This shows Atticus loves Maycomb. Everyone in the town is aware of or related to him, which proves that he is well-connected and loved. Atticus’s kids, Jem and Scout, are well-known, too. A prediction I made was that Atticus’s wife must not have been around, since she was not mentioned at all.
This quote introduces Calpurnia, who is a mother figure for the kids throughout the book. Comparing her hand to a board is an example of a simile.

It also shows how important Calpurnia is.
This quote shows how badly Scout doesn’t want to go to school. She asks Atticus to teach her
