticus. -Brenna
