In Chapter 14 of Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird", Aunt Alexandra tells Atticus that she doesn't think that he needs dismiss his maid, Calpurnia, from her duties. Atticus tells her that he sees no reason to fire her because she is a part of the family now and the children love her.
Atticus disagrees with Alexandra, emphasizing Calpurnia's role in their household and her importance as a mother figure to the children. He acknowledges Calpurnia's loyalty and devotion to their family, highlighting her irreplaceable role in their lives. Atticus values Calpurnia's presence and sees her as an integral part of their family structure.
Atticus tells Aunt Alexandra that Cal is family and she will not leave until she wants to leave. He tells her that she has been part of this family and they need her, even with Aunt Alexandra.
Atticus says that Cal is anecessary person and part of their family as nuch as anyone else. He basicaly tells Aunt Alenandra that Cal is staying.
Atticus told Alexandria that Calpurnia would stay until she was ready to leave them. He referred to her as being part of the family.
Atticus says that right now they need Cal more than ever and she will stay.
tells her Cal is part of the family same as the rest
He is completely against it. Calpurnia is like a substitute mother to Jem and Scout, and the family would be pretty much lost without her.
Atticus told Alexandria that Calpurnia would stay until she was ready to leave them. He referred to her as being part of the family.
Atticus responds by explaining that Calpurnia is more than just a cook or maid, she is an important part of their family who has raised and cared for his children. He values her role in their lives and believes they still need her presence and care.
atticus was upset because he did so much work for the trial.
She was shocked and surprised by Atticus' news, but also grateful and relieved that he shared it with her. She thanked him for being open and honest with her.
she asked many questions then left
Scout learns from Atticus to have empathy, understanding, and to not judge others too quickly. Atticus advises her to try to see things from others' perspectives and to respond with kindness and compassion rather than anger or judgment.
Alexandra thinks Atticus should dismiss Calpurnia because she believes Calpurnia is no longer needed to care for the children. Atticus responds by firmly stating that Calpurnia is a member of the family and greatly valued for her role in raising the children. He dismisses Alexandra's suggestion and reaffirms his appreciation for Calpurnia's contribution to their family.
Unfeeling
Atticus does not know how to respond because he understands the harsh reality of racial prejudice and injustice in the court system. He knows that despite the evidence in favor of Tom Robinson, the jury's decision may be influenced by societal biases against African Americans. Atticus is aware of the challenges of seeking justice in a racially divided community and is prepared for the possibility of an unjust outcome.
You hurt them too badly; they dont want you anymore
Atticus understands that Mrs. Dubose is facing her own struggles and is dealing with illness and addiction. He sees her insults as a result of her pain and tries to show empathy and compassion towards her instead of taking offense. Atticus chooses to respond with patience and kindness rather than with anger or hurt feelings.
He wouldn't respond, he just ran away from the supposedly created utopia because he couldn't take anymore of the cruel and very unreasonable things the society was doing.
