Scout

I am Confident, no matter what

Find Life quite different, own views on things
Our families moral, you know your licked before you begin
You begin anyway

Atticus said, What she's got in store, these next few months
He taught me to, try fighting with your head for a change
To see what real courage is
Keep those fist down, Use your mind
Be the bravest person
It ain't right
You rarely win
I thought, all men are created equal
Standin up, I aint going
It aint right
The man is trash
See what real courage is
Its time we all did

The first 9 lines of the poem are there to represent who Scout is as a person and what she has been taught. The first few quotes is how she sees society or fits in to it. She sees things differently and isn't afraid. The next few parts is telling about what she has learned and how Atticus has shaped her. The last 8 lines are telling about her feelings during the biggest part of the book, the trial. She finds it unfair and in the book they show how children are the best at the way they approach things. It is because they don't exactly see color yet. They know how the system works but they don't see color like adults would. So it explains how Scout finds the ruling unfair and how her family reacts as well.
