Scout's first day of school is important because her expectations do not meet reality. The first day of school is a maturing experience for Scout. She was very excited about going to school for the first time. She has been jealous of Jem, and thinks that first grade will be wonderful.
Scout's opinion of Boo Radley changes from fear and curiosity to empathy and understanding. At the beginning of the story, Scout is only about six years old. Like most kids in the neighborhood, she is suspicious of the Radleys, and especially curious and frightened when it comes to Boo.
