From: Largehearted Boy

I always wanted to be like Scout from To Kill a Mockingbird. She was somewhere between Pollyanna and Pippi Longstocking; she had a heart, but was feisty enough to beat up the bullies on the playground if she had to. She wore her britches underneath her dress and was never afraid of insects. I was always of the shyer more cautious variety, standing on the sidelines observing people, but I liked to imagine I was more like Scout. Like Scout, I too could be someone to reckon with, someone who probed until she was satisfied with the answers, at least in my own mind.
