Read this excerpt from Daisy Miller, in which Winterbourne tries to understand Daisy, and answer the question. Never, indeed, si

nce he had grown old enough to appreciate things, had he encountered a young American girl of so pronounced a type as this. Certainly she was very charming, but how deucedly sociable! Was she simply a pretty girl from New York State? Were they all like that, the pretty girls who had a good deal of gentlemen's society? Or was she also a designing, an audacious, an unscrupulous young person? In a 150 word response, give your opinion about whether Daisy was an innocent flirt or a manipulator who deliberately defied social norms. Support your opinion with at least two reasons or examples from the text.

I would argue that the character of the young Daisy Miller was an innocent flirt rather than a manipulator. She was full of life, of freedom, of sincerity, and of grace, and she was beautiful, carefree, charming, and certainly ahead of her time, but she was far from being a manipulator. She had "a great deal of gentlemen's society," as she herself pointed out, but she was unpretentious, "unsophisticated," and "completely uncultivated," as Winterbourne described her, so it is possible to say that she acted naturally, not in a manipulative way.  

This can also be confirmed in the passage that narrates the moment when they both met: "... (Daisy) was a coquette; he was sure she had a spirit of her own; but in her bright, sweet, superficial little visage there was no mockery, no irony." This, once again, indicates that she was honest and straightforward, and far from Machiavellian.

So this passage in question is chapter 23 pg 304

Leading into what he says, jem explains to scout that there are four kinds of folks, which leads them to talk about their family's background leading to the conversation of learning how to read and write where scout goes on and tells him "no everybody's gotta learn, nobody's born knowin'. That walter's as smart as he can be, he just gets held back sometimes because he has to stay out and help his daddy. Nothin's wrong with him. Naw, jem, i think there's just one kind of folks. Folks."

Which leads us to Jem saying "thats what i thought, too when i was your age. If there's just one kind of folks, why can't they get along with each other? if they're all alike, why do they go out of their way to despise each other? Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time...its because he want to stay inside."

My interapation of this is that Jem means the he thought that the trial wasn't equal. The thought that the world isn’t as good as he thought and believed. The Tom Robinson’s trial made it clear which made Jem come upon this relization. That the staying inside maybe meant he (boo radley) maybe was scared it may not be a very pleasant world, not fair and judgemental towards him

Hope this helps :)
