Perspective

How might not being able to understand someone else’s perspective lead to problems?  What can someone do to try to understand someone who has a perspective different than their own?

Can you describe someone in school or your family that has a different perspective than you? What is their perspective and how is it different from yours? What kind of experiences do you think they have had that would give them this different perspective? How could trying to understand their perspective be helpful?  Make an allusion to the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, a quote or a summary.

Imagine if Jem said, what do you mean? Answer that question.
Explain the other ways people can be made into ghosts.
