I don't think Atticus has failed though because the kids dress how they please and are very wise for their ages and scout learned to read at a very early age. Atticus's ways of parenting are not tradition but they seem to be working Fri, 17 Apr 2020 12:51:33 -0400 I also agree, I think that this comment shows that Calpurnia's ancestors were slaves so therefore they grew up being afraid of white people and that when they enter the church they are nervous because that is there safe space https://nowcomment.com/documents/194647?scroll_to=1813958 https://nowcomment.com/documents/194647?scroll_to=1813958 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 13:26:31 -0400 I agree that Jem was tired of hiding. I think that he was emotionally hurt and couldn't keep it in any longer and didn't care if he got in trouble at that point. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1753989 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1753989 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 12:47:18 -0400 I agree with Natalie, Atticus is a very wise and encouraging character throughout. Atticus is trying to raise the kids to be empathetic and see the best in people. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1753981 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1753981 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 12:47:18 -0400 I feel that Scout is slowly understanding and maturing throughout the book and I feel she is beginning to learn when to stop and just stand back and let Jem be. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1752227 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1752227 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 12:47:18 -0400
