Who is Calpurnia? What is her place in the Finch household?  She is the black maid and mother figure.
What is Walter Cunningham like? What does his behaviour during lunch suggest about his home life? He is a poor farmer
What do you think of the way Atticus treats Walter? He treats him well as a respected house guest.
Does Scout learn anything from Walter's visit? What do you think this is? Yes, she learns how to treat house guests.
Atticus says that you never really understand a person “until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”. What does this mean? Is it an easy thing for Scout to learn? (In the last chapter of the novel, Scout repeats this, but she changes “skin” to “shoes” - this is probably not a mistake: Harper Lee suggests that Scout cannot clearly recall exactly what Atticus said and when, but the reader can check this!) It means that you cannot clearly understand a person unless you experience what he or she is experiencing. No, it is not easy for her to learn.
What do you learn in this chapter about the Ewells? They don’t believe they have to go to school, they have no mother, they are looked down upon even more than the lowest class of Macom’s society.
