How does Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird show two sides?
That the young narrator of To Kill a Mockingbird goes by the nickname “Scout” is very appropriate. In the story, Scout functions as both questioner and observer. Scout asks tough questions, certainly questions that aren’t “politically correct,” but she can ask these questions because she is a child. As a child, Scout doesn’t understand the full implication of the things happening around her, making her an objective observer and a reporter in the truest sense.
