Introduction

Over the next ten blog entries, I, Dane Stolsig, a 15 year-old high school student, will be listing and analyzing significant and meaningful quotes from the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, from great Americans throughout history, and from personal mentors of mine in order to meet the requirements of an English assignment. In order to fill said requirements, I must also offer you advice derived from the little I have experience in my youth.

To Kill a Mockingbird has become a literary classic, and many life lessons are hidden between its pages.

If you leave here with nothing else, please leave with this: never be afraid in life. Never let fear hold you back from anything. Yes, sometimes you will fail, but worse than failing is never knowing what could have been.
