What is a description of the Cunningham family in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Answer 1

Scout uses the phrase when remarking that she, Jem, and Dill are dramatizing the gazillionth chapter of their imaginative version of the life of the recluse Boo, since any of Harper Lee's contemporaries would have recognized her reference to "One Man's Family," a radio drama that ran from 1932 to 1959, to which she was comparing the ongoing serial of Boo's life which the the three children have been acting out.

Answer 2

The Cunningham family is a poor, hardworking family from the rural area of Maycomb. They are shown to be proud but struggling financially, often paying Atticus Finch with goods instead of money for his legal services. Despite their poverty, they are respected for their strong sense of community and self-sufficiency.

Answer 3

The Cunningham's were the stereotypical, 1930s, lower-class family. The family is poor, but they keep there promises, and return every favor with the fruits of their farming or labor. They are loyal, proud, and hard working. They never ask for anything they can't repay. For example, Atticus helps with some minor law issues, and Atticus found chopped wood and potatos from the Cunninghams as payment.

Answer 4

Directly, Jem and Atticus. Aunt Alexandra and Uncle Jack and the rest of the Finch clan are her family as well.
