Stages of Morality

I think that the stage of morality that Scout goes by is self interest. She will do what she wants because it will make her happy. For example, Aunt Alexandra is always telling Scout that she should be more like a lady and Scout just ignores her because she doesn't care what she thinks and she is happy the way she is. Another example is Scout is always playing games with Jem and Dill because it is fun for her and she does not care what anyone else thinks.

I think the stage of morality that Dill goes by is Obedience. For example when Scout, Jem and him wanted to see if they could see Boo Radley and Jem saw him, since Jem had lost his pants trying to get out of the yard, Dill made up a story that they were playing strip poker and that is how Jem lost his pants. Dill did what he had to do to avoid punishment. Even though he did lie Dill, Scout, Jem could have been in a lot of trouble if he didn't.
