Introductory 1:Adversity is a common thing amongst the human-race. Almost everyone has had a problem once or twice in their life. For example, not everyone can agree on everything.

Her struggle with Walter Cunningham helped her learn a lesson that she used later, and helped her come-of-age. Adversity was a positive impact on Scout Finch’s
