I Agree with you Mostly because Atticus Is wise enough not to use any type of language against or harmful to someone.-Buentello

I agree with what you're trying to say about atticus, but I think you should expand and explain your answer a little bit more. Atticus is a very open-minded. He know what to say and when to say it. Hes very good with his speech. He knows how to make a statement without sounding crude or unfair. - Banos

calpurnia kinda takes care of them as they treat eachother like family and doesnt want anything bad to happen and when she says things like "hush baby" shows she is caring and is taking care of them and influces its not all a bad world that it can be good with people like calpurnia

I agree on what you said about the setting. It adds character and background. it is its character. like the churches and houses. the look of the neighborhoods. it has its own story to tell. - Banos

Calpurnia is a really laid back type of person. She cares about others feelings and she doesn't treat anyone bad. Calpurnia is a person that doesn't like it when others get mis-treated

The way Atticus reacted to the mob was not shocked but he know they were going to jail. What Scout did was interact with one of the people in the mob. Atticus was shocked about what Scout was saying. "Atticus's mouth, even, was half-open, an attitude he had once described as uncouth." This shows that

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with what you mean, Buentello. Calpurnia also showed Scout morales such as how to treat company like the Cunninghams.

In the book language isn't as complex as ours now. The way they talk shows that its kinda back in the ol' days . The white people in the book talk more formal than the colored people due to their higher education. "they'smy comp'ny"

Scout is a victim of stereotyping because Aunt Alexandra is always telling how she has to act in a certain way. She says that Scout not only needs to act more like a lady but also just to behave and not get into fights and sneak out in the middle of the night. Page 170 "We decided that...and boys-"

One of the many ways that calpurnia is a sort of mother figure to scout is in chapter 12 when calpurnia dresses, and bathes her. she makes sure she looks nice and clean. also calpurnia always make sure the house is clean, and makes sure the kids (jem and scout) are fed.

In the novel, people have different ways of saying and expressing things. The way Calpurnia speaks when she's at the Finch house, compared to the way she speaks at the church. The way people talk about Atticus on the street, compared to the way he tells Scout to talk. On pages 99-100 Scout asks Atticus if he defended niggers and Atticus responds with "Of course I do. Don't say nigger, Scout. That's common."

# data[].attributes.body
Atticus Acted very calmly when the mob came for him. He wasn't as scared as any normal person would and freak out but instead he acted in a orderly fashion . Scouts speech to the mob in chapter 15 help showed the humanity in the people when she finds Mr. Cunningham in the crowd and tells him she knows his son and this showed that all of them have families and should give him a chance in the case.

To Kill A Mockingbird tackles some very controversial topic but it doesn't do it in a harmful way. When the book refers to the black people of Maycomb, it doesn't flat out say anything rude or harmful. It may say the people of Maycomb discriminate, but you have to remember that the main character Atticus is fighting for what he believes in and protects the blacks.

# data[].attributes.body
What Jem says to Scout is to show that the town people are all different. That the white people dont like colored people. "Your fathers no better than the niggers and trash he works for." This show that people bot like the colored and disrespect them. That they dont care and that they are racist.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that scout has been in multiple peoples shoes like when scout went up against that big crowd on in chapter 15 on page 204 someone had to have did that or something for scout to step up and do that

What Jem says to Scout is

# data[].attributes.body
Calpurnia speaks two languages, she speaks colored-folks talk and white-folks talk. She talks colored-folks talk when she goes to church because that's how the rest of them talk and she doesn't to aggravate them with white-folks talk. She talks white-folks talk when she goes to work for Atticus and his family because that's how they talk. Page 167 "Suppose you and Scout talked...on airs to beat Moses."

Scout is a huge victim of stereotype. She is told multiple time in chapter thirteen that she needs "...to behave like the little lady...that (she) is.
pg 177
Scout does not follow those stereotypes however, and in fact, she tries to go against it.

calpurnia influences scout's view 2 of the world in many ways. one way is when she had explained in chapter 3. when they brought walter cunningham had gone over for dinner and scout had gotten mad about how much he served himself.

Atticus was very calm about the situation and stood back. But once he saw Scout kicking a man, that's when he stood up to the Mob and told them that they had 15 seconds to leave and for Scout to go home. The minute Atticus stood up and addressed the situation is when he showed that he was brave and strong. The Mob realized that what they were doing was wrong and that they should stop.

Atticus is a risk taker in some ways. His reputation wasn't the best even before Tom Robinson's case and he was always called names because of it. In chapter 15, a mob breaks out. Jem worries about his safety which causes him to take Scout and Dill downtown. When Atticus tells Jem to head home, Jem refuses and a man decides to grab him by the collar and say "i'll send him home." When this happens, Scout realizes that it was enough and she spotted Mr.Cunningham and talks to him in front of the whole crowd.

Atticus thinks before he speaks he is not that type of person to use a lot of profanity, or any. pg 158 chapter 14

# data[].attributes.body
Atticus' response to the mob breaks it up because he tries to get Jem to take Scout and Dill home but they refuse. His calm attitude against the angry crowd helps too. Scout's appeal to humanity broke up the mob by starting a conversation with Walter Cunningham, a man in the mob. She tries to start a conversation with him but he rarely acknowledges her, only faintly nodding his head. She brings up how bad entailment is, leaving everyone shocked and fascinated. Mr. Cunningham squats down, takes Scout by both shoulders and tells her "I'll tell him you said hey, little lady." and leaves, disbanding the mob

# data[].attributes.body
I think he knows that a lot could go wrong because a lot of the people in Maycomb see tom robinson as a horrible person. but then scout appeals to his humanity.

# data[].attributes.body
i think he is risking alot on this case maybe just trying to see its the right thing he can do at this time. calling and saying "nigger lover" and didnt do much of a bother he doesnt seem to care from the discrimination as throughout everywhere is has segragated areas that he doesnt see why its like like because there human to. he isnt putting his kids as scout is watching out for it all and said to be "scared about atticus" bc he could be hurt and the kids know

# data[].attributes.body
the words people use in this novel help to express their feelings quite well like we understand that Calpurnia had to change the way she speaked when she went to church cause she didn't want other people to know she was smarter then them or how the little boy in the one of the chapters he started argueing with the teacher and made her feel bad this situation showed how he was brought up"Not exactly. The Cunninghams are country folks,farmers,and the crash hit them hard" and the words he used to express his anger showed paragraph 2 page 27.

Miss Maudie is a rather positive women in Scout's life. In chapter 8, Miss Maudia's house caught fire but she still looked what Scout thought, "took a lively and cordial interest in Jem's and my affairs." Her only worry was the danger and commotion it caused the night before.

# data[].attributes.body
The way Scout walks into other people shoes is when she looks at about the her teacher. "She had learned not to hand something to a Cunningham, for one thing,but if Walter and I had put ourselves in her shoes we'd have seen it was an honest mistake on her part." Thats when Scout understands that walking into other peoples shoes is a different point of view.

the setting makes its own character  like a dark gloomy setting of the town that creates feeling for the novel  pages 15 through 19 explains the setting and the odd feeling that came off the house it gave me a feeling that something bad was gonna happen
"your to scared even to putn your big toe i the front yard" the feeling that the house gives the character

Atticus is real with the kids and he believes that every one deserves a chance to prove them self Innocent "Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win"then he admits to being a nigger lover because the black people are not bad people

Mrs.Dubose  From the way they describe her you expect her to be the rudest old white lady ever. that seems like she views herself as perfect and an act of god.But after she dies Jem finds out that she was addicted to morphine for years . "SHe took it as a pain killer for years.The doctor put her on it.She'd  have spent the rest of her life on it and died without so much agony,but she was too contrary "
It just goes to show that she struggled trough things.Everyone had expected her to just be rude and not in pain.

Scout has put herself in the shoes of Tom Robinson because when she found out that he was being accused of rape by the Ewells."Well, if everybody in Maycomb knows what kind of folks the Ewells are they'd be glad to hire Helen..." This quote shows that scout doesn't understand how poorly treated they are by the white people of Maycomb.

I think Atticus is risking to much for Tom Robinson case because hes risking his friendships between people. I Think this because when Mr. Cunningham was in the mob to try to lynch Mr. Robinson but Scout stop them

The setting isn't boring, it gives the novel some action and feeling. The setting shows how rough times were for the characters in the novel. It shows the rough times and good times throughout the book. Most of the feelings from the setting are shown in chapters 15-18. The setting describes the book as odd feelings, rough and good times, and the struggle that all the characters went through.

Scout runs through the mob to Atticus because she thought they were going to hurt him. When she gets there she starts talking to Mr. Cunningham, because he was the only person she recognized, talking about his son saying that he is a good boy. She keeps talking about him and Mr. Cunningham realizes that he has a son and a family just like Atticus and that his kids were right in front of him. He realized that he was human that this person he was for just a few minutes wasn't him. "Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man."

he (atticus) was layed back and not bad handle on it . and he didnt follow the crowd just stayed charater at where he could be and not to involved. the conversation with scouts apeal to humanity was stood up and wanted the strength in saying "dont you touch him" and "anit nobody gonna do jem that way"  implying it was srong and got a touch of order to make it right

Maycomb is an interesting town, if it was a character of its own, i think it would be a gossiping busybody, someone who is constantly in other peoples business.  This description is supported in chapter 16, when the Catholics, or "foot washers" drive past Miss Maudie's yard and shout out "He that cometh in vanity departeth in darkness!" on pg 212. They think miss maudie puts more love into her garden than she puts into god, and are constantly trying to remind her of that, even though its not theitr business.

# data[].attributes.body
calpurina is like a person that doesn't really make scout feel bad instead most of the time she goes with the flow . calpurina smiled "hush baby," she whispered , "you'll see in a minute." that shows the way she cares and isn't saying bad stuff to the kids.

Scout gives off a lot of personal feeling in the novel gives us a better understanding of her,Scout was being affected by how jem was acting he was growing up and he was changing and the way she quotes thing during this phase gives us the perspective of some one else who most likely has gone through the same"...if i had gone alone to the Radley place at two in the morning, my funeral would have been held the next morning.So i left Jem alone and tried not to bother him".she was trying to put her self in his situation. Chapter 7 paragraph 1 and 2.

In chapter 13, Aunt Alexandra had made a visit to see Scout and Jem. Scout is told she needs to have a more feminine influence now that she's growing up. She's put into this stereotypical group of being a feminine girl and having to become interested in clothes and boys. Although she thinks it'll be a while before she's actually interested in boys and she'll never like clothes, she chooses to stay quiet.

# data[].attributes.body
Atticus may be putting a lot on the line but in his mind he thinks he is doing the right thing because the blacks are a very discriminated in Maycomb."nigger-lover is just one of those terms that don't mean anything—like snot-nose. It's hard to explain—ignorant, trashy people use it when they think somebody's favoring Negroes over and above themselves. It's slipped into usage with some people like ourselves, when they want a common, ugly term to label somebody." This quote shows that Atticus doesn't see black people as bad people.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think that Atticus risks because he could lose nearly everything just for one case, but he just wants justice for Tom. Everyone assumes Tom is guilty just because he's a negro. Atticus isn't putting his children at risk because Scout is keeping Atticus out of danger and protecting him when he's not around. In example, on page 197 Scout says "Scared about Atticus. Somebody might hurt him."  Scout, Dill , and Jem follow him in the middle of the night and Scout stops an angry mob. On page 203 Scout runs through the crowd and a man grabs Jem by the collar. Scout kicks the man and he falls back in pain.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes i do think Atticus risks too much because he wants to take up this mans case but everyone wants the man dead for what he had done or what he is being accused of rape. Atticus is wants to do the right thing and take the man to just and let the court decide what the mans is going to be charged with but he risks a lot with his kids because in chapter 15 his kid goes up against a big crowd and actually breaks up the crowd"All right, Mr Finch, get 'em outa here""You got fifteen seconds to get 'em outa here"

Calpurnia Influences Scout"s View of the world in many ways. One way is when she had explained in Chapter 3. When they brought Walter  Cunningham had gone over for "dinner" And Scout had Gotten mad about how much he served himself. "But he's gone and drowned his dinner in syrup," "He's poured it all over---" and Calpurnia had gotten angry and head to explain that he doesn't get to eat a lot like they do. "There's some  folk who don't eat like us," "but you ain't called on to contradict' em at the table when they don't.That boy's yo' comp'ny and if he wants to eat up the table cloth you let him, you hear?"

# data[].attributes.body
Atticus' response to the mob was calm, he tried to keep the  crowd at bay. If they started yelling, it would have been impossible to talk sense to them. Scouts tried to remind Mr. Cunningham  that he was human by having a normal conversation with him.
"...and he's asleep, don't wake him up."
"...the men talked in near whispers..."
"Hey Mr.Cunningham, hows your entailment coming along?"
"I go to school with Walter... He's your boy, a'int he? A'int he, sir?"
pg 202-206

In the book we discover that Calpurnia's speech changes when she is at church.  In chapter 12, when Calpurnia and the kids are at the church, her speech changes from very  formal to very improper.
Ch. 12, Pg. 158, paragraph 4.
"They's my comp'ny"
In the beginning of the book she asks about the hymn books are and Calpurnia says that they don't have any. At the end of the book jem questions why they sing hymn like that "He's just like our preacher" said Jem "But why do you all sing hymns like that?"
"Linin?" she said
"is that what its called?"
Yeah, its called linin. theyve done it like that since I can remember." jem said they could save collection money for a year and buy  hymn books.
"it wouldnt do any good, they can't read" so in this part of the book we discover that the people in Calpurnias community can't read due to the cost of books

1.   How does the town of Maycomb function as a character with its own personality, rather than merely as a backdrop for the novel's events?

2.   Atticus believes that to understand life from someone else's perspective, we must "walk in his or her shoes." How has Scout walked in other people’s shoes so far in the book?

3.   Since their mother is dead, several women—Calpurnia, Miss Maudie, and Aunt Alexandra—function as mother figures to Scout and Jem. Discuss the ways one of these women influences Scout's growing understanding of the world around her.

4.   Do you think Atticus risks too much (his reputation, his friendships, his career) to take Tom Robinson's case? Do you think he risks too much by putting his children in harm's way?

5. Language is a powerful tool in this novel. The language of the children, the eloquence of Atticus and the language of the townspeople reflect their attitudes and often their prejudices. Give one example of how language is used to display the character’s class, education, or prejudice?

6.   Many of the characters in the novel hold stereotypes about how individuals will behave as a result of their age, gender, race, social status, etc. Which characters are the victims of stereotyping? Do any of them break through the behavior expected of them, showing individuality and exposing the falseness of labeling people?

7.   To Kill a Mockingbird has been challenged repeatedly by the political left and right, who have sought to remove it from libraries for its portrayal of conflict between children and adults; ungrammatical speech; references to sex, the supernatural, and witchcraft; and unfavorable presentation of blacks. Which elements of the book-if any-do you think touch on controversial issues in our contemporary culture? Did you find any of those elements especially troubling, persuasive, or insightful?

8.   Jem describes to Scout the four "folks" or classes of people in Maycomb County: "our kind of folks don't like the Cunninghams, the Cunninghams don't like the Ewells, and the Ewells hate and despise the colored folks."  What does Jem mean by “our kind” and how does this help the reader understand the race and class structure of the South in the 1930s?

9.   Aunt Alexandra and Dolphus Raymond give Jem and Scout two different points of view about the society they live in.  How are their views different or are they the same?

10. Mob mentality often causes people to act out of character and go along with the crowd. How did Atticus’ response to the mob and Scout’s appeal to humanity eventually break up the mob?
