In chapter 2 Scout finds herself in unfamiliar territory on her first day at school. Her teacher, Miss Caroline Fisher is immediately disaprovent of Scout, as her literacy is said to conflict with Miss Fisher’s new teaching style of the Dewey Decimal system. At lunch time, Miss Caroline tries to lend money to a student named Walter Cunningham, but the boy declines as he is unable to pay him back. This is explained by Scout to the teacher, causing her a deal of embarrassment. We also learn that Miss Caroline is not well respected by her fellow colleagues as other teachers interact with her in a irreverent manner.

You really seem to have the measure of Ms Caroline – well inferred. Well done.
Target:
Use a supporting quotation, there are plenty of comments that Jem makes about Ms Caroline, Scout too. How might your quotations reflect the maturity of our protagonist?
