Narrator/Scout: It was early morning I was barley awake as I slipped my head into Jems room. He and Atticus were sound asleep. "The Grey Ghost" was lying on the ground by Atticus’s chair wide open. I walked to the kitchen where Cal was placing the kettle on the stove for coffee.
Cal: well Jean Louise finch what are you doing up at this hour young lady.
Scout: I didn’t sleep well. I had a long night
Cal: well I can see that! The bags under your eyes are very big. Come on out to the porch and explain to me what was keeping you up last night.
Narrator/Scout: as I explained to cal what all happened that night she listened with her full attention. And when I had told cal everything I couldn’t help to just hug her.
Cal: it’s all right scout. I’m just happy yall are okay. I would have been terrified.
Narrator/scout: cal and I heard a door close inside the house so we went in to check on it.
Jems door had been closed and we saw Atticus in the kitchen.
Scout: morning Atticus!
Atticus: well good morning scout, calpurnia. What were yall doing out on the porch this morning?

    Calpurnia’s most kindly asset, though, is her ability to understand other people. Sometimes, from Scout’s point of view, the family cook seemed to have a sixth sense. “Perhaps Calpurnia sensed that my day had been a grim one: she let me watch her fix supper”(38). Knowing that Scout’s day had been rough, Calpurnia, with her mother-like tenderness, tried to console her the best way she knew how. Calpurnia also understood the children’s problems with each other. When Scout and Jem started to not get along as well, Calpurnia understood and was kinder to both of…

    Scout is a complex character in the novel “To Kill a Mockingbird”. From the beginning of the story, Scout goes against the stereotype of the “prissy little girl that plays with her dolls.” She prefers to play with Jem and Dill instead. She prefers to wear denim overalls instead of dresses. Throughout the story, her interactions with others help her grow up from a more wrongful thinking child into a wonderful, thoughtful one. In the beginning of the story, Scout is talking to Miss Maudie and says, “Jem said that maybe he died and they stuffed him up in the chimney.” This angers Miss Maudie because Scout does not understand what she can and cannot say about people. By the end of the story, Scout realizes what her words and actions can do to others. She is able to comprehend the concept that Atticus told her that is “climbing into his skin and walking around it.” During chapters 7-11, Scout and Jem notice that the knothole in a tree has been filled and react in different ways. While Jem is very upset about it since that was Boo Radley’s way of trying to be friendly to outsiders, Scout is more disappointed but not heartbroken. This acts as a comparison to see how Jem is growing up and starting to learn to think about the situation from the other person’s point of view. Later on, Scout gets into two confrontations with people who insulted Atticus because he was defending Tom Robinson. From the first confrontation, she is taught by Atticus that even though you may not win something, you should still fight it to the end to uphold what you believe in.…
