 * Character Analysis**
 * Character Sketch:**

Courage: Scout, although a young girl, shows courage that someone here age would not show. An example of when Scout is being courageous is when she decides to be the lookout for Jem when he is trying to put the note in Boo Radley’s shutter (Chapter 5, Page 46-47). “I.. gazed around the curve at the empty road. Occasionally looking back at Jem…” (Page. 48). Scout is really showing courage by being the lookout and being able to stand on the street and lookout for her brother.

Protective: After Jem lost his pants at the Radley’s, he had to go back and get them because he didn’t want to get caught. When Scout found out about this plan, she didn’t want him to go. She is very protective of her older brother by not wanting him to get hurt or in trouble. “Look it an’t worth it, Jem. A lickin’ hurts but it doesn’t last. You’ll get your heat shot off, Jem. Please….” (page. 56).Scout really shows how protective she is towards Jem.


 * Theme**:

Caring: Scout and Jem are really looking out for each other through the book. This is shows during the fire in chapter 8 when Ms. Maudie's how was on fire. When it was freezing cold and the kids were watching the fire, “Jem tried to keep [scout] warm…” (page. 71). Another example of the kids being caring is when Scout found out about the fire. Jem put his arm around her and comforted her by saying “Hush, Scout, It ain’t time to worry yet…” (page. 69). This shows his caring side towards his little sister.
