To kill a Mockingbird : Chapter 3
13.Who is Calpurnia? What is her place in the Finch household?
She is the black housekeeper and nanny for the Finches. She has been with them since Jem was born. She cooks, cleans, sews, irons, and disciplined the kids. Atticus appreciates her a lot and insists that the children absolutely respect her. Even though her and Scout fight a lot, she stills adores the kids.
14. What is Walter Cunningham like? What does his behaviour during lunch suggest about his home life? Walter is comes from a low-income farming family. He is = shy, and extremely proud that he won’t receive charity. His talk with Atticus indicates that he knows a lot about farming and takes responsibilities of those far older than him. He doesn't have particularly refined manners, as he demonstrates by spilling molasses all over his dinner.
15. What do you think of the way Atticus treats Walter?
I admire Atticus for setting great example to his kids by treating Walter respectfully, so that they know to treat people with respect no matter their social status. He also interacted wit him just like someone would with an adult which is very thoughtful, since Walter is already way ahead of his age when it comes to farming and crops
16. Does Scout learn anything from Walter's visit? What do you think this is? After criticizing Walter, Cal gave her a lecture in the kitchen about how she should never judge others, since it only shows her lack of manners
17. Atticus says that you never really understand a person “until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”. What does this mean? Is it an easy thing for Scout to learn? Everyone is going through something of his own, so u should never judge someone without putting yourself in their shoes to try and see their perspective to understand why they are the way they are. 18. What do you learn in this chapter about the Ewells? We learn that the Ewells live in a small house out by the town dump and are very poor and uneducated that the children only show-up to school for the first day every year.
