To Kill A Mockingbird.*.Telling Scout.*

I think that if Atticus decides to tell Scout about the Tom Robinson case she might not fully understand what he means, or why he's defending him. Scout is a very smart girl, but i don't think she will understand how big of a deal it is for Atticus to defend Tom Robinson. She already has a hard time understanding what rape means. Jem on the other hand I think he understands what is going on and why this is such a big deal. Scout will probably come to understand. It just might take her longer.*
