CHAPTER THREE

11 comments:

  1. Chapter 3
    Who is Calpurnia? What is her place in the Finch household?

    What is Walter Cunningham like? What does his behaviour during lunch suggest about his home life?

    What do you think of the way Atticus treats Walter?

    Does Scout learn anything from Walter's visit? What do you think this is?

    Atticus says that you never really understand a person “until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”. What does this mean? Is it an easy thing for Scout to learn? (In the last chapter of the novel, Scout repeats this, but she changes “skin” to “shoes” - this is probably not a mistake: Harper Lee suggests that Scout cannot clearly recall exactly what Atticus said and when, but the reader can check this!)

    What do you learn in this chapter about the Ewells?

  2. What do you learn in this chapter about the Ewells?

    I learned that the Ewells are a very poor and dirty family because they can't afford very much stuff, they never shower and Burris has "Cooties" in his hair. The family is also very rude because Burris calls his teacher a "Snot-nosed slut". This is what i learned about the Ewells.

    I belive scout learned an important lesson from Walter's visit. Scout learned that not everyone is the same we all do things differently and if someone does something different than you, its not your job to judge them in any way.

  6. Who is Calpurnia? What is her place in the in the Finch house?

    Calpurnia is the cook for the finch house. She cooks all their meals and while atticus is at work and they aren't at school she is the boss. Calpurnia and scout always seem to get fights or arguments about some thing. Thats who Calpurnis is and what she does at the finch house.

  7. What is Walter Cunningham like? What does his behaviour during lunch suggest about his home life?

    Walter Cunningham is a poor child. Walter is a farm boy "who probaly hasn't seen three quarters together at the same time in his life". When the teacher Miss Caroline offerd Walter a quarter so he could buy lunch he could not accept it because "the cunninghams never took anything they can't pay back".Walters behaviour at durring lunch may suggest his home life was hard work, and that his family is poor.

  8. What do you think of the way Atticus treats Walter?

    I think Atticus treats Walter with respect. I dont think Walter will do well in school so when Walter goes to Atticus's house for lunch Atticus talks about what Walter will know well about like farming and what interests Walter.

  9. Atticus says that you never really understand a person “until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”. What does this mean? Is it an easy thing for Scout to learn?

    You never really understand a person until you consider things from there point of view. Or until you climb into his skin and walk around in it. I think that Scout did learn fast fro this saying because she gave an example with Moss. Caroline and how she was new to Maycomb and how she didn't know much about this town.
