Scout Flashcards
Scout on Mrs Gates hypocrisy.
“How can you hate Hitler so bad and then turn around and be ugly about folks right at home?”
Scout on equality.
“I think there’s just one kind of folks. Folks.”
Scout’s faith in Atticus at the end of the novel.
“He would be there all night and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning.”
Scout feeling guilty about her previous treatment of Boo.
“Boo was our neighbor….but neighbors give in return…we had given him nothing, and it made me sad.”
Scout realising Boo had put a blanket around her.
“My stomach turned to water and I nearly threw up.”
Atticus to Jack on Scout’s character.
“Scout’d just as soon jump on someone as look at him if her pride’s at stake.”
Scout believing the majority opinion must be the right one.
“Atticus, you must be wrong….” “How’s that?” “Well, most folks seem to think they’re right and you’re wrong….”
Scout’s changing opinions on femininity when watching Calpurnia.
“…by watching her [Cal] I began to think there was some skill involved in being a girl.”
Scout realising being a woman was a brave thing.
“If Aunty could be a lady at a time like this, so could I.”
Scout’s fear of being a lady.
“I felt the starched walls of a pink cotton…and for the second time in my life I thought of running away. Immediately.”
Scout learning from Atticus and feeling empathy to Boo at the end of the novel.
“Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough.”
