allegory to this notion: "To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, old infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour." The idea that everything in the world is subjective and the physical manifestations of matter are purely a construct of observation.

In To Kill a Mockingbird, I think that I have a personality similar to Mr. Walter Cunningham. Some of our personality traits are different, but I think we have some similar traits.
