To get her out of the house
She says I didn't ask you, I asked him (and was referring to Atticus.
Scout is upset that Aunt Alexandra won't let her visit Calpurnia because she sees Cal as part of her family. Scout values her relationship with Calpurnia and doesn't understand why her aunt is trying to keep them apart.
Aunt Alexandra asks Atticus to explain the children because she disapproves of their behavior and wants Atticus to instill in them a sense of proper behavior and manners. She believes Atticus should be more authoritative and involved in their upbringing.
In To Kill a Mockingbird, the housekeeper's name was Calpurnia. Harper Lee's book was published in1960. It was released as a movie in 1962. The part of Calpurnia was played by Estelle Evans.
Aunt Alexandra thinks that Atticus isn't 'parental' enough with Jem and Scout.He doesn't make them call him 'Dad' or 'Father', they call him 'Atticus.' He also doesn't make Scout wear dresses like a girl should (in Aunt Alexandra's opinion) because he knows she'll be hanging out with Jem, climbing trees, climbing fences, etc.He talks to his children like he talks to other adults; he treats them as equals which Aunt Alexandra thinks is incorrect. In her world, adults treat children in an authoritarian manner (boss them around), they don't ask their opinion or explain things to them, they just issue orders.
Atticus explains to Scout that Jem does indeed have a mind of his own, just like everyone else. He encourages Scout to continue to be curious and ask questions, but to also be considerate and respectful of others' perspectives and feelings. Atticus values open communication and believes in fostering a strong sense of empathy and understanding within his children.
Atticus asks the children to live up to their name, as per Alexandra's instructions. She asks that they try to behave like a little lady and a little gentleman.
Aunt Alexandra is most preoccupied with upholding the family's reputation and legacy. She focuses on the Finch family's social standing in Maycomb and believes in maintaining traditional Southern values and customs. She is particularly concerned with instilling proper behavior and manners in Scout and Jem as they grow up.
