Aunt Alexandra Comes to Town (SDH's class)


  • Chapter 13/14: What affect does Aunt Alexandra have on the routines of Atticus, Jem, and Scout?


Aunt Alexandra results in some change for Atticus, Jem and Scout.  When Aunt Alexandra comes she is focuses on sticking to her morals and she tries to make Jem and Scout stick to good morals as well as, all of them hear a lot more about everyone in the town and current events in the town.  The person who Aunt Alexandra coming has the biggest effect on is Scout.  Aunt Alexandra tries to make scout much more lady like and where more dresses.  Also, she attempts to get Scout to socialize with the missionary circle as well as get her more integrated with the community of ladies in Maycomb.  lastly she strives to rid her of the things Scout does that makes her more of a tomboy.  In chapter 13 aunt Alexandra even says, “We decided that it would be best for you to have some feminine influence.”  Aunt Alexandra did try to change Atticus, Jem, but most of all, Scout.
