When atticus returns from montgomery scout asks if he brought her a book when you were a child what would you have asked for from a parent returning from a trip what does scott indicate about her and about atticus influences on her do you think she unusual child? example

Kids usually ask for many things but book are rarely it. They want toys, especially those as small as Scout. She however wants a book which points out that she, like her father, has tendencies to become an intellectual and enjoys reading. Atticus is a well read, educated man, so the apple didn't fall far away from the tree.
