Answer:

Explanation:

In Chapter 2 of "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, Jean Louis "Scout" Finch describes her school teacher Miss Caroline. Scout is the narrator of the whole plot, though she is the youngest of the other characters.

In the description of Miss Caroline, Scout or rather the author Harper Lee uses descriptive language such as "Twenty-one, bright auburn hair, pink cheeks, crimson fingernail polish, high-heeled pumps and a red-and-white-striped dress, looked and smelled like a peppermint drop" to provide an image of the teacher to the readers. By giving such specific detail in her, we, as readers, are able to visualize her and see her the way Scout sees her.
