characterization esay vish

               Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, She is considered smart for her age. She is also a tomboy who spends majority of her time with her brother. She gets in trouble with her teacher Ms. Caroline because she wants Scout to learn reading and writing her own way. She matures from age 6 to age 8 in this novel  but still retains the childish but that is normall for her age. The novel is written from the point of view of an adult Scout and she viewed things as a child, and she often comments about how she didnt understand something at the time but now having grown up she knows how to be mature. She is the only one of the novels three children Dill, Jem, and herself to see and speak to Boo Radley during the course of the novel.

              Scout was terrified of the Boo but once she actually sees him she realizes that he is a good guy She learns the true meaning of getting to know someone before judging them for who they are not by getting in their skin and walking around in it. By the end she is sad that she never gave Boo anything back as boo gave them treasures and saved their lives. She is an innocent child and has not yet been able to understand the concepts of being a mature adult. Scout was confused by some of the words and names she's heard people talking about her father Atticus since many of her classmates call Atticus a nigger lover. Scout does not know how to handle these situations because she's only six so she solves her problems by fighting.

              Scout is also engaged to Dill, She is also an inspiration to her father. She saves the lives of others when a mob is trying to attack Atticus. Scout says to Mr. Cunningham about inviting his son over for dinner and that he was a nice boy. Mr. Cunningham then tells the other mob members to get back in their cars and leave them alone. The mob acuttually listen and they all got back in their cars and then Scout didn't even mean to save her father's life.

VISH DIRECTOR CHAPTER 17-21

i found myself thinking about how horrible it would to be living in life of all the characters in this section, all of the racism and blacks getting blamed for stuff they didn't do and they cant do anything about it. the section in the last chapter where they where in court and creating everyone equally. one of the most important ideas in this section is that you should create everyone equal no mater what the other person is like or has done or anything you have against them you should not let that discrimination show you should love everyone like the famous quote "keep your friends close but you're enemies closer". If i could ask the author any question i would ask what got her started writing this book what was her inspiration to write it and keep going and take all the time she did to perfect it. Our literature circle had a short discussion but we agreed on just about everything, i think that was the reason it did not take as long as others literature circles, one of the biggest arguments we had in our literature circle was if aticus was raised properly paige and colton thought she was not brought up right but they didnt have much evidence why or how she was, and me amy thought she was brought up right because she helped set up for the trial she wants all the racism to end. i am so glad i live in a good comunity that has freindly black people and white people and everyone can get along with out fighting or arguing and creating a conflict and we cna talk to talk about anything with our close friends just like aticus did to her aticus told her everything.
