TKM+Chapter+3

Analyze the events during lunch at Scout's house
 * Chapter 3: **
 * At lunch, Atticus treated Walter as if he were an adult as they talked about farming.
 * They talked like “two men”.
 * Walter covered his food in molasses, which shows he may be used to bad or bland food at home.
 * Scout questioned what he was doing.
 * Calpurnia was furious and told Scout she couldn’t question what her company does.
 * Calpurnia said they may be better than the Cunninghams, but it doesn’t count if they disgrace them.

What is the significance of Atticus accepting Walter? How does he show this?
 * It was clear to everyone in the Atticus household that Walter was not as fortunate as they were, and the fact that he poured syrup all over his dinner only further proved his lack of good food.
 * When Atticus accepts Walter, it shows the respect that Atticus has towards all people.
 * Atticus treats children and others as equals, which is shown by the way he talked to Walter Cunningham like an adult, and made sure he felt welcome in his home.
 * Scout is at first convinced her guest is “just a Cunningham,” and does not need to or deserve to be treated so well in her home.
 * Scout then learned from Atticus and Calpurnia about manners and learned that anyone who goes into her house is her company, and she should treat them as welcome guests.

Character description and analysis of Burris Ewell and his family
 * Burris Ewell- not a care in the world, rude, disrespectful, not a great person to be around, doesn’t go to school just because he doesn’t want to, just a filthy person, does whatever he wants, bad temper and an angry child, mean to everyone he encounters, has a bully-like mentality, not afraid of authority, vicious. made Miss Caroline cry and then watched it happen
 * Ewell family- barbaric, obnoxious, the exact opposite of the Finch family, don’t work hard or care about a good education, disgrace to the entire town, don't have a mother, do whatever they want because nobody in town wants to bother to come after them, "live like animals "
 * The Ewells and the Ewell family are just terrible people that don’t follow the laws of the average civilians and don’t listen to anybody. They have the mentality to do what they want when they want without being told to do otherwise. The Ewells follow no rules and nobody stops them. People feel more bothered by them than anything, so they don’t even force them to go to school. They are barbaric people and a disgrace to the entire town. They have nobody who likes them and act like animals, which they are completely alright with.

List Atticus’ lessons – be sure you include the biggest lesson of the entire book
 * Atticus teaches both his children that money is not always important, as you can be the poorest person and still be the best person.
 * Also, Atticus teaches his children that you have to allow people to have their own privacy, as they have the right to make their own choices in life.
 * In addition, Atticus treats everyone equally, no matter if they are a child, no matter their religion, or their skin color.
 * Calpurnia had also said to Scout "Yo' folks might be better'n the Cunninghams but it don't count for nothin' the way you're disgracin' 'em." This taught Scout that if you judge others, you're no better then them.
 * The greatest lesson that Atticus preaches is that you never truly understand a person until you walk in their shoes. His exact words were, "if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view."
