Discuss ways that the trial and the activities leading up to represent a ""formative experience"" for Jem and Scout. Discuss how each have changed because of the trial being a part of the family’s life.

The trial opened them up to the harsh cruelty of their town by exposing them to racism and the unfairness of life.

Explanation:

Scout is the narrator of the book, and her perspective is a result of the aftermath of all the events. She views her childhood solemnly. The events leading up to the trial, like the lynch mob, all are examples of when Scott and Jem are right in the middle of it. Due to Atticus's proximity to the case, they aren't allowed to be innocent anymore. They take a lot of  interest in Boo Radley in the first part of the book, and that's because to them, he's some urban legend. After they meet him, that legend becomes real, and the childlike sense of wonder about the promises of life is stripped away.
