Acrostic by Mitch An old lady Likes women to be proper Eats politely eXample of proper women An old fashioned women Nice to Jim Dreads Scout not acting like a lady Represents old south Is proper A maternal figure in scouts life

Fine and polite Ideals of old south Not a tom boy Calpurnia is not liked by her Hates Atticus's way of parenting

I am poem by Mitch

I am proper. I wonder why Atticus raised a tom boy. I hear Scout talking about going to Calpurnia's house OH LORD! I see the unchanging people of Maycomb. I want my way of parenting. I am proper. I pretend that Atticus eats his Pig Knuckles with manners. I feel like the Finch children are starting to grow up. I touch the lives of the Finch Family, even though they don't think so. I worry this town will destroy the innocent minds of Scout and Jem. I cry about the prejudice in this town when nobody is looking. I am proper. I understand what women are supposed to do and look like. I say what people expect from women. I dream Scout will become a lady and fit into society. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">I try to help the Finch's. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">I hope they will survive this incident <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 160%;">I am proper.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Dear Diary, <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Today was the trial. I wonder why Atticus even tries, a nigger will never win a trial in this town. No matter how good of an argument Atticus makes, won't do no good. The jury in this town will always rule in favor of a white man. The kids gave me quite a scare. They ran off to the trial around noon. I looked all over for them and couldn't find them. When they came home I shoulda skinned their hides. Oh and Jem, I can't believe that he let Scout go to the trial. That is no place for a young lady. With all the cussin' and volgarity its no place for the likes of her. Those niggers really liked Atticus though, they sent him all kinds of food, even the pickelled pig knuckles which he ate at the table. No wonder his kids eat like slobs, he has no table manners himself. That Bob Ewell then spit in his face at the post office, but what do ya expect? Any man who defends a negro is gonna get it. I can't imagine what this town is going to do to him. <span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; line-height: normal;"> <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">Quotes from Aunt Alexandria by Mitch

__Diary Entry__

December 26, 1943 Dear Diary, My brother and his family came over for Christmas again. I am frazzled! Atticus is not bringing up his children correctly. I have told him time and time again what to do. The first thing would be to get rid of his cook Calpurnia. She is a bad influence for the children. The next thing would be to fix Jean Louise. She needs to be called by her proper name and not that other thing they called her. I think it is Scout. The next thing would be to make her wear a dress instead of those raggedy overalls she wears. A young lady needs to dress properly. Another thing Atticus needs to do is teach that girl some manners. Last night, Francis and she were playing outside and Jean Louise punched Francis. She is a disgrace! She should be in the kitchen learning how to cook or sew, not running around like a boy. I am going to talk to Atticus about staying with them for a while so there is some female influence in those children. Yours, Alexandra Finch
