If I were Scout, I would be very proud to have Atticus for a father and Jem for a brother. I would also be proud of myself for being able to read and write before beginning school. Scout's experience with her Uncle Jack shows that she has learned a lot from her father's actions. When Uncle Jack punishes her for calling her cousin a name without asking her side of the story, she points out to him very clearly that he did not treat her fairly. Scout knows at an early age that people should be treated fairly.

I think it would also be hard to be in Scout's shoes. She is a tomboy who loves to play outside with her brother and Dill and does not want to act like a lady. Jem is constantly saying that she acts like a girl when she is hesitant to go along with something she thinks is not right. From my perspective, it would be hard to be a girl with so many expectations about how girls should act. I would feel somewhat confined by my surroundings.
