THERE WAS A MISTAKE IN MY PERIOD 1 ENGLISH CLASS. I CAUGHT THE MISTAKE WHILE I WAS LOOKING AT MY SECOND PERIOD CLASS' HOMEWORK TODAY:

Some people looked up the word INGENIOUS instead of INGENUOUS. The good news is that both words describe Scout. The word we discussed in my first period class was INGENIOUS. To clarify, I will post the definitions for both words here:

1. ingenious- (adj.) clever {noun is "ingenuity," which means cleverness}
2. ingenuous- (adj.) naive {noun in "ingenue," which means a naive character }
