Also, this shows courage because if she didn’t stand up to her the mob would’ve been 10 times worse and it takes courage to stand up to any adult when she was still a kid. A quote for this is “Do you remember me Mr. Cunningham?”(Lee 205) this shows courage because it shows that scout is using a kind of guilt thing to make Mr. Cunningham stop the mob and tell everyone to go home that takes a lot of courage to stand up to a mob like that and to talk to the leader of it when he is 2 or more feet tall.
