What memories of your own childhood come to mind as you read about Scout's experiences?
Looking at scout's experiences, which were playful , childish and daring, it reminds me of my own. She was daring enough to touch Boo's door, playful and childish to act and laugh at Boo and believed that Boo was a monster. As for my own childhood, I had my childhood at Malaysia. My younger cousin and I would take newspaper from a stack and go out along the road where my grandparents house were and we would wrap the newspaper around the young papaya tree, which wasn't event half a meter tall, and we would find way to smuggle match stick out and burn the trees, and we usually end up getting scolded by our grandfather. We were around  5 years old that time and the only thing we could play with was, match sticks, plants, the stray dogs and all. We usually end up burning a lot things because that's the only thing we knew what to do. No matter how many time we get scolded or punished we would always attempt again.
