I think this theme applies to To Kill A Mocking Bird because throughout the book (so far) Atticus, and Scout bring perspectives up in many different ways to each other and other people in the story. Some examples of this are when Mr Walter Cunningham and the other folks are down at the County Jail to beat up Atticus and scout is talking to Mr. Cunningham about his son walter j.r. in the same grade and school as Scout. And it really made Mr. Cunningham rethink his attempt to hurt Atticus, and realize that he was a father just like Atticus, he had a son. So thankfully Walter just called the whole thing off, and left Atticus in the same condition he was in before. "Son you'll understand folks a little better when you're older. A mob's always made up of people, no matter what. M.r Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man...." Atticus seemed really thankful, but I don't think he expressed that very well to Scout. I bet he will though one day.
Also, another example of "perspectives" is, when Atticus tells Scout to try and be in other peoples shoes, and then see life. like Walter Cunningham and his sons, and also from the Ewells perspective. They are both quite poor families, and view life quite differently. My idea's about this book are that it is very interesting and has a lot of meanings that are not on the surface all the time, but you have to stop what you're reading and just think about if for a second. But I think it is a really great book.
