Scout Finch is a spunky young girl who is extremely smart for her age, yet still maintains her innocence. There are some things she doesn't understand but she makes up for that with her willingness to fight anyone and everyone. Scout also has high spirits and she possesses a defiantly determined attitude.

Skip to these times in the movie:

1.01.10-1.01.40
1.17.13-1.17.35

These quotes are important because they show how much Scout will give to protect her family. Even with her obvious childhood innocence she will do anything to protect the ones she loves and their names.

“Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing" (Lee 22)

This quote is Scout's take on "you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone." She compares reading with breathing. By doing this she subtly proclaims that reading was something she couldn't live without. She needed to read because it kept her alive. When it was taken away she felt as if she was dying, as dramatic as that sounds.

“It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived" (Lee 105).

This quote is important because it shows Scout maturing from being an innocent child because a child would think bravery is being strong and and better than everyone, and here it shows her acknowledging that bravery isn't strength or being good with guns, but standing up for one's beliefs.

“by watching her I began to think there was some skill involved in being a girl" (Lee 118).

This quote is significant because it showcases a small turning point in Scout's maturity. Her innocence was still present, but through exposure to a "mother figure," courtesy of Calpurnia, she began realizing the responsibilities that as a young lady, she was expected to fulfill.

“Well, in the first place you never stopped to gimme a chance to tell you my side of it—you just lit right into me. When Jem an’ I fuss Atticus doesn’t ever just listen to Jem’s side of it."(Lee 118)

This quote shows that even though Scout is clueless at some times she understands generally how decency and fairness works. This also connects to the case and shows how you should always look at both sides of a story so you know the big picture.

“I said I would like it very much, which was a lie, but one must lie under certain circumstances and at all times when one can’t do anything about them.”(Lee 115)

This quote is also important in showing Scout growing up because she is realizing that sometimes one must lie to others as to not offend them or cause trouble that will amount to no gain.

Fans of "Community" might have recognized a shout-out to Scout Finch in the episode "Paranormal Parentage," when the group of friends gets together for a costume party. Britta, played by Gillian Jacobs, is dressed as a ham — just like Scout's famous costume in the "To Kill a Mockingbird" movie. (LA Times 46 times TKAM was echoed through pop culture)

A reference to the book shows up in the "30 Rock" episode "Murphy Brown Lied to Us," when Liz Lemon meets a smart, independent young girl who's trying to get her classmates to call her "Scout."(LA Times 46 times TKAM was echoed through pop culture)

I think this picture really catches Scout's personality by visually showing her tomboyish and spitfire attitude.
