When Walter refuses to take the quarter but Miss Caroline insists, Scout interrupts, "…you'll get to know all the county folks after a while.

They don't have much, but they get along on it". Miss Caroline is shocked at Scout’s rudeness; ‘ You're starting out on the wrong foot in every way, my dear", and sends her out of her lesson.

The author mentions the young boy try to stay alive by warming up, "He felt like crying, but was to frightened, and could only run and meantime breath on his hands to warm them." (Dostoyevsky 761). Even though the two characters faced dreadful winters, the situations were different. The boy decided to browse the town in the cold; on the other hand, the girl was forced to be in the cold. The author points out that the girl was forced to stay outside from her father to sell matches, " …for she had not sold any matches and could not bring a farthing of money: from her father she would certainly get blows…" (Anderson 2).
