Who is Calpurnia? What is her place in the Finch household?
Calpurnia is the Finch's maid/cook, who took over as a mother figure for Jem and Scout after their mother's death.
What is Walter Cunningham like? What does his behaviour during lunch suggest about his home life?
He is a poor boy who lives on a famr and has been through the first grade many times. He likely syrups his food because he cannot do that at home, where food is hard to come by.
What do you think of the way Atticus treats Walter?
He knows Walter's life is probably not so good at home, which may be why he lets Walter drown his food in syrup, and likely has a respect for Walter's father
Does Scout learn anything from Walter's visit? What do you think this is?
She learns that all company are guests, no matter who they are, and you are to let them eat your table cloth (show respect t them)
Atticus says that you never really understand a person “until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”. What does this mean? Is it an easy thing for Scout to learn?
It means that you need to see things from there point of view (or maybe a 'Silence of the Lambs'-esc way). Scout probably doesn't learn it right away (six year-olds hardly ever learn thing the first go around), but it certainly is taken to heart as she gets older.)
What do you learn in this chapter about the Ewells?
They live near the dump like animals, there are a lot of them, and the family is given special case rights to not have to go to school and the father can hunt out of season. They are a nasty people
