What do the children learn from their encounters with these characters? In the novel To knock d declare A Mockingbird by Harper Lee the protagonist dungaree Louise finder Finch and her brother Jem meet a few young-bearing(prenominal) characters who every last(predicate) affects some part of the lives of the children. Harper Lee resists some of the conventional stereotypes of women from that date which is shown through the character Miss Maudie Atkinson who is opinionated, and speak her mind.Miss Maudies morality is direct with Atticus and unlike some other female residents of Maycomb County, Miss Maudie minds her own business and behaves with integrity. She shows people the respect they deserve, calling Scout Jean Louise and hissing Radley Arthur, proves this.
