The Women of Scout Finch's Childhood

“If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-”. The women of Scout Finch's life are: Miss Caroline, Miss.Maudie, and Aunt Alexandrea. We can see from these characters actions that even thought Scout doesn't have a mother, she does have important female figures that are willing to help guid her through life. Each woman helps raise Scout in their own way. From Mrs.Caroline, scout learns that teachers are here to help us, even though they aren't always kind in their ways. From Aunt Alexandra, Scout learns the mindset to becoming a lady, Aunt Alexandra also taught Scout about the Finch's family history. From Miss.Maudie, Scout learned about her father, and that it is a sin to kill a mocking bird.

Miss Caroline helps scout throughout her childhood by ways that scout doesn't realize. For example scout said, "As I read the alphabet a faint line appeared between her eyebrows, and after making me read most of My First Reader and the stock-market quotations from The Mobile Register aloud, she discovered that I was literate and looked at me with more than faint distaste." Scout learns about Miss Caroline's personality. Miss Caroline is Scout’s young first-grade teacher who gets on Scout’s bad side by telling her that she can’t read with Atticus anymore because he doesn’t know how to teach scout. She also whips Scout on the first day of school because she misunderstands when Scout tells her that Walter Cunningham is poor and that’s why he doesn’t have a lunch. but you’ll see—school’s different.”

"Miss Maudie’s benevolence extended to Jem and Dill, whenever they paused in their pursuits" this taught Scout that you should always strive to be kind.

Miss Maudie, Aunt Alexandra, and Miss Caroline are a few of the most important women in Scouts life as a child. Without her mother, Scout has to look to other people for advice.
