Scout Finch is one of the main characters in the story and is the narrator also. She tells it as an older woman looking back at her childhood. She is described as a tomboy and is smart for her age. She is the only one in her first grade class that already knows how to read and write. Scout relates to many of the themes, but she mostly relates to "Striving to reach adulthood" and "Physical Courage". She struggles with growing up and hates that she is always left out when her brother, Jem, and her best friend Dill leave her out. Physical courage is shown when she fights her classmates because they insult her father because he is defending Tom Robinson. Scout goes through a lot throughout the first part of the story. She is beaten several times by her teacher and she dreads going to school. Due to her father, Atticus, she is made fun of too because he is defending a black man accused of raping a white woman.
Titanium by David Guetta represents Scout's conflicts. While her classmates tease her because of the fact that Atticus is defending Tom, she has an inner battle with herself to remain non-violent and she wins. Hence, "You shoot me down, but I won't fall".
An event that changes Scout is when Atticus begins to defend Tom Robinson. The town isn't happy that her father "dares" to defend a black man who is accused of raping a white women. Her classmates begin to bully her and she can't retaliate because her father has forbidden her to fight. She and her father are both repeatedly insulted. Also, adults become colder towards her to. The prime example being Mrs. Dubose. Scout begins to grow up and she learns that bravery isn't always physical. This connects to the theme "Physical Courage". You can be brave without physically fighting, and Scout begins to understand this. Before this event, Scout would fight over anything that made her upset, and she is beginning to mature.
This song describes this event because it lets you in on the emotion of being picked on at school.
Scout is a tomboy and has no issue with it. However, several people in Scout's life believe that she should act older and more lady-like. Aunt Alexandria and Jem in particular have this opinion about her. Aunt Alexandria believes that she should dress more like a girl and stop acting and dressing like a boy. Jem just thinks that she should act more like a girl and grow up. Throughout the story, Scout becomes a lady in the way that she matures, but she overall stays the same person. She likes how she is and doesn't agree with her family's opinions. The theme of this is "gender prejudice" because of their narrow views on how women should act. The video below symbolizes how Scout is how she is, and she is proud of that.
