I might throw this out there:

You have great specific examples that should be used within your body paragraphs, but support a broader idea.  I usually encourage students to come up with 3 broad topics (topic sentences) that can be supported by two specific pieces of text - quotes or paraphrases.

Your thesis sets you up perfectly with "gains a new understanding on issues..."  Instead of using the three specific examples listed as your three topic sentences, come up with broader topics that define three different "issues."

Examples: from your specific examples you could say one issue she gains a mature perspective on is "racism" (this would nicely tie in your second example).  Another is "class distinction" or something with socio-economics (which works with your third example).  The first example you have is the most broad... sounds like you'd go into some detail with Boo Radley on that one... so maybe the issue is understanding people who are different in some other way besides race and money.

I love what you have here - I'd encourage you to come up with 2 textual examples within each topic to fully support your ideas.  Also - when it comes to the final order of your paper - put your best body paragraph last and your worst 2nd to last.
