Chapter 13


Questions:
1. Related to this chapter, discuss who is or are the victims?
2. Why did the aunt wanted to learn Scout about her family?
3. Discuss why does Atticus let Alexandra live with them?
4. What do you think about the idea of treating kids as they are treated by Alexandra? Would you do like her? Why or why not?

Literary Luminary:

Page 128 paragraph 4. I chose this paragraph because I found that part funny.
Page 129 paragraph 2. This passage is saying that Aunt Alexandra is slowly moving into her their lives.
Page 131 paragraph 3. This paragraph has a detailed expaination of how Mayconb works its sort of like part of their Maycomb Code.
Page 132 paragraph 1. I chose this passage because I liked the way how Aunt Alexandra is trying so hard to impress people with Scout and then she get embarrased by her.


Summary:

In this chapter Scout and Jem’s aunt had to stay with them. She told Atticus to tell his kids that they are Finches and they have to behave like it, and Atticus did it but wasn’t comfortable. He then told them to ignore what he had said.

Picture:
I chose this picture because it portrays Aunt Alexandra's arrival to Atticus's house. When Aunt Alexandra settles in she argues with Atticus about how he raises his kids and how she wants Scout to be more lady-like. She also complains to Atticus about letting Scout and Jem go to Calpurnia's home until he came for them. So from my reasoning Aunt Alexandra was making some kind of an imbalance in Atticus's household because she was complaining too much.
