Flustered the men
Scout's childish attempts at conversation serve to highlight her innocence and curiosity about the world around her. Through her interactions, she often exposes the ignorance and prejudice of the adults in her life, prompting deeper discussions about morality and social justice. Additionally, her naivety juxtaposes the complexities of adult issues, emphasizing the novel's themes of growth and understanding. Ultimately, these conversations reflect her journey towards maturity and awareness.
Scout's attempt at conversation outside the jail helps to diffuse tension and break the seriousness of the situation. Her innocent questions serve as a distraction and provide a moment of levity amidst the growing crowd's anger and fear. Additionally, Scout's innocence highlights the injustice and prejudice present in the adult world.
I LOVE this book - but the question was asked in the wrong interest area - so I changed it to a more appropriate venue.
Scout tries to be polite and start a conversation with Mr. Cunningham, and it makes him see through Atticus's point of view. Mr. Cunningham has a son (Walter Cunningham) that's Scout's age.

Scout's polite conversation about one of the son's having lunch at her house and a one-sided discussion of "entailments" diffuses the mob anger and makes the men feel ashamed to be threatening Scout's father.
Scout has stopped believing in childish superstitions that her, jem and dill all believed in. She now has things figured out about racism and the things that went on in the 1930's. Atticus greatly helped her with this task.
Scout is acting "like a girl". Simply because jem is becoming older and is begining to drift away from the childish things they used to do together.

Scout interrupts the confrontation in "To Kill a Mockingbird" because she recognizes that the situation has escalated and that her father, Atticus, is in a tense and potentially dangerous situation. Her innocent attempt to engage Mr. Cunningham in conversation reflects her childlike perspective and desire to diffuse the tension. By addressing Mr. Cunningham personally, she humanizes him and reminds him of their past connection, ultimately helping to de-escalate the conflict. This moment highlights Scout's innocence and the impact of empathy in resolving conflict.
