In this scene, Scout gets in a fight with Francis, who calls Atticus mean and derogatory names, which offends Scout. She then punches him, resulting in a punishment by Uncle Jack, who did not bother to listen to both sides of the store. In this scene, the Finch family spend their holiday at Finch’s Landing, an old country house where Atticus’s sister, Alexandra, and her husband live. Scout is forced to spend time with Francis, Alexandra’s boring grandson. Francis, after calling Dill a runt and Atticus a “nigger-lover”, is cursed and beaten up by Scout. Francis immediately told Uncle Jack and Aunt Alexandra that Scout hit him, and Uncle Jack, without hearing Scout’s side of the story, spanked her anyway (Lee 110). Scout decides to tell Uncle Jack what Francis said when they came back to Maycomb and Jack becomes very angry at Francis and himself. Because Scout does not want Atticus to find out about why she actually beat up Francis, she makes promises Jack not to tell Atticus about the whole situation. Scout did not want Uncle Jack to tell Francis because “ he asked me one time not to let anything I heard about him make me mad, an’ I’d ruther him think we were fightin’ about somethin’ else instead” (Lee 114).

  Miss Maudie, the positive woman who lives across the street has a lot of lessons for Scout, even if she isn't with Scout most of the time. As Miss Maudie acts during her

  Early in the novel, Scout illustrates the courage she embodies.  On her first day of school, Scout acts as an ambassador for the entire class.  She takes the duty of informing Miss Caroline of Walter Cunningham's situation.  Miss Caroline had just scolded Scout for her ability to read, however, Scout still feels the classes' need for leadership.  Most children at her age would fear speaking

Francis, an arrogant boy. Scout, an obstreperous girl. Uncle Jack, a righteous man. Who wins this battle of faults? One blames the other and the other blames one, but perhaps blame contains more fluidity than we thought it’s stoic, just ideal set out to harness. In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, crafted so lovingly by author Harper Lee, Scout sets out unknowingly on her search for a fight almost directly after she was told to play nice. Without a care for her age, Scout angers herself to the point in which she begins to desire dominance over those who oppose or offend her, and this just so happens to be the focal point of Francis’s mission. Francis is Scout’s cousin, whom she visited during Christmas on Finch’s Landing - her Auntie’s abode. Francis is the type of boy who gets

She only fights Francis to stick up for Atticus. It took a great amount of courage to do so, for that she told Atticus she would not fight anyone else who disagreed with what he was doing. She had to dig deep for the courage and strength to disobey her father. In the end, Atticus was glad Scout cared so much about his well being, that he had forgiven her for disobeying

As Scout and Jem walk home from the pageant they got attacked by Mr. Ewell. They screamed for help and the only person that heard them was Arthur (Boo) Radley. So he ran out to rescue their lives. This is the first time Mr.Radley left his house and the first time Scout saw him. To most people it was a mystery how Mr. Radley looked. When he was at Scout’s house he went to the farthest corner and the people there acted as if Mr. Radley was invisible.

2. Atticus is defending Thomas Robinson because he values equality and justice, so he decides to defend Mr. Robinson even though he is black.

Scout also shows that she is more mature by showing her understanding of how the townspeople are. Scout attends church with Calpurnia and realizes that Calpurnia offers  more adventure than just taking care of the Finch family. After listening to Mayella’s testimony in the Tom Robinson trial, Scout decides that Mayella must be a very lonely person. Scout also gave up fighting when she loses her temper.

The theme of the conflict between Scout and cousin Francis is to not let words get to one’s emotions. In chapter seven Francis gradually gets under Scout’s skin more and more. First, readers see the conflict between the two family members when Francis questions Scout and Jem’s chemistry set. Continuing, Francis then judges Dill’s life while spreading his opinions about Atticus’ parenting and beliefs. In To Kill A Mockingbird Francis states, “I guess it ain't your fault if Uncle Atticus is a n*gger-lover besides, but I’m here to tell you it certainly does mortify the rest of the family-”

Firstly, when Scout was about to begin fighting Cecil Jacobs for calling her father a negro lover, which was clearly an insult towards Atticus Finch. She was on the verge of fighting Cecil, however Atticus’s words echoed and made her change her decision. Even so, Scout wasn’t fully grown up and strong enough to resist fighting Francis when he said vile things about her father. Scout doesn’t have much temper control and so she was very close to fighting Cecil Jacobs. She “drew a bead on remembering what Atticus said, then had dropped (her) fist and walked away… It was the
