"Calpurnia' tyranny, unfairness, and meddling in my business had faded to gentle grumblings of general disapproval. On my part, I went to much trouble, sometimes, not to provoke her" (34).

Significance: Scout's decision to consciously try not make things more difficult for Calpurnia demonstrates a sense of maturity that is developing her. This emerging maturity is especially apparent now in comparison to her childish reaction to Calpurnia's chastisement of Scout's table manners in Chapter 2.

"Catching Walter Cunningham in the schoolyard gave me some pleasure, but when I was rubbing his nose in the dirt Jem came by an told me to stop" (30).

"Calpurnia says that's n------ talk" (49).

Significance: This quote acknowledges Calpurnia's willingness to use such a harmful and derogatory word around Scout. Scout says the word because it was a direct quote from Calpurnia, which shows Calpurnia's lack of thinking in regards to what she says around young, impressionable children.

"He staked me out, marked as his property, said I was the only girl he would ever love, then neglected me. I beat him up twice but it did no good, he only grew closer to Jem." (54)

As we see throughout the book so far Scout is not really considered a "girly girl" with her brother even mentioning that and this quote shows that. The significance is that it exemplifies her maturity level relating to the beginning of the book. She is a very aggressive person taking Dill's words very seriously and having a very short temper when it came to that.

"When Atticus was out of earshot Jem yelled after him: "I thought I wanted to be a lawyer but I ain't so sure now!" (66)

Jem is someone who we haven't really seen in depth yet but, we have started to see a weird relationship with his father due to him not having a very strong relationship with him like Scout. As this quote conveys the message of Scout not wanting to fill his fathers shoes we see a very powerful response from Jem which shows him as a very egotistical character.

# data[].attributes.body
"Atticus sat down in the swing and crossed his legs. His fingers wandered to his watchpocket; he said that was the only way he could think." (39)

I think this quote shows me beneath the surface. As we know Atticus isn't really the most parent figure compared to Calpurnia who has taught the children and mostly raised them. I feel like this demonstrates that Atticus is trying to be the best parent he can be and yet has trouble doing so but is trying with he taking time to sit and talk to Scout.

"She was furious, and when she was furious Calpurnia's grammar became erratic." (32)

"He had discarded the abominable blue shorts that were buttoned to his shirts and wore real short pants with a belt; he was somewhat heavier, no taller, and said he had seen his father." (48)

He is seen as a heavier man and when arriving back after Scout explains how he has changed in both his appearance and how he acts which illustrates the changes that are to maybe come from his character later on.

"...but when the sheriff arrived he found Boo still sitting in the living room, cutting up the Tribune.  He was thirty-three years old then." (13).

"'What a morbid question. But I suppose it's a morbid subject. I know he's alive, Jean Louise, because I haven't seen him carried out yet."(57)

With Miss Maudie saying this we get to see from, someone who has been in the town for a very long time, their perspective of Arthur Radley. This quote expands the amount of time that Arthur has been in the house for and the almost dedication that he has to staying there not making friends with even Miss Maudie who has again spent a very long time in the town.

Miss Caroline's inexperienced teaching style and the way she has treated Scout could have led Scout to be immature and bully Miss Caroline for being overwhelmed. Instead, however, she holds back and almost feels sorry, despite bening treated horribly.

"He ain't company, Cal, he's just a Cunningham-'" (33),

Even though she is only 6 year old, this quote brings to light how Scout see's those in her community.  Just because of Walter's last name, she doesn't see him as a guest in her home.  This foreshadows how she may feel -or think she feels- about the majorly oppressed of the time; African Americans.

Signifiance: This quote illustrates the idea that althout Jem wanted to appear confident and fearless, he was in fact scared of going up to the Radley's place and having to talk to Boo.

"We snuck under a barbed wire fence and through a creaky gate into the Radley’s yard.  We had to be very quiet, and I was so nervous!  We gave Dill a boost up to look in the window, but he didn’t see anything.  So we went around back and Jem crept across the porch and peeked in a window.  That was when I noticed the shadow. "

"Inside the house lived a malevolent phantom. People said he existed, but Jem and I had never seen him. People said he went out at night when the moon was down and peeped in windows." (10)

This quote displays how naive and childish Scout is early on in the chapters. Because she sees the world this way, it characterizes her as not knowing much about the reality of situations and her biases often obscure her view.

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view--until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."  (30)

This quote is important in portraying Atticus' character as being intelligent, wise, and empathetic. He understands things seem different from other point of views and unlike most others in the novel, he is open-minded and not ignorant.

"I thought I wanted to be a lawyer but I ain't so sure now."  (66)

This quote, although at first it may seem simple, indirectly illustrates the similar level of naivete that Jem has. It demonstrates his limited knowledge of the justice system and childish outlook on things.

“There's some folks who don't eat like us," she whispered fiercely, "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?” (32)

This quote reveals that Calpurnia may seem strict in the eyes of Scout, but she is actually quite motherly and looks out for her. She acknowledges that not everyone is the same and respects it, and expects Scout to hold these same values.

"I mean I can smell somebody an' tell if they're gonna die. An old lady taught me how ... Jean—Louise—Finch, you are going to die in three days." (48)

This quote portrays the playful, yet odd and eager-for-attention Dill with his claim. It's another example of one of his stories told to Scout and Jem as a way of gaining their admiration or attention and reflects on his eccentric character.

"...six and a half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch.  There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time." (16)

This quote is another example of the rumors and mysteriousness surrounding Boo, as the kids and even adults in Maycomb gossip about him because he is seen as different. It illustrates the idea that Boo is seen this way because of perceived or exaggerated mental health issues that are stigmatized or antagonized in the town.

"I told Jem if he set fire to the Radley house I was going to tell Atticus on him." (15)

This demonstrates part of Scout's child-like behavior. We can see her threading to tell on Jem just as a typical 6 year old would. This is a great contrast to other scenes in the book where she may appear more mature than her age.

"Dill was a curiosity." (8)

Dill has such a bold personality and we haven't seen him truly fear anything. He's very adventurous and his take on adventure pushes Jem and Scout as their friendship grows closer.

"The Radley's welcome anywhere in town, kept to themselves, a predilection unforgivable in Maycomb." (10)

This quote demonstrates the stereotype and misconception of the Radley's. It builds the Radley's and especially Boo out to be something that they aren't. We don't get to see anything from a Radley perspective, but the massive interest the town invades on their lives could be why they keep to themselves, I would too.
