Indicate specifics from chapter 9 (at least two of each) of how Scout is a) at times her 7-year-old self and b) at others far more mature than 7.

A boy at school, Cecil Jacobs, teases Scout, saying that her father "defends niggers". Scout will not accept insults about her father and fights Cecil. Certainly Scout reacts like a child, fighting, but she also shows a loyalty to her father and perhaps an understanding of his ideals. Scout then asks Atticus a series of mature questions pertinent to the trial of Tom Robinson. Scout will punch another boy, Francis, for being rude about her father. Although her violence is still shows immaturity, there is a sense that she is also fighting for the principles that Atticus represents.
