Chapters 13-15
To Kill a Mockingbird
1. From the beginning of Chapter 14
"Alexandra, Calpurnia's not leaving this house until she wants to. You may otherwise, but I couldn't have got along without her all these years. She's a faithful member of this family and you'll simply have to accept things the way they are."
2. I chose this quote because it shows how important Calpurnia is to the family and Atticus. She has been with them so long, she is like another part of the family. She has practically been a mother to Jem and Scout, and as Atticus said, they probably wouldn't have gotten along.
3. I think that Calpurnia will become even closer to the family as the book progresses. I have also learned a lot about how Atticus feels about Alexandra saying these things about Calpurnia. Calpurnia has been described as being quite close to the family, but this quote shows exactly how significant she has been in the Finch's lives.
Questions:
1. Do you know anyone like Calpurnia? Not related to you, but very very close to your family? Describe them.
2. Why do you think that Atticus regards Calpurnia this highly?

Questions
1. No, but just like Ms. Maudie, it would be very very interesting if I did have someone like her. Make my life a lot more interesting and I would have different priorities.
2. Because he regards everyone highly. The only people he doesn't regard highly, are people who disrespect him and treat other people badly. He is a very proud and wise man.
Quote
I don't think that Cal will become closer to the family but I think because she is so close, friends of hers will become closer to the family. She seems like even at her house and neighborhood she is a significant person to everyone. So she has a lot of influence on a lot of people.
