In this last chapter, we learn that Aunt Alexandria has made herself at home. There was alot of things sort of talking about the ignorance of the town. One of the things in it was "If Miss Grace Merriweather sips gin out of Lydia E, Pinkham bottles it is nothing unusual- her mother did the same". This is saying that If she does this odd thing, it isn't unusual, her mother did it, so she does it as well. What if Miss Grace has high moral standards like Atticus, I would assume she would do differently then. I just get annoyed with the ignorance of that town. It becomes too much sometimes.
Then because Aunt Alexandria is in town, Scout has to become a lady. She tells Atticus that Jem and Scout are not living up to the Finch standards. She thins that they are a disgrace to the family. She tells Atticus that he must tell Jem and Scout because they are "embarrasing" her. Now imagine. Your mom or dad going into your room, and telling you that you got a call from your Aunt or Uncle. you get annoyed because they are always annoying or bosy, and you ask your parent what they said. Then your mom or dad tells you to be beter. They tell you that you are a disgrace to the family, Then they just leave.
I would be ashamed, and I am sure you would, too. It would really make you feel emo, and deppresed. This happened to Scout and Jem. Now Atticus wasn't that mean, but he sort of just told his kids to be better. I hope that grt that that would be really hard for a seventh grader, and a second grader to take in. I hope to find out more about this, and try to shape up to my family. Just kidding.

Your title makes your blog post more interesting. It catches the attention of the reader. You summarize pretty well about what happens in chapter 12. I like how you say you and other people would be ashamed if the parents tell you to behave better. I think that's really true. Great blog post Ellie!!
ReplyDeleteNice job Ellie, and I agreed with your thoughts on Aunt Alexandra. Aunt Alexandra is completely ignorant of Maycomb. She acts like a certain family acts a way because of someone in their family like the one about Miss Grace. Also, she is very annoying and being mean to Scout. I agree it would be like your parents being angry since you didn't want to talk to somebody bossing you around.
