1.Briefly explain Jem's and Scout's visit to First Purchase church (Calpurnia's church). What do people think/feel about them? How do they feel about this experience?
2.What new things do Scout and Jem learn at this church about how the black people live?
3.Describe Calpurnia's education and her son's education--refer to their literacy.
4.Explain why Calpurnia speaks differently in the Finch household, and among her neighbors at church. How is language different in a workplace and in a social setting and/or around family?
