Ch. 12
1. Comment on Jem's and Scout's visit to First Purchase Church. What does Scout learn about how black people live?
2. Explain why Calpurnia speaks differently in the Finch household, and among her neighbours at church.
1. They were supposed to assist to the church like every Sunday, but this time, Atticus wasn't in town, so they went with Cal. They were accepted buy the coloured people, instead of one lady, who was repelled by Cal. They were impressed because the people didn't had hymns, because they hadn't the money and they didn't know to read.
2. Because she needed to state a difference. People in the church was poor and speak using negro slang, and she was supposed to use this slang because they didn't wan't someone correcting them all the time. But when she was in the Finch's house she needed to be polite and respectful.
Ch. 13
3. Aunt Alexandra thinks Scout is "dull" (not clever). Why does she think this, and is she right?
4. How does Aunt Alexandra involve herself in Macomb's social life?
5. Comment on Aunt Alexandra's ideas about breeding and family, in contrast to Atticus' visions. Who's right, do you think? Why?
3. Because Scout is not the lady she expect to be. She is a tomboy and Aunt Alexandra is very traditional.
4. She invites ladies to the house , making joints, but is to make Scout a lady as she expected
5. I think Atticus is right because he believes thta everyone have the right to be whatever they want. But that is related with the context of reception, maybe in that time it was correct to be traditionalist, but for me isn´t correct.
Ch. 14.
6. Comment on Atticus' definition of rape. How suitable is this definition as an answer to Scout?
6. He is very intelligent in this case, because he makes an exact definition without using any term that could affect Scout
