What memories of your own childhood come to mind as you read Scout’s experiences?

As I read about Scout's experiences, I recall the times where all we had to do was to go to school, learn simple ABC, have fun, get back home, have fun, take a shower, have dinner, play again and go to sleep; that simple. Back then, life was so much more carefree; not worries at all. Perhaps the only worry we had back then was which toy to buy, which show to watch. However, seeing Scout's experiences, I could see that Scout's maturity level was growing at a much faster pace then I had, learning about issues of prejudice and discrimination at the young age of 7 to 9. However, nonetheless, looking at Scout's experience during summertime, where she just laze around all day doing nothing, similar to what we did when we are toddlers and when she was in school, where her level of curiosity was very high, questioning at every single question she had in mind.
