Scout arranged things so that “if Miss Stephanie Crawford was watching from her upstairs window, she would see Arthur Radley escorting [her] down the sidewalk, as any gentleman would do.” Why did she do that?
Scout now understands that Arthur Radley is a real person, not a freak and wants him to look “normal” so everyone will think he is too.
As Scout leaves the Radley porch, she looks out at the neighborhood and recounts the events of the last few years from the Radleys’ perspective. Why is that important?
Taking Atticus’ advice and putting themselves in someone else’s shoes, looking at things from someone else’s perspective.
