To Kill a Mockingbird Forum

I need some guidance on finishing my essay on Scout...I have several good ideas but am having trouble putting them together. Any suggestions?

Talk about how her personality changes as a result of her experiences. For example, early on she is overly candid, asking Walter what the Sam Hill he is doing pouring syrup on his dinner. Later she learns to clam up, as when Atticus asks how she will like having Alexandra live with them and she lies by saying she would like it very much. Another example is her treatment of Calpurnia. Early on she hates Cal, but at the Missionary Society meeting, she is careful not to get her dress dirty so that Cal will not have to wash it before Sunday.
