How does Scout show courage in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Answer 1

Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" spotlights two children who form their character growing up in the racially charged deep south. Jem's fear of disappointing his father, in anyway, causes him to never challenge his authority. This is a form of necessary cowardice since he can't become his own man unless he is willing to challenge his father's rules. However, he shows incredible courage when he disobeys his father for the first time as he stands with him before a huge, blood-thirsty and menacing mob that could easily kill them both. Scout above all fears Boo Radley and the mystique that surrounds the Radley family and home.
