Good things.. and Bad things..

Sabrina Jackson

Q: How do you think the story (what you read so far) would have changed if Scout and

Jem had a mother present in their lives? Would it change for the better or for the

worse? Explain your thoughts.

Journal #6

If Jem and Scouts mom were their lives would change, for the better. If she

was their Scout would act more like a lady, because scout is around a lot of boys

like her dad, brother, and Dill. Aunt Alexandra wouldn't be there with them. I don't

think Aunt Alexandra is a good influence on the kids because she races, and the kids

hate her. Cal is kind of like their mother she give them advice, punishes them when

they do wrong, and the kids love her.


The bad things about the mother being there is the dad wouldn't be close

to the kids as much as the mother. Because he works a lot and the mother would do

most of the work with the kids. Cal wouldn't be there because the mom does the

cooking and the cleaning. They might also be races because Cal not their and they

don't have African American influence, and would believe the people that talk about

them.
