scouts dad, atticus says she must put herself in somebody elses shoes before she judges them
scout starts to not judge people and starts to think differnetly. before she would judge eveyrone now she doesnt! hoed i helped!
hewres the quote:
You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view . . . until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.
This important snippet of conversation from Chapter 3 finds Atticus giving Scout the crucial piece of moral advice that governs her development for the rest of the novel. The simple wisdom of Atticus’s words reflects the uncomplicated manner in which he guides himself by this sole principle. His ability to relate to his children is manifested in his restatement of this principle in terms that Scout can understand (“climb into his skin and walk around in it”). Scout struggles, with varying degrees of success, to put Atticus’s advice into practice and to live with sympathy and understanding toward others. At the end of the book, she succeeds in comprehending Boo Radley’s perspective, fulfilling Atticus’s advice in Chapter 3 and providing the novel with an optimistic ending despite the considerable darkness of the plot.

Scout is only six years old, so she doesn't mature into an adult.
She learns to be more loving and accepting of people. Her father admonishes her for making fun of her guest at the table. She recognizes the prejudice practiced against a black man accused of rape.
The character Scout is the author, Harper Lee, as a child. One of the other characters is Truman Capote as a child.
The book and movie are excellent. If you are reading the book please pay close attention to what the author is saying. The movie is also worth viewing.
She also learns that a retarded adult, known as Boo Radley, is a human being--one with enough love inside him to save her life. This is probably the single strongest message of the novel and movie. Radley saves both Scout and her brother and kills the man who is trying to kill them.
My impression is that this lesson doesn't sink in until later when Scout is older.

The Protagonist Scout matures because she similar to her brother has realised that the town that she lives in really isnt all that good. The town is full of gossip folk and also there are alot of prejeduce throughout the town. Boo Radley stays inside all day because the town is always judging him. Hope that Helped!

Scout would be great as a middle name. That way one can call her that throughout her childhood then she has a more adult name for when she grows up. Olivia Scout will do nicely.
