The novel takes place within the span of a few years. For this reason, Scout matures (as do the other characters).  Therefore, Scout's struggles change. At first, Scout struggles with seeing things from the perspective of others.  Scout is always well-intentioned, but she cannot see outside of her own world. Atticus, therefore, tries to help her to walk into the shoes of another person. We see this struggle in her interaction with Walter Cunningham and Boo Radley. Here is what Atticus says to her:

“First of all,” he said, “if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-”

“Sir?”
“-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”

As the book progresses, she has another struggle, the racism of Maycomb. Atticus, therefore, warns her by saying that there will be some ugly things that happen on account of the trial of Tom Robinson.  Atticus was not exaggerating. In fact, Tom Robinson, an innocent man, is condemned and later dies, and Bob Ewell even attacks her. Yet through all this, Jem and Scout both emerge as good people, and they, like Atticus, still hope for the best.
