In Harper Lees To Kill a scoffer Sc step to the fore learns about respect and forgiveness and how important they are to select a good life. Through the characterization of Scout as a teenaged girl who learns about the feeling of others, Lee demonstrates that pot need to learn compassion and respect to under radix the feelings of others.When Reverend Sykes tells Scout to radical up when her father passes, it illustrates the respect that the blacks have for Atticus. After Atticus loses the political campaign and leaves the courtroom all the blacks in the balcony stand, but Scout doesnt. Reverend Sykes tells her, fall back Jean Louise, stand up. Your fathers passin (211). Scout does not stand for her father because she does not say what is happening. The blacks are standing to show t heir prize towards Atticus and how he act so hard to win the trail.Even though Atticus lost the trial they still feel so appreciative for how hard he tried to win the case and how he changed peoples minds. Scout learns respect for her father for how hard he tried to do the right thing.

Jem tells her because they dont bother you (238). Scout does not apprehend why Jem does not want her to kill the bug because she is too young and ignorant.Jem tells her not to because he understands life and how its not bothering you and its just peaceful. Even though Scout still does not understand she still lets it out on the back porch. People need to learn compassion and respect to understand the meaning of others, like Sco ut and the roly-poly and Scout and the courtroom with Atticus. This root is important because it shows that people in life need to learn compassion and respect to understand others in life, if people went around just doing what they cherished and not thinking about the people and things around them, then the mankind would be a totally different place.
