As people grow in life, the change and mature. In the novel. To Kill a Mockingbird ,by Harper Lee, Scout, the main character, matures as the book continues. Slowly, Scout learns to control her temper, to back away from fights, and to respect Calpurnia. She really learns her value to the family. Scout changes because she matures ane she also listens to her father a lot.
             In the early chapters of the book, scout picks a fight with the slightest problem. One example is when she beats up Walter Cunningham, one of her classmates, for not having his lunch. This is a very immature reason for beating up somebody.
