Through out the first 6 or so chapters I've noticed that Scout doesn't realy want to be a girly kind of girl. She wants to play with Dill and her brother, Jem. She likes to role in the mud you might say.
Iv'e also noticed that she is very smart. She's only in the first grade and she has intelegent conversations with her neighbor Miss Maudie. On page 45 when Scout and Miss Maudie are talking about Boo Radley. " What happens in houses behind closed doors, what secrets-"
"Atticus don't ever do anyhting to Jem and me in the house that he don't do in the yard," I said, feeling in my duty to defend my parent.
I see here that she is very intelectutal for a first grader.
Whenever Scout and Miss Maudie are talking together I think that Miss Maudie calls her by her real name so that Scout can feel somewhat feminine. Scout is always hanging with the guys so I feel that Miss Maudie seems to be sort of a motherly figure to Scout.

As far as Scout not wanting to be a "girly-girl", I can understand since she is so young and without many female influences (her mom is not there) so I can understand if she is always "haniging" with the boys because she is almost always around boys. Make sense?? :]
*Oops sorry....I spelled "hanging" wrong*
:]
what is rollin in the mud supposed to mean??? im confused
Rollin in the mud is supposed to mean that she is always playing with the boys, or rollin in the mud you might say. You know how pigs are happy when they are rolling in the mud? Well I beleive that this is where Scout is the happiest. She has no friends that are girls her age so if she plays with all the boys than that is probably where she is the happiest.
