Among the things that Scout
learns:
- She finds that her much anticipated
school days are highly disappointing. - She finds that her
teachers are mystifying (Miss Caroline) and, in Miss Gates' case,
hyprocritical. - She discovers that many things said by
adults (ex: the rumors about Boo) are untrue. - She finds
that supposed ladies do not always act in a ladylike manner (ex: the missionary
circle). - She sees that justice is not always served (ex:
the jury's guilty verdict in the Tom Robinson trial). - She
sees racism and bigotry first-hand. - She sees that her own
beliefs are not always accurate (ex: Atticus being "feeble" and having no
talents). - She recognizes that her behavior concerning the
Boo Radley game and the children's attempts to draw Boo out were only invasions of his
privacy. - She sees the evil that is evident in man (ex:
Bob Ewell).
