3/1015
The New Teacher Miss Caroline Fisher was new to Maycomb. She didn’t know Maycomb’s way or the ways of it’s people. Miss Caroline was Scout’s first grade teacher. Scout was very excited for her first day of school, but she knew the rules, she wasn’t allowed to play with Jem at recess or follow him around during school. She didn’t know that she couldn’t speak like how she spoke at home. What Scout didn’t know is that she had another thing coming.
This part of the story takes place in Maycomb, Alabama. This is Scout’s first day of school. Miss Caroline Fisher is Scout’s teacher. The school was an old and tired as was
Maycomb. This was the time of the depression and Jim Crow Laws, where racism was big.
Poor vs. rich, black vs. white and KKK.
Miss Caroline asked who had their lunch, everyone but Walter had had their hands up.
Walter was one of the Cunningham’s. “The Cunningham’s were a poor family and didn’t take anything they knew they couldn’t pay back. Walter had hookworms from walking with no shoes and no lunch from being poor.” When Scout got home she had a talk with Atticus.
Atticus had explained to her that the Cunningham’s situation was not for her to talk about.
However, is Scout knew that she wouldn’t have said what she did. This was because she hadn’t “come of age.” In her mind saying what she did about the Cunningham’s wasn’t immature. Miss Caroline offered Walter a quarter for him to go in town to have lunch. Walter could not accept her offer. Scout stood up for Walter because Walter was embarrassed. She told Miss Caroline that “Walter was one of the Cunningham’s” and sat back down, expecting
Miss Caroline would understand. This shows that Scout is immature and spoke her mind
without thinking about what she was really saying. Scout didn’t know any better because that was the way she was taught at home.
Scout should’ve learned from her mistake and used it as an opportunity to grow a little
