Early on, Barrientos recognized the intolerance for differences in her new land. With a regretful tone, she explained how she, too, rejected her cultural diversity out of respect for her parents’ wishes and in an attempt to fit in. When she was seven years old, she heard the Registrar at her elementary school enrollment say, “You people. Your children are always behind, and you have the nerve to bring them in late?” (p. 58).

While in her mother’s eyes, she only supported her daughter and craved the absolute best for her child.
I was came across one old high school friend and asked them why I always have to be the one to find out how she’s doing. She gave me the same answer most people give “I’ve been busy.” I then wrote “I see why you don’t have that many friends left.” I acted as an ego buster because I made her feel bad about herself. I was aware that it would make her feel bad in some way but I never really paid attention to the fact that it would affect her ego in a negative way.

Last but not least Boo Radley was another character from to kill a bird that helped Scout learn her lesson.
