Being Yourself

 The book, and ultimately the move, of "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a multilayered  gem of human experience.

There is the wonderfully diametrically opposed relationships of fathers daughters with the gentle mentor relationship between Atticus and Scout, and  the dominating and abusive father daughter relationship of Tom and Mayella Ewell. 

 The juxtaposition of society of the times being exposed for all it's blatant inequities and injustices.  Each time I view the movie or read a small passage of the book,I open myself to compassion for what it takes to be true to yourself regardless of the norms of society. 

Integrity, and sense of conscious and the idea that the way you behaved whether people saw you or not is central to becoming yourself. 

It is a great piece of work and a helpful guide to being yourself.
