In this essay you will be informed about Jean Louise Finch, or otherwise known as Scout, after reading this essay you will understand her physical description, conflicts, courage and emotional moments discussed in the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. Scout is just a simple and straightforward boy. She wears dirty, very scruffy overalls, has bangs and, like most tomboys, hates wearing dresses. This was just to talk a little about her physically, you will find more about her behavior by reading the following paragraphs. There are moments in this book that show conflict between Scout and other characters. An example of conflict is between Scout and Cecil Jacob, a classmate. This conflict concerns his father, Atticus, Cecil said that Atticus was a lover of niggers. The same conflict came up again, but this time it was between Scout and Francis, her cousin, regarding her father, Atticus, being a lover of niggers, this conflict started on page 83-86. A portion of this is given below (page 86):'"What did Francis [Atticus] call him?"."A lover of niggers...."'Another conflict was with an old lady, Mrs. Dubose, this conflict was started by Mrs. Dubose, she had started this problem because she had been annoying Scout for no reason, Scout hated her, this hatred is shown on page 99. It is stated below:'"Jem and I hated her[Mrs. Dubose].”'So after Scout found out the reason why Mrs. Dubose was always irritable, the reason was that she was sick and taking morphine. Scout is also an extremely courageous character. Since I told you about Cecil Jacobs' conflict you might think, "What an idiot!!" Scout does too and wants to make him eat a knuckle sandwich! The amazing and courageous part is that she has never given up fighting in her life, but now she does so because Atticus told her not to listen and, above all, not to react. So she is not reacting because of her love for Atticus but is taking the hit, letting them call her and her father names. I call this being a courageous human being. This drama is shown on pages 75-77. I took an example from pages 76-77:'"Will you take it back, boy [Cecil Jacobs]?"'"You must make me first!' .... "My parents say...." I pointed my finger at him, remembered what Atticus had said, then put my fists down and walked away, "Scout is a coward!" ringing in my ears.
