Chapters 12-14
Because of Tom being on trial fro Rapping the white girl, no one will hire his wife. They judge her basaed on the accusations against her husband. Not only that though, but they also wont hire her because she is a black woman, and during this time period, many people didnt like blacks.
Throughout the book, Scout is growing. She is getting bigger in age, size, etc., but she is also maturing. Because she has spent so much time with Calpurnia, she has learned a lot from her. She realizes the right and wrong times to do things and learns how to respecct peoples deciscions.
In the year the book is set in, many people believed that the boys where better and girls should follow the phrase, "be seen and not heard", or they were viewed as annoying. Calpurnia doesnt care that Jem is eating a lot, simply because he is a boy.
Aunt Alexandia does not like Calpurnia. She disagrees with her working for the finchs because she is black and she doesnt think that she is important to the Finchs, so she wants to let her go. She does not even know Cal, yet she already wants to fire her.
In my opinion, Aunt Alexandra is a racist. she doesnt like Calpurnia simply because she is black. She has no reason to dislike her, but she does.
