Scout Finch Reflection
Jean Louise Finch is an incredible young lady who has experienced events that no other elementary child should experience. From being mistreated by her first grade teacher to getting attacked by an old trashy man, Jean Louise, or Scout, has been through it all.

The only time my older brother would want to be seen with me was when his friends would come up to me and ask if I was his younger sister. My older brother would be so proud to be my sibling because all of his friends thought I was a smaller version of him. Of course being the little evil, cute, princess I was, I told his friends the nasty things he does at home. “You know he picks his nose and puts his
