In chapter 30, Scout demonstrates her compassion by caring for Boo Radley while Atticus and Sheriff Tate discuss who is responsible for Bob Ewell's death. When Atticus and Sheriff Tate leave Jem's room to discuss the events on the porch, Scout demonstrates compassion by taking Boo's hand and leading him to the front porch. Scout says,
"Come along, Mr. Arthur . . . you don’t know the house real well. I’ll just take you to the porch, sir." (Lee, 276)
When Scout takes Boo onto the porch, she once again illustrates her compassion by considering how the lights from the living room affect Boo. Scout says,
Feeling slightly unreal, I led him to the chair farthest from Atticus and Mr. Tate. It was in deep shadow. Boo would feel more comfortable in the dark. (Lee, 276)
Scout understands that Boo may be uncomfortable in the unfamiliar environment and eases his mind by sitting down next to him while Sheriff Tate and Atticus talk. After Sheriff Tate explains why he refuses to tell the community about Boo's heroics, Scout demonstrates her compassion by leading Boo to Jem's room to say goodbye before she walks Boo home.
