How does Harper Lee using Scout as the narrator affect our understanding of the events in the novel?
He using a child's perspective to an adult problem and letting the child show why things have to be the way they are just because the people of that age and time believe in a certain way. That things are Iron clad no matter if the man is innocent, how could a white person be wrong. The child wonders why the adults just won't believe the defendant, Tom and why they believe the battered girl who has been harassed by her father to lie about the bruises she has because of his drunken rage.
The child also learns the respect that the ***** people have for Aticus
Finch
by waiting until he leaves court and standing
up as he passes by. They don't feel the same way about Aticus
Finch as a white person would feel about a black person no matter what amount of good that black person would do. The child wonders why the grown ups just have set perceptions about things in life and the way they make up their mind not to change anything because it is what it is. Just like the neighbor that the child overall learns to trust and offer comfort to making up her own mind instead of taking prejudice advice from ignorant adults who until this day and age some have not changed their ways.
Certain people will always have certain opinions and these children of Aticus
Finch are smart and have made up their own mind as to what is right and what is wrong and how to go about doing it and believing it for themselves even if the old fashioned grown ups will never change their superior minds. All of those people in that town believed that that man was guilty and the other man crazy just because they never took the time to actually find out why because it was more convenient to have an easy blame than to change the ways of a wicked man who abused his daughter or a misunderstood harmless man who never hurt a sole. The children were brave enough to come to their own conclusions as most of us Americans should do today. We should be leaders instead of followers and think before accepting..
The story possibly could have change with the results being more adamant if they were told from an adult prospective.
