In Harper Lee's novel, "To Kill A Mocking Bird" you see that maturation of some of the characters is clearly evident, particularly Scouts. You see this by the way she acts in front of Miss Maudie, Calpurnia and Mrs. Alexandra Finch.

Beside her father, Scout respects and likes most Miss Maudie. They have a great relationship and they both love each other very deeply. When Scout first introduce us to Miss Maudie (in chapter 5), she tells us all the nicest things about her. She talks about how much she and Jem trusted Miss Maudie and what a good friend she was. They trusted her because "she never told on them, never played cat-and-mouse with them, and because she was not at all interested in their private lives", (pg. 44-45) unlike most Maycomb people. This is also why Scout respected Miss Maudie so much and why she told her, "Miss Maudie, you are the best lady I know" (page 45) . Miss Maudie always made cakes for Scout, Jem and Dill, and she invited them over to eat them and also to play in her backyard. One summer, Scout spent the whole second half of the summer with Miss Maudie. They sat in the front porch, watched the sunset, talked, and took care of Miss Maudie's garden. That is when Scout became very close to Miss Maudi


e. Scout admired Miss Maudie. Miss Maudie was her hero.

Throughout the novel, Atticus repeats to Scout an Jem the importance of seeing things from another point of view in order to understand what the other person is feeling. The theme of childhood is also another important one. The story takes place over a period of years, and the reader takes part in the adventure of the child growing up in a small Southern town. To Kill A Mocking Bird is a fascinating story about a young girl who sees the town through her little innocent eyes, this novel is a must for everyone to read because it displays racial tensions that are throughout out the town especially the citizens.

Another reason why Scout did not like Calpurnia is because she made her practice writing. Then, when Scout's teacher in grade one found out that Scout can read, she got in trouble and blamed Calpurnia. At that time, she was too young to understand that Calpurnia only tried to help her and teach her so she would be literate and know more useful things. Even though this seems like a negative relationship and seems as if though it can never get better, the relationship between Scout and Calpurnia changes through the novel.

There is, however, because of this, a positive side to this relationship. Scout does respect Calpurnia, partly because she has to - she is her nanny and she takes care of her, and partly because she simply likes some of Cal's characteristics. Scout likes Calpurnia because "she has more education than most colored folks" (page 24) and to Scout and the whole Finch family education is very important. She also likes her because Cal is not a racist and she is very protectiv
