What happens to Miss Maudie's house in 'To Kill A Mockingbird'?

Answer 1

Probably due to the Great War. Miss Maudie is a childhood friend of Uncle Jack. Uncle Jack is Atticus' younger brother so, in 1933, Uncle Jack and Miss Maudie were about 40 - 45 years of age. The U.S entered the Great War in 1917 - 16 years before the time of this novel. Miss Maudie may have been 24-29 years of age and so too her husband. When we encounter Miss Maudie in chapter 5 she attacks nut grass in her yard like the Second Battle of Marne fought in 1918. Is this reference coincidental?

Answer 2

Miss Maudie's house burns down in 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' but she remains positive, seeing it as an opportunity to downsize. The community comes together to support her, showing the strength of their bond.

Answer 3

She died when scout was 2, and Jem was 6
Scout's mother died when Scout was 2 years old, so she does not remember her mother.
she died
Harper Lee, the author does not reveal that explicitly, but the suggestion is she died suddenly. Jem remembers her so it can not be that long ago.
When Scout was two years old, their mother had a heart attack and died. Scout really didn't remember but jem remembers and he misses her a lot.

Answer 4

Their mother died when Scout was two of a heart attack.
Scout's and Jem's mother died from heart attack
She died of a heart attack before the events in the book took place, when Scout was two years old and Jem was six. Scout does not remember her at all, but sometimes Jem will stop while playing because he remembers her and is saddened by the loss of her.
