Answer 2

"Mockingbird" is a "growth" novel, and we see Scout mature in many ways as the time passes. She is an innocent, objective narrator, who relates what she remembers without judging. However, she is also a child, and a product of the society into which she has been born. She is not actively racist, but she accepts the social hierarchy of Maycomb, because she's too young to know anything else.

Answer 3

Harper Lee's, To Kill a Mockingbird.

At the beginning of the novel, Scout is an innocent, good-hearted five-year-old child who has no experience with the evils of the world. As the novel progresses, Scout has her first contact with evil in the form of racial prejudice, and the basic development of her character is governed by the question of whether she will emerge from that contact with her conscience and optimism intact or whether she will be bruised, hurt, or destroyed like Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. Thanks to Atticus’s wisdom, Scout learns that though humanity has a great capacity for evil, it also has a great capacity for good, and that the evil can often be mitigated if one approaches others with an outlook of sympathy and understanding. Scout’s development into a person capable of assuming that outlook marks the culmination of the novel and indicates that, whatever evil she encounters, she will retain her conscience without becoming cynical or jaded. Though she is still a child at the end of the book, Scout’s perspective on life develops from that of an innocent child into that of a near grown-up.
