Scout, as depicted in the story, is seen as a young child, learning from the actions of Atticus and her maturing brother. Lee's adult perspective enters into Scout' s descriptions and comments through Scout's young, yet insightful mind. The author's adult perspective is seen as Scout, young and bewildered, comes to discern certain aspects of life, confounding to her but understood as possible as a young mind can decipher. Thus, a blend of prematurity and Harper Lee's adult perspective is delineated though Scout"s character.
