the book like how to respect people's choices and opinions. Scout learns grows up thinking Boo Radley is some kind of monster, but when she meets him she grows too learn that he is really a kind and caring man. In this example Scout is speaking to Jem when they are talking about how scary Boo Radley is and how they believe he eats cats and squirrels. Jem gives a description of what he believes to be him and says in one part “He dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that’s why his hands were blood stained” (Lee 13) This is important to the story because the children grow up imagining Mr Arthur as a scary person, almost monster like. But when they meet him for the first time, he is a good person that Scout seems too like. Another point is that Scout grows up without a mother, and she doesnt grow up with a lady other than captrina and the neighbor ladies. They begin to worry about her growing up too not be very lady like. So when Aunt Alexandra comes to live with them scout isn’t used to having a mother, she doesn't seem too like the idea of wearing a dress and acting more ladylike. But she learns to be more respectful and try new things. In this seen scout is explaining what happens when her and her aunt talk about her wardrobe. Scout likes to wear breeches, and coveralls. But her auntie believes she should only be wearing dresses. Scout says “When I said I couldn't do anything in a dress, she said I wasn't supposed to be doing things that require pants.” (Lee 81) Scout doesn't agree with her aunt trying to control her so much, and making her wear these dresses when she really doesn't want to. But she wears them to respect her aunties decisions, and she grows to like them a bit more. Even if she liked coveralls better. This shows that she has learnt to respect people. Scout also learns throughout her life that people have different opinions than each other, and learns that it can be good and bad throughout her life.
Scout goes through Tom Robinson's trial thinking he must have done something to be in a trial, but the farther into the trial it gets she begins to realize it's not this man that went wrong. But it's the whole town that chooses not to see the good in him, not because of who he is, but because of the colour of his skin. She learns that everyone is equal, no matter the situation it shouldn't be based on who they are or what they look like. In the first quotation Atticus is explaining the Jem and Scout why Tom Robinson is found guilty even though he isn't. He explains how the courts are unfair when it comes to a coloured mans word against a white mans, and how it may not be right but that's how it is. “There’s something in our world that makes men lose their heads, they couldn’t be fair if they tried. In our courts, when it's a white man’s word against a black man’s, the white ,am always wins. They’re ugly, but those are the facts of life.” (Lee 220) This quote is important because it shows that Scout learns that the world may not be equal, but they can do their best too treat others equal because it is the right thing to do. Not judge someone for reasons like most do. Another point is Mr raymond pretends to be an alcoholic to give people a real reason to hate him, instead of people not liking him for things that shouldn't matter to them. Scout doesn't agree with what people say about him, and learns that people have their own ways of life, and everyone should treat each other equally. After Dill takes a sip from Mr. Raymond's paper bag after Scout tells him not to, he says it's just Coca Cola, and Mr Raymond explains why he pretends to be a drunk. “That ain’t honest Mr. Raymond, making yourself out badder and you already are.” says Scout, but Mr. Raymond says “It ain't honest but it’s mighty helpful to folks.
Secretly, Miss Finch, Im not much of a drinker, nut you see they could never, never understand that I live like I do because that's the way I want to live.” (Lee 200-201) This is important because Scout learns to put herself into other peoples position. And she realizes that with the world the way it is, it is much easier for Mr Raymond to do the things he does too live the way he does, even if it's not truly the right thing to do to her she realizes there isn't much else for him to do. Scout learns how to see everyone equally, no matter the colour of their skin, or their life choices. She realizes the rest of the world may not be that way, but the best she can do is realize that is does matter to most people if she shows equality.
