In what ways does Scout demonstrate sensivity and compassion in chapters 30 and 31?(Your answer should include two elements)

In chapter 30, Scout asks Atticus:  "It's sorta be like shootin' a mockingbird, wouldn't it?"  She is referring to the possibility that Boo would be arrested for Mr. Ewell's death.  Scout understands that Boo was trying to protect her, and realizes that if people knew and Boo was put on trial, it would be traumatic for this man who has spent his life as a hermit.

In chapter 31, Scout walks Boo home.  On his front porch, she turns and she imagines the street and the community as Boo sees it.  She understands that Boo loves his community and wants to protect it, and she finally "walks a minute in his shoes", as Atticus always urged her to do.
