To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee starts with Scout describing her older brother Jem after he broke his arm , which is after the end of the book. After flashback starts the reader realizes Scout is young when it all starts. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee as Scout’s perspective matures as she gets older allowing her to see people different than before.

The first way Scout's perspective matures is her way of seeing Calpurnia. When Scout is first describing her family she states “ (Cal) had been with us ever since I could remember “ (6). By this she means that Cal was there , being the cook , as a part of the family. Scout thinks of Cal as an annoying older sister. But then she changes . Later in the book , when Jem and her are with Cal at Cal’s church , she thinks “ If I had ever thought about it , I would have known that Calpurnia was of mature years - Zeebo (Cal’s son) had half grown children - but then I had never thought about it “ ( 125 ). This means she had never thought about Cal’s life when she wasn’t at there house before now. And this is where she shows she has matured slightly , just enough to notice the difference in Cal she hadn’t seen before.

The next way Scout’s perspective matures is her view of Atticus. When first describing Atticus she says he is “ satisfactory “ (6) and that “ he treated ( them ) with courteous detachment “ (6). Essentially she is describing him as ok . This shows she loves him, but does not like him. Later in the book though she starts to notice a difference in him. On the day Atticus shoots the rabid dog , Scout goes to miss Maudie’s and miss Maudie says to her “ Still ashamed of ( Atticus ) now “ (98) and Scout says back “nome “ (98). Meaning Scout  now

knows there is more to Atticus than she thinks. By noticing this she is maturing and sees Atticus as a more interesting man.

The final and most important way Scout's perspective changes is with Boo Radley. During the beginning of the book , Scout refers to Boo by saying “ The radley place was inhabited by an unknown entity the mere description was enough to keep us in check “ (6). When saying this she is referring to boo as an inhumane entity. She also mean he is a monster. Then in the end of the book she when Boo is watching over Jem she describes him as “ (he) leaned forward and looked over Jem. An look of timid curiosity came over him ” (277). By this she is giving him human attributes and thinking of him as human. Which shows her maturity.

In these three paragraphs Scout’s perspective matures letting her see people different then before. Although these are only three people , Scout will continue to mature and see people different because that is the way Scout of To Kill a Mockingbird is.
