Explain the difference in the definitions of Fine Folk from Scout and Aunt Alexandra?
Aunt Alexandra believes that Fine Folk has to do with ones upbringing. Their family heritage. Scout mentions that Aunt Alexandra is of the belief that the longer a person's family has "squatted on a piece of land" the finer they are. This suggests that she means money, as well as social standing as an indicator of what makes a person "fine." Scout, on the other hand, suggests that "Fine Folk" means the hard work, dedication and morality of a person. She has obviously been raised with this understanding, presumably from Atticus, as it is not a common belief in this day. Aunt Alexandra focuses on the monetary and social while Scout looks at the moral and ethical.
