Scout Changing

She learns through seeing the two polar opposites of judgment, the not judgemental attitude of Atticus and the prejudice of Maycomb that prejudice is absurd.

Scout Changing

Through her fathers well nurtured guidance Scout becomes more mature and accepting of all of the racist, hypocrites she is surrounded by.

"I had never seen our neighborhood from this angle... As I made my way home, I felt very old... As I made my way home, I thought Jem and I would get grown but there wasn't much else left for us to learn, except possibly algebra."(373)

ACTS LIKE

Scout acts mostly like a child but act maturely if need be. This is made evident when she met Arthur Radley.

Her mannerisms change as the book progresses. As seen via a simple comparison.

Looks Like

Scout Changing

She begins the novel being as judgemental as we as humans are, that being very judgemental.

Scout is a Tomboy, she wears a shirt with overalls, and has her hair cut short and messy like a boy.

Scout Changing

“Catching Walter Cunningham the courtyard gave me pleasure” (30).

Scout becomes less violent and less judgemental. She stops assuming things of people and instead waits to walk in their skin until she casts final judgement.

"What's the matter?' I asked.

Atticus said nothing. I looked up at Mr. Cunningham, whose face was equally impassive. Then he did a peculiar thing. He squatted down and took me by both shoulders.

'I'll tell him you said hey, little lady,' he said.

Then he straightened up and waved a big paw. 'Let's clear out,' he called. 'Let's get going, boys."(154)

The Lessons Scout learns:

SCOUT

"Atticus said to Jem one day, 'I'd rather you shoot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.'

That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something."(90)

Scout changing

Lesson 3:

Don't judge others, respect them.

At the beginning of the novel Scout is rambunctious and rather foolish.

Lesson 4:

Respect and understanding are the key to peaceful coexistence, in other words one must walk around in the others skin to understand them.

Why Scout?

Innocent therefore more reasonable?

Perhaps a neutral and pure opinion was needed.

How was the Tomboy aspect relevant?

"As Atticus once advised me to do, I tried to climb into Jem's skin and walk around in it: if I had gone alone to the Radley Place at two in the morning, my funeral would have been held the next afternoon. So I left Jem alone and tried not to bother him." (57)

“Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I'd have the facts.”
