In this story, Scout proves that one person can make a huge difference, and can touch the lives of many by having courage and not worrying about what other people think. The beautiful thing about children is that they often don’t care about other opinions and they do and say what they know or at least think they know to be right. Adults have gotten this idea that they can’t do this or that because other people might judge them or it could draw unwanted attention. Having this attitude diminishes confidence that is needed in order to make a change. “‘Mr. Arthur, bend your arm down here, like that. That’s right, sir.’ I slipped my hand into the crook of his arm.” (Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird, pg. 372). Scout doesn’t care what the other people in the small town of Maycomb think of Boo Radley; she views him as a friend and someone who deserves to be respected. Scout does many things like this throughout the book where she goes against what is ordinary, starting with her love of overalls and being a tomboy despite the wishes of her Aunt Alexandra and the actions of many other “ordinary” girls in Maycomb.
In conclusion, Scout is one of the finest characters in Harper Lee’s, To Kill a Mockingbird for numerous reasons including her humor, inspiration, wit, and intelligence. Readers create a friendship and bond with her and feel respect for the amazing things that she does. Scout has influenced giant subjects like racism that even adults are afraid to tamper with. She has the impressive confidence to do what she wants to do, and is an example of determination and grit. She is clearly amazing because all of her traits have been picked up or learned from the second best character in this novel: Atticus
