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.
