Explanation:
Brian walks to school about one mile from his home in rural Connecticut. He set up for school as usual by 6am hoping to arrive in an hour's time. Brian had walked for about 30 minutes when without warning, heavy rain began to fall. Within minutes, Brian was soaked to the skin. On reaching the railing intersection, he noticed that the railway bridge has given way during the heavy downpour. As he was about crossing, Brian sees the train coming. It took his mind seconds to register that this means a ghastly accident for the oncoming train. Without a second hesitation, Brian stood on the track, ignoring the warning whistles and started waving his shirts. Providence was on his side because the captain of the train sited him from a good distance and started applying the brake. Just a few metres from where he stood, the train halted and the accident was prevented. Brian was rewarded for his bravery .
Secrets are one of the central themes in the book, although they are not the most prominent theme, they are quite important, as the ending of the book relies heavily on an untrue fact and untrue story, or rather a secret, which determines the fate of one of the characters. This quote (above in your question) particularly mirrors the quote " You never really know a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around it." Boo Radley remains a secret from the beginning of the book until the end and this quote relates to him as Scout and Jem try to figure him out, since he is so mysterious, yet another one of the secrets present in the novel.
