In Chapter 3, on page 39, Atticus teaches Scout the importance of understanding others' perspectives. Scout is a naive child with a quick temper at the beginning of the novel. Like most children, Scout is unaware of how other people view certain situations. Her narrow perspective gets her into trouble on the first day of school. In Chapter 3, following a misunderstanding with her teacher, Scout goes home and tells her father about her rough first day of school. Scout tells Atticus that she would like to stay home for the remainder of the school year. Atticus encourages Scout to consider the viewpoint of other people, and "climb into their skin and walk around in it" to understand their perspective. He explains to Scout that Miss Caroline made an honest mistake handing Walter Cunningham a quarter because she was unaware of his family's background. Scout tried to explain Walter's situation and upset Miss Caroline in the process. Following her father's lesson, Scout tries her best to see things from other people's point of view. Later on, when Jem is moody after retrieving his pants from the Radleys' yard, Scout attempts to "walk in his shoes" to understand how he is feeling.
