Examples:

Mrs.Dubose is a nasty old woman to to the children, but Atticus has to fill in her background for them. The quotation,"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it." The minor character successfully aligns with the quote said by Atticus as the children did not think differently, only until from how Atticus sees her as.
