Comment on jem and scouts visit to first purchase church?

Answer 1

Jem and Scout visit First Purchase church with Calpurnia. Reverend Sykes and the congregation, with the exception of Lulu, are glad to have them there. They all know that Atticus is sacrificing a lot to defend Tom Robinson, one of the congregation.

Answer 2

Calpurnia took Jem and Scout to visit her church. The church was old and poor since it belonged to the black community and they did not have enough money. It was an eye- opening experience. Jem and Scout have been used the way Calpurnia behaves in their home, and now they got a chance to see her behavior when she is with her own people, which is quite different. They are especially surprised by her accent when she talks. Through the visit to the church, the kids also find out about the ways of the black community and their financial situation. They also find out about Tom Robinson and the reason he was in jail. Jem and Scout are treated with request due to the request their father, Atticus, has received. Even though, some people are critical of the kids, their father's reputation helps them gain respect.

Answer 3

Jem and Scout's visit to First Purchase Church highlights the racial segregation and discrimination present in Maycomb. It also exposes them to a different way of life and challenges their own beliefs about race. The experience at the church plays a significant role in their understanding of the world around them.
