To Kill A Mockingbird Scout Confident

through Boo Radley. Her transformation can be seen when comparing her mindset at the beginning and end of the story. In chapter 3 Atticus tries to teach her about this topic in which he says: "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." (pg. 30). Atticus explains to Scout that she needs to try and see things from another's viewpoint even when they don’t see eye to eye. In Scout’s case, she learns to not judge people before she has a chance to see thing from their perspective. At the end of the book, Scout finally learns this lesson, as she says: "Atticus, he was real nice" which indicates her realization that some people are not what rumors say they are. Atticus the replies to her: "Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them." (pg.376).

During this time, Scout was able to see how unfairly some people were treated. She was able to see how a white persons word almost always was greater than a black persons word. I think being able to sit through the trial; Scout was able to see how racists some people were acting and how some adults were acting. Scout learns to deal with others and that some things aren’t always going to go the way she intends. Scout was always taught from her father, Atticus, that you should treat everyone with respect and you should tolerate everyone. Even though you may not like someone or they may not be your best friends you should still treat them just like anyone else and be fair towards

<br>Later in the book, however, Scout changes. She now tries to control her temper, and is somewhat successful. One example of this is when Cecil Jacobs, another of Scout's classmates, insults Atticus by saying that Atticus defended Niggers. Scout remembers that she shouldn't fight, and walks away. "Cecil Jacobs made me forget. He had announced in the schoolyard the day before that Scout Finch's daddy defended niggers… ‘You gonna take that back boy?' ‘You gotta make me first!' he yelled… ‘I drew a bead on him, remembered what Atticus had said, then dropped my fists and walked away, ‘Scout's a cow-ward!' ringing in my ears" (80-81). Scout also learns to respect and value

How Scout Develops from a Tomboy to a Young Lady in To Kill a Mockingbird

As Scout begins to consider people?s opinions about prejudicial behavior she soon feels obligated to understand these racial judgments. Scout, being the curious and forthright girl she is, feels that only way to do so is by interrogating these estimations. ?As Atticus had once advised me to do, I tried to climb into Jem?s skin and walk around in it? (57). At this specific point in the novel, it is clear that Scout has learned a valuable lesson. The social lesson accomplished is never to judge anyone before determining their past experiences or hardships. Not only Scout?s social well-being, but her mental and emotional well-being progress extensively throughout the events of the novel. This is clearly defined by the following quote. ?Atticus had promised me he would wear me out if he ever heard of me fighting anymore, I was far too old and too big for such childish things, and the sooner I learned to hold it in, the better off everybody would be?(74). The quote stated by Scout proves that she is willing to mature at such a crucial time as the trial. She discovers that it is more important for Atticus to

She would get a better understanding of this as the novel progresses. Scout also learns more about maturity when she experiences hypocrisy from her teacher, “Over here we don’t believe in persecuting anybody. Persecution comes from people who are prejudiced. Pre-ju-dice,” She is contradicting herself, saying that it is acceptable to persecute blacks but not Jews. It dawned on Scout that people are hypocrites and have double standards when it suits them. The biggest step the children took towards growing up was during the Tom Robinson trials. There, the children received full exposure to the evils, malevolence, prejudice and sorrow of the cruel world as a white man accuses an innocent black man for raping when all Tom ever wanted to achieve was to help others. The children understood what was going on completely and was therefore changed because of it. At the unexpected climax of the novel, the children have an unpleasant encounter with Bob Ewell who wanted to take revenge on Atticus for humiliating him by killing his children. This was an absolutely outrageous act of insanity but also taught the children how dangerous reality could be, finalizing their journey into adulthood.

Undoubtedly, Scout had tomboyish attributes. At times, it seemed as though she would rather be a lady than a tomboy, but this appeared prompted by her older brother, and constant playmate, Jem. When she protested to trying to see Boo Radley,

Scout learns 3 important things about life in the book. One thing she learns is that life is unfair. She experiences this in a court case with her dad defending a black man named Tom Robinson who is accused for raping Mayella Ewell the daughter of Bob Ewell. Mr. Atticus had very good reasons on why Tom should not be accused of rape and everyone in the court including the jury and judge were sure that he would win but at the end of the case the jury decided

In To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee chooses to narrate the book from the perspective of Scout, who is a child. One of the themes of the book is growing up, and questioning the ways of the people in Maycomb. Scout always thought that the people in Maycomb were the best until she started to realize that a lot of them were very racist when the trial gets closer. Because she is a kid, her opinions can change more easily than those of an adult. Because she hasn’t known the people in Maycomb for as long as the adults, she can more easily accept that they have bad views, while people who have known them for a while would deny that because they’ve always thought they were a good person.

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

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout realizes society is not so kind to colored people, which is helpful to her development by giving her options to not follow society. Atticus teachers her that society’s norms of hating negroes is not acceptable, and that society is unenlightened. “‘Scout,’ said Atticus, ‘nigger-lover is just one of those terms that don’t mean anything--like snot-nose. It’s hard to explain--ignorant, trashy people use it when they think somebody’s favoring Negroes over and above themselves…’ (Lee 144). Her father teaches her that the people who do not like colored people are just ignorant. During the 1960s, the period of To Kill a Mockingbird, society says that being black is not acceptable. Scout determines that she does not want to be a part of that society because of what her father teaches. Scout’s family is her society. Her family’s teachings are shown to be extremely beneficial to her character development. Her character develops because of her father’s beliefs, just like Jeannette’s did. She learns to have empathy, kindness and becomes very understanding. These are all traits that one can describe Scout as. If it was not for Scout’s father, it is likely that Scout

Scout in the book shows that she is intelligent, but at the same time she acts different then other girls. She is more interested in things that boys do. The most notable characteristic that Scout has is that she believes that everyone in her life is good, but during the trial of Tom Robinson she realizes that people can be bad.

Scout is the misunderstood tomboy of the well known Finch family. She didn't grow up with a motherly figure, inheriting many traits from her brother and her father. Thus, making her quite the outcast from the many girls at her school. This was a time where being very ladylike meant a lot, wearing dresses, make up, cross your legs, and biting your tongue. The many qualities a lady should have back then, but she lacked many of those which is why she stood out.

To begin with the level one preconventional stage that Scout was in the begin of the book is usually associated with children, while they are being taught that bad actions have consequences. The people that present this type of level conduct according to socially acceptable standards, because they have been set by someone of a higher authority (Robert N. Barger,.) Between the beginning of the book and the middle of the book she went through a series of different events like the trial of Tom Robinson that directly impacted her dad Atticus which as a fact was his lawyer defending the case. This situation had a huge impact on Scout because not everyone in that town thought the same way Atticus did; in defending human rights. When a person is in this level the moral values that they have at that moment of their life is more of the discipline action. They have been taught that bad behavior will not be rewarded. In addition Scout knew that fighting would lead to Attius being really upset with her, and she

To begin with, Scout Finch is a Tomboy. Scout enjoys climbing tree’s, getting down and dirty on the ground, or running around with friends. There were many issues with this, as prejudice dominated the minds of people in the south in this century, most expected femininity of a woman. For example, Aunt Alexandra constantly
