Today I will be going on a rant about Lula say get your reant hearing ears ready. Lula is a African American women we meet in this chapter and she goes to the same church as Calpurnia. Lula is a tall woman with a ignorant attitude in my opinion. Calpurnia runs into her in church while she brought Jem and Scout along. Lula starts going on a rant about how Scout and Jem shouldn’t be their. She talks about how their people aren’t supposed to be together( White and Black). This seems awkward to me since her people are trying to break barriers so they have the same rights as them and are treated equally. Why would she try to derail that progress she and her people have started to make.
My main disagreement with Lula is with the way she treated Scout and Jem. One of your people is being wrongly convicted most likely, and can only find one decent lawyer to help you. THAT happens to be Scout and Jem’s father. She must’ve been extreemely ignorant not to pick that up. If that was any other lawyer, and they figured out you talked to their children like that they would leave you. Luckily they got a great person in Atticus to help them through the trial. Hopefully next time Lula will learn the error of her ways.
A story I have that relates to this is once I let someone borrow my xbox since his gaming console was broken. I would expect some gratitude, but right after they got their console fixed they didn’t say thankyou. They even acted meaner then before. That really annoyed me so That’s kinda what I would think Atticus would feel if he chose to be hurt by how Lula treated Jem and Scout. This story in the big picture is a lot smaller than a actual trial so Lula should be really thankful.
I really liked your blog post Faraes. I especially liked how you pointed out that if Atticus wasn't Tom's lawyer they would leave you. Finally, I liked how you connected it to your life in the final paragraph.
