What do you think this says about Harper Lee’s outlook on life? Do you agree with Atticus’s observation? What do you do to really understand a person?

Quote 2:
That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spotlight, I’m
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Lyrics from the REM song ‘Losing My Religion.’

Quote 3:
People are sending suggestions. And we’re taking it all under advisement.

Any ideas for the First Dog? I say a Labradoodle or a little dog.
