Jean Loise the Noble one

 

            Jean Louise Finch, more commonly known as Scout, shows tremendous types of comparisons and contrasts in the two different dimensional lives of school and home. From the beginning of the book, even more specifically from the first line, Scout shows her knowledge of being educated at a higher level than others. As the story goes on, the reader learns that Scout can read and has a broad vocabulary for her young age. Lessons Scout learns at her school are very different than what she learns at home; still, there is one thing that connects the dots between them. This line is the lesson for humanity. At school, experience's with other school mates such as those of Walter Cunningham show Scout, in that case, Scout witnesses the difference in the system that the Cunningham's follow, when Walter refuses to accept the quarter from Miss Caroline. Through this she learns about how other people have different ideas about the way things are to be done. Then at home after Walter leaves their home, Atticus teaches her lessons of patience and respecting other's rights. He also teaches her to deal with people such as the Cunningham's. "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" (Lee 32). Here Atticus explains to Scout that a person's heart and personality is what make them who they are and it is her job to find that. Reading between the lines Atticus also gives the word skin to show even their skin colour does not matter. Here Harper Lee compares Scout's lessons she learns in the classroom and at home. Thus, Harper Lee also shows the comparisons and contrasts of school life to normal life in the 1930's.
