In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, for her age, Scout is quite a feisty girl. She uses her fists to solve problems, but she should be using her head. Scout got hounded on by explaining why Walter could not borrow a quarter for lunch. “Walter hasn’t got a quarter at home, and you can’t use any stovewood” …show more content…
(Lee 28). Scout blamed him for getting her in trouble, so she rubbed his nose in the dirt until Jem stopped her and invited Walter to dinner. Scout rubbing, Walter’s nose in the dirt, shows herself to be feisty and estimate the worth of school. Atticus tells Scout that she may not fight anymore. Scout gets in another fight with Francis when he tells Scout that Dill is a runt. She then calls Atticus a “nigger-lover.” Due to him saying that, Scout curses Francis and beats him up. As some can tell, Scout is very feisty as well as outspoken, because she does not know how to keep her mouth shut.
Scout is extremely outspoken. Whether she is talking about the Cunninghams, or about the lice scurrying around Burris Ewells head, she has no filter. The Cunninghams are poor, proud farmers. Because of the Cunninghams bring poor, Scout does not get along with Walter. Scout comments on how Walter puts molasses on his dinner. “Walter poured syrup on his vegetables and meat with a generous hand. He would probably have poured it into his milk glass had I not asked what in sam hill he was doing” (Lee 32). She must be curious on why he was using molasses, but it is rude to tease him about his habits. Just because it is rude, does not stop Scout from saying anything.
Scout is also a curious young woman.
Scout seems to be interested in why Boo Radley had not ran off. “Why do you reckon Boo Radley’s never ran off” (Lee 192)? She also sits on Atticus’s lap as he reads the newspaper. Scout has known to read before she went to school, because her dad taught her how. They read every night before bed. Atticus would tuck her in every night before reading. Miss Caroline told Scout that she may not read with her father anymore, because she thought she had nothing to teach Scout. Scout loves Boo and she has been wondering where he’s been. She missed him and wanted to see him. At the end of the movie, Boo came out and saved the kids from the person who hurt the kids.
In occasions throughout this story, people may often see how Scout was feisty, outspoken, and curious. She was a very smart and intelligent girl that could read before everyone else, but she was not very smart with handling anger. People may have noticed as they were reading, that I wrote a lot about Scout being feisty. That would be because Scout always gets into fights. She can get out of hands sometimes. Scout gets notified many time from Atticus that she needs to stop fighting with
Walter.
