Hi guys. These chapter tells us about Scout's 1st day in school, education and social system in Maycomb.
1)On Scout's 1st day of school, she meets Ms caroline, her 1st grade teacher and many other children of Maycomb.Ms caroline discovered that Scout was literate. Instead of being impressed, she was unhappy that Scout's father( Atticus), taught scout to read. Her response: Told Scout to tell her father that she can take over now, " And try to undo the damage"!
2)This links back to the education of Maycomb: Feels that learning can only take place in school.( And learning at home was considered as a "damage")
3) Social system in Maycomb:
Ppl in Maycomb are divided into different categories, based onn their wealth and family reputation. For instance: The Cunninghams-They are very poor.
Eg:" One morning' Jem and I(scout) fund a load of stovewood in the backyard. Later, a sack of hickory nuts appeared...With Christmas came smilax and holly..Spring, we found a sack full of turnip greens." This shows that the Cunninghams are poor, but they can only pay back Atticus his money in cind. They did not try to run away from debts: Honesty and honourable
All righty! That's all...
