To Kill a Mockingbird?

Question

how does Scout lose her innocence when:
1) Jem and Scout witness the unfair trial of Tom Robinson
2) Jem and Scout were attacked by Bob Ewell
3) Jem injures his arm

Answer 1

Scout loses her innocence because she begins to be aware of the problems and hardships that people face. She begins to grow out of her childish innocent self and is not as carefree and innocent as she was before when she witnesses these things.

Answer 2

Children have a strong sense of justice and equality, and feelings about what is and is not "fair." Scout learned perhaps well before her time that life is not fair, that the judicial system is flawed and that adults make bad decisions. And that right is not always victorious in a court of law. The attack was another way in which she witnessed firsthand gross misconduct on the part of an adult, someone who she formerly saw as her protector. Adults do not always protect children and in fact cause them great harm, a hard lesson for a little girl. Her brother injuring his arm is more of the same.

Answer 4

First of all, there is not one cut and dried answer to this one.

She is a child and as such sees all of the world from the eyes of a child. She sees and understands the basic concepts of right and wrong but cannot necessarily understand the grown up view of either.

Because she begins to understand the idea of "walking in another person's shoes", she is able to become courageous enough to put herself in Boo Radley's shoes and see things through his eyes.

Because the story is about a childhood MEMORY instead of an on the spot narrative, there is a great deal of reflection added to the passage of time and events in her life from an adult perspective.
