In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Scout thinks she is being put into a pink penitentiary because Aunt Alexandra wants her to become a fine Southern lady, being feminine, wearing dresses, being interested in boys, and demonstrating fine manners. However Scout, being a tomboy, resists these views because she has much more of her fun outdoors and playing with Dill and Jem. This is ironic because most people wouldn't view a prison as pink, but would view it in dull colors, such as dirty gray and brown, but Scout, having such a dislike for femininity, including prissy colors like pink, imagines her prison in pink.

Do Samoan girl scout cookies come from Samoa?

NoWith respect to the person asking this question and all those that will view it, I honestly do not think it came from Samoa. In essence, I think "Samoan girl scout cookies" was considered because there is coconut in it being sold by little girls. The Girl Scout is now popular and adding a little bit of culture in there would help in spreading the word out about girl scout and not only that the cookies. The cookies by the way, are really good.
