grows up and
extends her education outside of the classroom as the novel progresses. First, Scout sees the
hypocrisy in life. Scout's teacher is upset becausetaught his daughter to read. The teacher
cautions her against this, because he is not a teacher. Obviously, her father is an educated
man, and the fact that Scout is ahead of the others should point to his effectiveness. But,
Scout's teacher believes learning should take place only within the
classroom.
Scout learns that her childish games were hurtful to , and learns
that it is important not to pass judgement on someone without knowing the facts or the person.
She learns that justice is a concept that is not always carried out. The unfairness of life is
apparent to her, when she learns that the color of ones skin causes one to have fewer
rights.
The outcome of the trial showed her the reality of this knowledge, but
it also showed her the necessity of fighting the injustice of racial inequity. Scout learns to
see her father as more than just her dad, but as a man of integrity. That much in life is not as
it seems.
