To Kill a mockingbird

She is also very clever and she has an advanced vocabulary. Her father is a lawyer and he has taught her big words. She bosses over in school. She puts on a boyish feeling and acts like a tomboy. She even gets a scolding from her teacher as she knows how to read and write at such a time when reading was taught to grade three or grade 4 students and she is only in grade one.

As she knows how to read she hates going to school because her teacher scolds her for learning that. She tries to make Atticus think she was learning the wrong kind of words in school by using slang words. She is more intelligent than the other children in her class. This is because her cook Calpurnia taught her to read at a very young age to stop her from getting bored when her brother went to school. Atticus asks her "something wrong Scout". So she tells her father all about it, but he says "you can't understand a person until you climb into his skin" that makes Scout understand a little more and pity the teacher a little.

When uncle jack talks about his cat that was getting fat Scout says "aw that's a damn story" which makes uncle jack angry. So he tells her to stop using the words. But then Scout tells her the actual reason and then uncle Jack understands the righteous meaning (why she is using those words).

She is too young to decide what is right and wrong for her.

She had misunderstandings for her neighbours.

She had heard a lot of gossip about the Radleys that they were bad people who kept there window shut on Sundays. Never talked to anyone or go to any parties.

She doesn't like another neighbour called Mrs Dubose. Both Jem and Scout don't like her because she was aged and feeble and always called them names even when they were polite to her. When Scout shouted "hey mrs dubose" she would shout back "don't you say hey to me you ugly girl"

She is trying to improve her sense of right and wrong at such an early age that she makes a lot of mistakes. But she doesn't understand why does she dislikes and like different people.

This is why Scout is more of a grown up 12 ears old child and less of a 7 year old child. Her knowledge of issues affecting society is beyond her years. She might have a few characteristics like a child but she has much more characteristics which show that she is an adult. This is why I answered the question negatively.
