Scout Flashcards
Battles

Tyrannical
‘I had felt her tyrannical presence for as long as I could remember.’
Asked
‘I asked Dill where his father was…Is he dead?’
Advised
‘As Atticus had once advised me to do, I tried to climb into Jem’s skin and walk round in it…So I left Jem and tried not to bother him.’
Hiding Place
‘Don’t take it Jem…This is somebody’s hidin’-place…Somebody like Walter Cunningham comes down here every recess and hides his things - and we come along and take ‘em away from him.’
Impression
‘Somewhere, I had received the impression that Fine Folk were people who did the best they could with the sense they had’
Calling WC Trash
‘It was her callin’ Walter Cunningham trash that got me goin’, Jem, not what she said about me being a problem to Atticus.’
Folks
‘I think there’s just one kind of folks. Folks.’
Shooting
‘Well, it’d be sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird, wouldn’t it?
Lead
‘I would lead him through our house, but I would never lead him home.’
Real Nice
‘Atticus, when they finally saw him, why he hadn’t done any of those things…Atticus, he was real nice..’ ‘Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them.’
