Catching Walter Cunningham in the schoolyard gave me some pleasure, but when I was rubbing his nose in the dirt Jem came by and told me to stop. "your'e bigger'n he is" he said.
"He's as old as you, nearly," I said. "He made me start off on the wrong foot."
"Let him go, Scout.Why?
Walter Cunningham has gotten SCout in trouble. She is really mad. She dosen't just scream about it to her friends like most girls. Scout goes and beats him up. She is really tough! It says that he's nearly the same age as Jem, and Jem is four years older than her.
She really has guts. Not only is she beating up a boy and winning, but the boy is older than her. THe signigance of this passage was to show how tough and fearless SCout is. She was not afraid to stand up for herself. She was not intimidated by Walter's age. Or his gender. AT that moment and time she was tough SCout, who wasn't afraid of anyone.
