also shows sympathy by walking Boo to the farthest seat away from the bright living room lights on the porch because she is aware that the strong lights will hurt Boo's eyes. Scout then sits next to Boo Radley to make him feel more comfortable in the unfamiliar home and once again demonstrates compassion by comparing Boo to a metaphorical mockingbird when Sheriff Tate tellsAtticus why he refuses to inform the community about Boo's heroics. Scout also demonstrates sensitivity and compassion by walking Boo home and leading him to his porch at the end of the night.

It's all in the way that she treated Boo once she realizes that the stranger in the room is him.  When Heck Tate explains how Bob died by his own knife, Scout agrees with him, saying that to allow Boo to be in the spotlight would be "shootin' a mockingbird", the main symbol of the novel.  A second example would be when Scout escorts Boo home.  Instead of peppering him with all the questions that must have been floating in her head, there is an comfortable silence.  Scout realises what Boo needs:  someone to understand him

She notes that putting Boo on trial would be like shooting a mockingbird; that is, causing harm to someone who has done nothing wrong (nothing but providing help or 'singing a song.') There is also the compassionate moments when she sits with Boo and walks him home. I think one of the most poignant moments is when Scout, after having walked Boo home, stands on his porch and looks out. This is the first time she's had this physical perspective of her street and this is analogous to looking at the world from the perspective of others; particularly those who society has outcast.

"You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes." This is Atticus' line and its message is constant throughout the novel: the Cunninghams, Tom Robinson, Boo, Ms. DuBose, etc.
