It shows what Calpurnia has been morphing into through her time with Grandaddy. She is becoming one with nature and not a typical human being, or young lady. She started as more of a typical girl, but never was completely normal. She can’t tatt, sew, knit, or play the piano “marvelously well.” The only thing she is superior at is being herself and training to be a scientist. When Calpurnia begins to chop the cotton with the “short hoe”, and Viola proceeds to yell at her. Callie sees nothing peculiar with this and says, “Why are you so mad? I was only trying it out.” She thinks that the matter of “coming out” is utterly ridiculous and is a waste of time. In this chapter Calpurnia begins to really see how she has changed and how she doesn’t care what she looks like, just like nature. She had become one with the fascinating creation surrounding
