Answer 2

i answered a very similiar question just a few months ago for english

they want you to be able to tell how atticus helps scout out by this piece of advice, she is a young child and being able to walk around in others skin and see how they feel is an example of how she could learn to better understand people

others have feelings to and sometimes the reasons why people act a certain way are not on the outside but need to be dug down deep to find out

draw on that idea and you will do fine, plus scout is such a great character that anyone can easily right about her making any answer sound right

Answer 3

The teacher wants you to give examples where an initial stereotype or preconception is overturned as one character learns more of the other characters background.  The book is rife with examples -- Jem and Scout learning that the "good townfolk" aren't as good as they thought; Tom Robinson's story; Boo Radley, etc.
