my quote(conversation btwn scout and francis):
'just what i asked for,' he said... a pair of knee-pants, a red leather booksack, five shirts and an untied bow-tie.
'That's nice,' i lied. 'jem and me got air-rifles, and em got a chemistry set-'
'a toy one, i reckon.'
'no, a real one...'
well, this quote basically emphasizes on the absence of the truth.
i think we can obviously see that scout lied because she did not want francis to have a bad impression upon her. saying 'no, a real one' we can tell that she wanted francis to believe she is as pampered or as fortunate as him.
this will then arouse the readers curiosity upon scout because scout is known for her 'ability' or her personality of always talking back to others. which is why it encourages the reader to find out the other side of scout's personality.
this is all i have to say so i hope it makes sense to you people. =)
