Review the foods in To Kill A Mockingbird

     Personally, I feel the food that we saw throughout the book were really good. Some of my favorites were the coffee, chicken, iced tea, etc. However , there were some that didn't settle with me such as the sardines, black eyed peas, collard greens, etc. The thing is, i am very sensitive  to how things look and smell and the ones that I listed that I didn't like look .... unique to me.

     The way that they eat their food are also very unique such as putting maple syrup on meat and plain bread. Thats certainly something that you wouldn't see today, at least in the mid west where we live. Also, sardines aren't very common either. I think it's because of the very strong aroma they give of making people kind of queasy. 

     However, drinks like lemonade, iced tea, and coffee are very very common here in the midwest. I think it's because they are quite easy to change to a persons need. You can make those 3 drinks either sweeter or more bitter based on the amount of sugar you add. Same with the chicken. To can make it crispy or regular. I feel that people in the midwest like to change things to hit our specific needs. If we can't we usually don't like the food, drink, or item.

Atticus

Not everyone is equal

Courage is not a man holding a gun

I wanted to see what real courage was

You rarely win but sometimes you do

Im simply defending a Negro 

When your licked before you begin

Thats what courage is

You will hold your head high

Keep those fists down

This time were fighting our friends

But they are our friends no matter what

Until you climb into his skin and walk around it....

Listen

Make the best of things

Even through we are still struggling

TKAM- Character Relationships.

   
    Aunt Alexandria and Atticus are 2 very uniques characters. They are siblings and of course bicker. There are multiple ways that the 2 are different. There's the obvious one such as Aunt Alexandria is a girl and Atticus is a guy. However, I feel like their personalities are very different. Atticus is easygoing and calm. He can be tough when needed to be but also is very generous with the kids. Aunt Alexandria is the complete opposite. She is very strict with them. She likes to us the real named for the kids such as Jean- Louise instead of Scout. She want's the kids acting their age and gender. She doesn't like how Scout likes to play and get dirty. She rather have her sit down with her girlfriends and talk with them. Also, Aunt Alexandria is very controlling. She doesn't take anytime to settle into the Finches house. One specific part where this is co obvious is when Scout is asking Atticus if she could spend the day with Calpurnia on Sunday. Instead of Atticus answering, Aunt Alexandria does, angrily. She completely despises the idea. Scout gets so angry at her and she  responds with, "I wasn't asking you!"

     There may be differences between these 2 but there is also multiple similarities. One big one is that they both want the best for the kids. Want them to succeed and grow up. The way they achieve that is completely different but they have the same good intentions and morals. They both also care for others. They both involve people and care about them. However, Atticus cares about the actual person as themselves. Aunt Alexandria cares more about what people think rather than the person themselves.

     This may sound absurd but I feel that Aunt Alexandria and scout are Alter egos of each other. As for Atticus and scout, I feel that they are Foils for each other. The relationship between Scout and Aunt A is very very bad because I feel that they are very similar in they way that they don't change their minds. They stick with one answer and don't like being ordered around. As Scout gets older, she starts getting more opinionative and independent just like Aunt Alexandria. Aunt A's effect on Scout is also, of course, bad. She gets Scout so angry. She so far hasn't brought the kids any joy and is always ordering them around.  The reason the I feel that Atticus is a foil for Scout is because he is too easy going and easily persuaded. Like I established a few second ago, Scout has gotten to the point in her life where she sticks to her opinions and doesn't change them However, Atticus's relationship with Scout is very close. They are on a first name basis and can tell each other many things. Since he is so easygoing, Scout likes the fact that she can do a lot of things that normal kids her age wouldn't be able to.
