To Kill A Mockingbird Calpurnia Quotes
CALPURNIA
Calpurnia enters into the story very early on in To Kill a Mockingbird, and is an integral part in the story. She works for the Finch family as their cook and mother figure. We get a very clear picture of Calpurnia in Chapter One. “She was all angles and bones.” This suggests the maybe she doesn’t have much money to buy food or that she is older. It also shows that she is older because “She had been with us ever since Jem was born, and I had felt her tyrannical presence for as long as I could remember.” She doesn’t take any nonsense from the fact that “Our battles were epic and one-sided.” That Calpurnia had been with the Finches since Jem’s birth suggests that she is part of the family. Atticus trusts her to take care
