Chapters 12, 13, 14: Analysis Questions

1. Comment on Jem's and Scout's visit to First Purchase Church. What does Scout learn about how black people live?

First of all they realize the reality of this people; the extreme state of povery, most people didn´t know how to read, the different accent that they used (even Calpurnia) and that they were well recibed by this people.
2. Explain why Calpurnia speaks differently in the Finch household, and among her neighbours at church.
Because all people in church speaked with the "black accent" and they could feel ofended if they realize that Calpurnia talks in the "white way".
3. Aunt Alexandra thinks Scout is "dull" (not clever). Why does she think this, and is she right? 
Because she didn´t like the way Scout thought, so she was considered a dull by her. I think that Scout was a very clever girl and Alexandra judge her only because of thinking differently.
4. How does Aunt Alexandra involve herself in Macomb's social life?
She invited people to Atticus house and organized groups of tea with other women. After a while she became part of the social live in town.
5. Comment on Aunt Alexandra's ideas about breeding and family, in contrast to Atticus' visions. Who's right, do you think? Why?
Aunt Alexandra had traditional ideas about family and wanted for Scout to become a lady. On the other hand, Atticus wanted to raise his children on a more free way with a lot of morality involved. I think that aunt Alexandra is a good influence for Scout in that way, so a mix of the two visions I think is the best.
6. Comment on Atticus' definition of rape. How suitable is this definition as an answer to Scout?
He didn´t explain the action well to Scout, maybe to hide her a little from the adults world. I think is suitable for a girl of her age.
