It can also perpetuate stereotypes and false beliefs.

Boo has helped Scout change her viewpoint from thinking that he’s a scary person who always stays inside to finding out that he actually cares about her and chooses to live inside because he prefers to stay where he can observe what’s going on in the town and protect people when needed, which helps teach Scout that you can’t assume things without knowing the facts. Scout starts out believing that Boo is a mean person who is out to her her and she quickly learns that Boo’s intentions aren’t to hurt her, but rather help her when she needs it most. For example, in the beginning of the book Scout was scared of Boo Radley and the Radley house as shown, “I ran by the Radley house as fast as I could, not stopping till I reached our porch”(Lee 44).

Scout’s most prominent change is her acceptance of others, when Atticus tells Scout that Boo was the one who killed Bob Ewell and not to tell anyone, she said “well, it’d sorta be like shootin’ a mockingbird wouldn’t it?” meaning that she wouldn’t want to put Boo in the spotlight when that exactly what he’s trying to avoid. Scout says one specific sentence that, on its own means nothing but in this context carries a huge weight to it. Scout, after walking Boo home, says “I turned to go home, street lights winked all the way to town. I had never seen the neighbourhood from this angle.”
