Answer:

  Paradox.

Explanation:

  A paradox is a literary device that uses concepts or ideas that seem contradictory, they are usually hard to believe but they hold significant value on different levels.

  They can be classified into two groups within the literature; situational or rhetorical. In situational paradoxes, the character finds themselves in a situation hard to believe, while in rhetorical paradoxes, is the character who said something anomalous.

To kill a mockingbird
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Francis is dominant and aggressive. He sees the world as a place where he can manipulate things when he wants. When he doesn't get what he wants, he gets angry that he can't have his way. Hedoesn't like being told no and on top of that, he doesn't know how to take no for an answer because he is spoiled.

Scout on the other hand sees the world as a big place and she isn't racist in fact, I feel that Aticuss protects her and it leads her to not be biased or predjudice. She sees no difference and isn't as educated about the world as Francis. She gets the opportunity to see the good side in people that no one else wanted to give them the chance to see.
