contrast the difference in the way that jem and scout treated walter ; what does this show about the differance between them at this point in the novel

At this point in the novel, Scout is beating Walter up because he got her started on the wrong foot at school. Scout has a deep moral code but it is yet undeveloped and she expresses herself in her scrappy precocious way. Jem is more refined and understands Walter and the situation in a more realistic way.
