The sentence ‘We were too old to settle an argument with a fist-fight,..’ tells me that scout wanted to have a battle.The word fist-fight tells me that she wanted to box someone.I actually thought that scout was a boy when Jem said that ’she was being a girl’ in chapter 4,page 45.This tells me that she is a tomboy.She acts like one by having fights.

An example image of scout based on her attitude:

Why did i choose this picture?

I choose this picture as she looks like a tomboy.Looking closely at her dressing,it i like a boy.Her hat is worn backwards and she ties her hair into two.Her hair is also quite short.The way she post in this picture shows us the posture of a man or so call boy.This picture match with the first paragraph as it looks like she is ready for a fight.
