Prompt: Describe the similarities and differences between the main character and you.
Pages Read: Finished

          Scout and I, are two almost completely different people, and I don't really think it's a bad thing. I honestly think that Scout and I would never be in the same category as each other, personality-wise, though there are some things that make us alike. But just a small amount.

          There are only a few categories that Scout and I are both in. One being that I'm 13, she's 11 and 8. We're still kind of in our child hood. We're both pretty immature, I honestly think that Scout might be more mature then I am. Sure, she cries about a lot of things, which, I think, is her most immature characteristic, but she understands adults. She understands a lot of things. I also understood, though the only reason I did understand was because of Scout making everything more obvious for the reader. There was a point in time where Atticus stated that Scout wouldn't understand the situation, though she did. She even responded in a way that completely showed her understanding of the situation, making it so the reader would also understand.

          In a situation, where Mr. Tate and Atticus were arguing over what exactly happened in Mr. Ewell's death, she replied to Atticus saying, "Well, it'd be sort of like shootin' a mockingbird, wouldn't it?" Even then, I had to repeat that sentence, that quote, several times to understand where the conversation was headed, and what the conversation meant. Though I know that she's a fictional character. That she shares the same information as Atticus and Heck Tate do because she was created by Harper Lee, if you think of her as a real person, she's pretty smart. Though I can see some moments where her amount of information wasn't realistic, her overall personality and knowledge seemed to be consistent. So we're both of the same age, though I honestly think that our mentality is quite different from each other, Scout being a tiny bit more knowledgeable then I am.

          As I said before, there are many categories that Scout and I are different in. Many categories. Though I can't have my blog be 15 pages long, or even a bit more so I deem it logical that I name only the most important differences. Also, I already have stated one major difference in the previous paragraphs.

          Scout and I are different, in general. I don't agree with some of the things she does, I know that she wouldn't agree at all with the majority of the things that I do and that's why we're different, because we're human beings. To me, if I put Scout in a scenario where she's one of my classmates, a person who I meet daily, I would just think of her as a friend. She would be like Carlos or Nikolas from my class, whom are very different from me. Scout would be just like them.

          Scout and I are not polar opposites. We can't be characterized as foils of each other because, well, I don't believe that there are people whom are completely alike or complete contrasts of each other. I don't believe it's possible. Scout would just be a regular person, like everyone else around me.
