  1. I beleve you would find that

    atticus was jusst trying to say that the rednecks of the county might just as well get use to the ideas of blacks , because the blacks were equal to them all and so they need to learn that.


  2. Aunt Alexandra says that the children shouldn't watch Tom Robinson's trial, but Atticus, who's realistic and genuine with his kids, says that they might as well go because trial like these are as common in Maycomb as missionary teas, which I assume are like tea parties for older women.

  3. Well I Just Read The Book

    And Im Pretty Sure That Its Relating To The Tom Robinson Case

    Atticus Is Saying That They Need To Learn With The Negativity Of The Community

    ....Pretty Sure

  4. They will have to cope with it just like the missionaries

  5. It means that you need to accept where you are and what you have.

    All of your "Wordly Belongings" can be defined in many ways. You can even fool yourself into thinking they are something they are not. But, none of it changes what you have and what you are.

    Just be who you are and accept what you have.

  6. In Maycomb county the missionary teas were famous among the ladies just like rasicim (what they have to cope with) is apart  of regular life not only in Maycomb but in times like those. Atticus beleived they should see the trial for that very reason so that they could learn to cope and adjust to the life they had in store for themselves and for the future...

  7. spoon

  8. i have no idea. hope that helps.

  9. I read the book, she is referring to the fact that it is everyone's home, not just white people, but as if everyone should be treated equally.  Majority of the book is focused around fairness, equality, civil rights, etc.  Most of the people in the book are not racist, though of course, some are, but they cannot directly say they are not because of the time era they are living in.  It would be like us saying, "f*** the war!" Even though some do, they do not broadcast it on teeshirts.  It is not appropriate.  But throughout the book, note how some characters will give reference to they are not racist, but cannot openly admit it.  Amazing book, look into the deeper meaning, and it will become real. =)

  10. I'm sorry... I haven't read this in a long time.

    It should be on sparknotes.com

    Good luck.
