1) At the church African-Americans greet Finches with respect to Atticus. They are thankful that he helps Tom to win his case. Most of them are very welcome. You can see that relationship between whites and blacks in the city is very tense. Blacks thinks that whites are speak, act and walk in different way.

2)I think that Aunt Alexandra a necessary addition to the Finch household, because she helps children to grow and learn appropriate manners and charm. Actually I fully understand that Jem and Scout don't want Aunt Alexandra to stay in their house and do what she says to do, but I think it is only one way to be an well-mannered adult.

1) At the church most African Americans didn't mind Scout and Jem being in the church at all. Yet, that was a church for black people, that's why Lula, a black woman was really angry and said it was very unfair to have two white children in the church because she is not accepted in a white's peoples church. This made me see that in this book there is a really big conflict with this two communities and that not only the white people do not accept, but the black do the same.

2) Scout is actually not really happy to have Aunt Alexandra in her own home because there is a tension between them. Yet, I believe that now with Aunt Alexandra in the house it will be better not only for Atticus but for the children because they will have someone to look for them and also I believe everything is going to get even more interesting in the house.

1- How do the African-Americans greet the Finches at their church, and what does this tell you about their relationship with the whites?

The African-Americans greet the Finches in a good and friendly manner, however there is a woman , Lula, that argues with Calpurnia because she does not agree with the presence of white children in an African American church. Regarding to this, I think that it is not right because for those who are believers, there is only one God and I also think that it is unnecessary to have separate churches for white and black people "It's the same God, ain't it?" (page 63). Lula is demonstrating racial prejudice with her accusation to Calpurnia and the kids. The rest of the members of that church are welcoming with the Finches and the relation that they establish with them is polite, maybe because their father is in a position where he is defending Tom Robinson.

2- Is Aunt Alexandra a necessary addition to the Finch household? Why?

The presence of Aunt Alexandra I think would make the store more interesting since the kids don't get along with her. Her presence in the Finch's house is not necessary since Calpurnia has been taking the role of the mother and Atticus may commit some mistakes but he has been doing a great job raising the kids. In addition, I don't like her because she is the kind of person that one can call meticulous and persistent :-/

1- How do the African-Americans greet the Finches at their church, and what does this tell you about their relationship with the whites?

Only one African America greets the children in an unfriendly manner, the other are all very open, accepting and friendly with them. This shows that the relationships between the dark skinned and light skinned folks in Maycomb county are mostly of mutual respect, some are friendly with each other but others just kind of follow an unspoken rule of "you don't bother me, I don't bother you".

2- Is Aunt Alexandra a necessary addition to the Finch household? Why?

I do not find her a necessary addition to the Finches because although she is there to 'properly train' the children, I find that Atticus and Cal have been doing a good enough job of that themselves, not to mention that what she teaches them are superficial things.

1- The African-American people in the church greet the Finches in a friendly way. That's how anyone should greet everybody. But like always, there is a negative part. This woman starts making problems and asks Calpurnia why they came here when they have their own exclusive church. At the end the woman leaves and the Finches fit in well and they respect eachother.

2- I don't think aunt Alexandria is vital in the Finch's house, but I think she kind of has a role for the family. she is like the only family relative that lives there, and although Calpurnia is the motherly figure, Alexandria gives a sense of opposite force. She wants to yeah the kids to do things one way, when Atticus is teaching them another way.

1- How do the African-Americans greet the Finches at their church, and what does this tell you about their relationship with the whites?

The African Americans greet the Finches in a friendly manner, and are all happy to see them. The only problem they had was with this woman, Lula, who asked Calpurnia the reason to why she brought white children into the African American church, when they have their own white church. The African Americans drive Lula off and greet the Finches. It also shows how the African Americans respect their father, Atticus, because he is one of the only white men who defend the African Americans.

2- Is Aunt Alexandra a necessary addition to the Finch household? Why?

Aunt Alexandra, in my opinion, isn't a necessary addition to the Finch household. The Finch household has already a "mother figure", Calpurnia. Aunt Alexandra only like things done her way, and even though the Finch's are her relatives, it doesn't mean she is necessary in their home. Aunt Alexandra is a conservative woman, so she wants to teach the kids her ways, while their father, while Atticus teaches them differently, a liberal influence. I think the Finch's have done fine in the past years with the help of Calpurnia, and Aunt Alexandra is jus a bargain.

1- How do the African-Americans greet the Finches at their church, and what does this tell you about their relationship with the whites?

The African Americans greet the finches very well when they come to their church. There was one incident of a woman who was not as nice to them as the others, but she soon disappeared. Even though whites people treat the black people badly and tend to not want to associate with them, the black people made sure Scout and Jem were welcome to their church and treated them with as much respect as they would treat any other person.

2- Is Aunt Alexandra a necessary addition to the Finch household? Why?

I think that in some aspect Aunt Alexandra is necessary but only to keep order. Calpurina does represent the kind of mother figure in the house, but there will come a point when the children will begin to disobey her and rebel against her and theres only so much she can do, and this is why Aunt Alexandra is necessary, but apart from that she is just a person who tries to fit in to society and not stand out. She tries to teach the kids that there are certain things that they cant do while Atticus teaches them differently and better.

1. Jem and scout were very well received in the african-american church. I was very surprised to see how even though whites tend to exclude blacks and ridicule their existence, it wasn't like that in this case. They made sure they were welcomed, and that there wasn't any fights or conflicts between any of them. I think it takes courage to not stoop down to their level, and accept them in their community. Even though most of them were like that, there was a women called lula who did not agree and didn't want them there. She didn't want to be in the same room as them. As the whites wanted both races to be separate, she wanted that too. She states that why should they be in their church, if they have their own. It is also very surprising how both whites and blacks try to exclude each other in the "house of god."

2. I don't think that Aunt Alexandra forms a part of the Finch household apart from the fact that they share blood because they are related. I believe that Aunt Alexandra represents society in the book. She doesn't agree very much with either Atticus or Calpurnia, since they don't share the same ideals. Aunt Alexandra wants things to be made her way, and only hers. She wants to change all of them, and she wants them to be a certain way. For example: She wants Scout to be and act more girly, to dress appropriately. Also Aunt Alexandra does not share the same morals and values that Atticus and Calpurnia tries to teach Jem and Scout. Above all, Aunt Alexandra believes that blacks are the inferior race.

1. The Finch children were mostly accepted into the African-American church although one of the members, Lula was completely opposed to their presence. Lula states that white people shouldn't be welcomed into their church just as whites don't welcome blacks into theirs (ch. 12, page 63). She clearly doesn't feel any respect for these children and demands that they go back to where they belong. However most of the black community stands up for them and lets them know that they are more than welcome in their church. The Reverend and the rest of the church show some kind of mutual respect towards the Finch children. This shows us that the African-American community is not looking for a fight, instead they respect whites as long as the same respect is given to them. They are a peaceful people who mind their own business but are not against whites, they wish to live together in harmony.

2. I don't really think that Aunt Alexandra is a necessary addition to the Finch household. She is much too radical and strict and sees the world as merely black and white. Her ideals are very biased, since she apparently categorizes everyone into good and bad. She is not tolerant in the least and she is quick to judge everyone, even her niece. Atticus is the complete opposite. He teaches the children to respect and accept everyone, regardless of race. He teaches them life lessons and values that enhance their empathy, courage and tolerance. He sees beyond many things and is generally caring and not to mention wise. Calpurnia is also a big part of the children's education since she is living proof that we are all equal. She is the mother figure to Scout and Jem. Atticus and Calpurnia manage just fine without Alexandra.

1. I think that people in the churches reaction to the finches was what i expected, normaly the african americans during this time only wanted to be treated equal and even though lists of harm was done to them by whites mentally and physically they would always be peaceful and hoped for equality, inviting any white people that wished the same. but thats not what all african americans though of course with all this hate and resection some are going to retaliate, if you don't like us why should we like you ? the majority of the church let the finches in with open arms and respect, we do have to remember that the finches rant just any whites though. Atticus was defending a negro which earned him a certain amount of respect by the "negro population". Lula didnt exactly care about their involvement or ideals on the subject... they were white and they were in the black church and if we can go to the white peoples church, than she didnt see why they could come in to theirs. The churches overall acceptance shows us the humanity and superior sense of judgment that they had, and the opposing ignorant white wagon hopers who's racial prejudice was their trademark

2. Calpurnia is obviously the mother figure in the finches hows but she can only go as far as the kids and Atticus sees her due to her position in the house as the overall maid. the fact that she was superior in intelligence then other maids made her more than just a maid, she was wise and smart and could be considerd part of the family but she still had that limitation that the kids did know. So this is where Aunt alexandra comes in, since she's part of the family she can reach that full level of authority in my opinion. The kids have to have a higher respect for her and therefor has a fuller control of the household, even if they don't like her. She also serves a different mother figure. different in the sense of how she does thing... I think she is a Good addition and im curious to see what happens.

1- How do the African-Americans greet the Finches at their church, and what does this tell you about their relationship with the whites?  The African-Americans welcomed the Finches and showed respect. Lula was the only one that was not happy with white people in their church when they had their own time; "You ain't got no business bringin' white chillun her- they got their church, we got our'n." (pg119).

2- Is Aunt Alexandra a necessary addition to the Finch household? Why?I don't think Aunt Alexandra is needed in the Finch household because Atticus is doing a great job with Scout and Jem. Alexandra could play a 'motherly' figure but the Finches have Cal doing that already. The house would be more than fine without having her with them, nothing is wrong with the way the children are growing up.

1. The Finches seemed to be welcomed in the African-American church. However, Lula, one of the members of the church, refuses to admit white children in it. When Lula leaves, Zeebo, the garbage colector, appears and says “we’re mighty glad to have you all here. Don’t pay no ‘tention to Lula…” (310) Overall, this reaction tells us that the relationship between black and white people is positive. However, there are individuals from both groups that do not share the same ideas.

2. I do not believe that Aunt Alexandra is a necessary addition to the Finch household because the Finches had been doing well for the past years with the help of Calpurnia. She has taken care of Jem and Scout while Atticus worked and she is the perfect figure for them to follow because she imposes rules and at the same time teaches them valuable things in life.

1-Most of the African-Americans greeted the Finches kindly and respectfully at their church, except a woman, Lula, that was showing strong racial prejudice saying: “You ain’t got no business bringin‘ white chillun here—they got their church, we got our’n.” (pg.63 Ch.12). This tells me that the African-Americans had a respectful relationship with the whites as long as it was returned back, but Lula was acting differently of them, setting borders between races, even if it was a church and “It’s the same God, ain’t it?”(pg. 63), like Calpurnia replied to Lula. Zeebo, Calpurnia´s son and Reverend Sykes let the Finches know that they were welcome to the church, showing esteem for them.

2-I don´t consider that Aunt Alexandra is a necessary addition to the Finch household because, even if she says: “We decided that it would bebest for you to have some feminine influence.” (pg. 67 Ch.13), I think that Jem and Scout are well took care with Atticus and Calpurnia. I see Aunt Alexandra as very strict and harsh person and with Atticus, the children are being taught to be respectful with others and their privacy, to not judge people because of their race and to not kill innocent animals like mockingbirds, which only bring joy to people. Calpurnia was also playing a good role in their life, that is shown when Atticus says: If anything, she’s been harder on them in some ways than a mother would have been... she’s never let them get away with anything, she’s never indulged them the way most colored nurses do. She tried to bring them up according to her lights, and Cal’s lights are pretty good—and another thing, the children love her.”(pg.72 Ch.14) I could say that their upbringing with Atticus and Calpurnia have instilled moral values on them, making them more fair and respectful individuals. However, with the difficult situation that Atticus is going through with the trial, Aunt Alexandra could help taking care of the children and teaching them manners in a female perspective.

1.  The African-Americans seemed to accept the Finches pretty well, some also showed respect “the men stepped back and took of their hats; the women crossed their arms at their waists, weekday gestures of respectful attention” (118). However, there was this one Negro, Lula, which is very defensive and dramatic; she tells Calpurnia that she has no right to bring white children to a Negro church.  This shows that some Negros have nothing against the white people, they show them respect as long as the white people return it. However, there are some Negros, like Lula, that have something against white people, no matter if they are good or bad; they think that all white people are the same.

2.  I don´t think that Aunt Alexandra is a necessary addition to the Finch Household; I mean Calpurnia is doing a great job at being a motherly figure in the house. On the other hand, Aunt Alexandra will teach the children more about manners and she will be a good influence on Scout, since she needs to learn how to act like a woman. Also, since times are starting to get tough because of Atticus´case, Aunt Alexandra will be able to support the children and take care of them.

1. The African Americans seem to accept and not mind that Jem and Scout have attended their church, expect for one of them that made a scene and was saying that they have their own church and that they shouldn't be there since the niggers are not welcomed in the white's church. This lets you know that there is a segregation between the black and the white's. Also that since the blacks are not accepted in the whites community then some of them feel that the whites should not be accepted in the blacks community.

2. I believe that with Aunt Alexandra in the house things are going to get more interesting since Scout is not a very big fan of her and her ways. Aunt Alexandra could be considered a necessary addition to the Finch household since they need a female figure that can put some rules and show the kids how to behave. Although Calpurnia does that job pretty well, Aunt Alexandra has some different things she would want to implement like converting Scout to more of a girl. Also Aunt Alexandra is going to be there to support them and be with the kids since Atticus is not around the house as much.

1- How do the African-Americans greet the Finches at their church, and what does this tell you about their relationship with the whites?

The African-Americans at the church don't mind having Jem and Scout there, however, one particular character, Lula, was unhappy with having white children at their church. After the nasty comment from Lula, Zeebo was telling how the whole church is glad to have them.

2- Is Aunt Alexandra a necessary addition to the Finch household? Why?

I think that Aunt Alexandra can help Scout and Jem understand better what feminine influence really does to families, because like Scout said "It takes a women to do that kind of work." pg. 134. Also, Atticus does't have enough time to attend to his children and sometimes he doesn't know how to deal with some situations, and Calpurnia isn't a real member of the family and i think that children won't listen to her as suppose to Aunt A. I think that for now, her influence is pretty necessary but there are many other aspects that can say the opposite.
