love everybody

Until you climb into his skin and walk around it

Keep those fists down

Listen

fighting with your head

Be the bravest person

know what real courage is

you know your licked before you begin

But 

You begin anyway

hold your head high

Keep those fists down

Stand Up 

and 

walk away 

thats 

real courage

Scout

Prompt: Character Relationships

Miss.Maudie and Calpurnia are same alter egos because they both have a strong connection to the Finch family. The two characters also have good relationships with the kids. Like how Cal takes more of the motherly role of the family and Mrs. Maudie lets them play in her yard she also has a good relationship with Scout. One other way that they are the same is that they both are in the later stages of there life.

Some foils between the two characters are that Cal is a lot more strict with the kids and Mrs.Maudie is more friendly with the kids. Like how Mrs.Maudie lets them use her yard and how she talks to them very friendly. On the other hand Cal has to be a little more strict with the kids because she is more like the mother in the family. Another difference is that Cal is black and Mrs.Maudie is white. Mrs.Maudie is white so she would be respected in most places but on the other hand even though Cal is respected in the Finch household she probably would not be respected in many other places.

The two characters have a good relationship with Scout. Mrs.Maudie for example when Jem and Dill ditched Scout Mrs.Maudie helped Scout by talking to her telling her stories and things like that. Mrs.Maudie also supports Atticus and his decisions which means a lot to Scout. Cal a strong relationship with scout sometimes rocky but strong nonetheless. Cal sometimes yells at Scout a bit more then I would like. al does teach scout some important lessons and gets them engraved in Scouts head. These two characters have helped Scout become the young girl she is. Cal taut Scout discipline and manners. Mrs.Maudie taut Scout different stories that had moral values and also if Mrs.Maudie didn't help Scout when she was all alone scout could have turned into a very lonely girl and would have been a very different character then what she is now.
