I think it's like the familiar military scouts who were dispatched from the main body to gather information, is a seeker, scouting out new areas of experience. she's a "scout" in the prejudice against black people - a revolutionary
Reply:Scout-a person sent out to obtain information.Since she is protagonist it is through her eyes we learn the inherent evils of racism.
Reply:Scout=someone who observes, sent out to discover. If you read the book, what has Scout discovered????
