Scout learned an important life lesson which is that everyone is not alike. She learned that everyone, adults or kids are all different. They have different ways of doing things and different ways of living. Not everyone is like her little family but she can't judge people based on what the do, look like or believe in even if it is wrong to you. She can judge people on how they act unless they are actually bad people.
Scout learns this lesson from many people in the book. She learns to accept Dill even tho he has a messed up home life but she doesn't judge him for it since its not his fault. She also never thought anyless of Walter Cunninghams son just because they we'ren't the worst off. Now she learned not judge Arthur Radley just because he likes to stay in his house. She knows now that its his choice and she also knows that he is truly a good person because he saved Dill
This is an importanat life lesson because if she compared everyone to her "normal" life then nobody would shape up. People have to accept others for who they are and not make assumptions and how another acts or lives. For example when I was in elementary school everyone knew I played sports, so everyone assumed I was a tough cookie. While really i was just like all the other girly girls and people realized that once they got to know me. Once she found out that boo had been the one who she witnessed "He was carrying jem. Jem's arm was dangling crazily in front of him. " she didn't think he was all bad since he saved Jem.
