Hi there, could you help me create a thematic statment for the following essay question

Discuss the contribution to Scout's maturation by three of the following characters: Calpurnia, Mrs.Dubose, Mr.Cunninghan, Miss Caroline and Mayella Ewell. Why are they significant.

I chose Calpurnia and Miss Caroline but i don't know who else to choose, could you tell me how Mayella could have influenced the maturing of Scout?

Thanks.

If Mayella had influenced Scout, it would have been indirectly, through Atticus.

What was it Atticus was after during the trial?
What was Mayella trying to achieve by means of the trial?
Do you think Scout picked up on any of this? If so, what? How? And how did she react?
