Atticus is perhaps the most educated man, aside from Judge Taylor, in Maycomb. His status as a lawyer set him aside from the rural farmers trying to eke out a living. Ms. Caroline also has a certain amount of power. She is educated and from a much bigger town than Maycomb. The Cunninghams are near the bottom but the lowest are the Ewells.

What creates these differences in status? From the book TKAM

Atticus tells Scout "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around in it". Can you ever fully understand another person's point of view? What is the value in trying?
