What are some quotes from scout?

Answer 1

"Somwhere, I had received the impression that Fine Folks were people who did the best they could with the sense they had, but Aunt Alexandra was of the opinion, obliquely expressed, that the longer a family had been squatting on one patch of land the finer it was."

Answer 2

Jean Louise Finch is best known to everyone as "Scout". She is the one who tells the entire story of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and how everything happened from her point of view. Here are some quotes by her:-- "Jem is up in a tree, he said he won't come down until you agree to play football with the Methodists."--(about Jem) "You can pet him, Mr. Arthur. He's asleep. Couldn't if he was awake, though; he wouldn't let you. Go ahead."-- "Well, it would be sort of like shooting a mockingbird, wouldn't it? "-- â??No, everybody's gotta learn, nobody's born knowin'. That Walter's as smart as he can be, he just gets held back sometimes because he has to stay out and help his daddy. Nothin's wrong with him. Naw, Jem, I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks.â?? -- "'I asked him [Atticus] if I was a problem and he said not much of one, at most one he could always figure out, and not to worry my head a second about botherin' him.'"

Answer 3

"If there's one kind of folks, why can't they get along with each other? If they're all alike, why do they go out of their way to despise one another? Scout I think I'm beginning to understand something. I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in his house all this time. It's because he wants to stay inside."

"A lady? After all those things she said about you, a lady?"

"I swear Scout; sometimes you act so much like a girl its mortifying."

"I cleaned it for her and said I was sorry, but I ain't, and that I'd work on them every Saturday and try to make them grow back out."

Answer 4

"Atticus says cheating a black man is ten times worse than cheating a white."

"There goes the meanest man that ever took a breath of life. "

"Well, for one thing, he has a boy named Boo that he keeps chained to a bed in the house over yonder. Boo only comes out at night when you're asleep and it's pitch-dark. When you wake up at night, you can hear him. Once I heard him scratchin' on our screen door, but he was gone by the time Atticus got there. "

"Well, judgin' from his tracks, he's about six and a half feet tall. He eats raw squirrels and all the cats he can catch. There's a long, jagged scar that runs all the way across his face. His teeth are yella and rotten. His eyes are popped. And he drools most of the time. "

Answer 5

Scout Finch was curious. She says, and I quote, "If you shouldn't be defending him, then why are you doing it?" She was also sentimental which is proven in the last line that says "I was to think of these days many times."

Answer 6

Scout Finch

Before you make up your mind about Scout, you should remember that the voice we hear narrating the story is actually that of the grownup Scout - Jean Louise Finch - looking back on events that happened years earlier. Some of the opinions and ideas expressed in the novel are really those of the older Jean Louise. You should judge Scout by her actions and quoted words in the story, keeping these separate from the opinions of the narrator.

Originally named Jean Louise Finch, Scout is the narrator. In the story she is looking back as an adult to the two years of her life when she learned about courage and kindness and the importance of doing what is right. She learned from her father and her neighbours that doing what is right isn't always rewarded, but it's the right thing to do and that protecting innocence is a large part of that.

Jean Louise Finch, whose nickname is Scout, is only five-and-a-half years old when the novel begins, but she is already a complex and interesting personality. Her habit of speaking her mind in the presence of grownups makes Scout often seem older than her years. In recalling her first day in the first grade, Scout thinks of herself and her schoolmates as little adults, who must take care of the confused first-year teachers. Later, when she is unjustly punished for getting into a fight with a cousin, Scout takes it upon herself to explain to her uncle why his methods of handling children are wrong. After these incidents we are only mildly surprised when Scout is able to find the right words to turn away a lynch mob that has come to kill Tom Robinson.

Scout is also something of an outsider. A tomboy, she is still not completely accepted by her brother Jem and their friend Dill. We never hear of her having any close friends her own age, either boys or girls. And in contrast to Jem, who is constantly disappointed by the shortcomings of human nature, Scout seems to take bad news in stride.
