Alexandra

The history of Russia has gone through numerous drastic phases, with the transition from an autocracy to communism, and a communist regime to a relatively democratic state, just to name a few.

Historical writings have shown us that interpretations and biases can overtake the writing. It causes monumental…

Aunt Alexandra, Dolphus Raymond, and the Finch’s Landing are some of the main points of the novel that were left out of the first movie. Although, one may argue that these characters/scenes were left out of the first film adaption because they are unimportant, provide no lessons, and are useless towards the plot.

the negroes. Aunt Alexandra in the book at one point refers to the 4 types of families and what they are. “It just goes to show you, all the Penfield women are flighty.” Everybody in Maycomb, it seemed, had a Streak: a Drinking Streak, a Gambling Streak, a Mean Streak, a Funny Streak.

Scout and Jem have almost grown up without their mother around. There are some female figures in their life, but I think Calpurnia is a better mother figure than Aunt Alexandra. Calpurnia is a better mother figure because she interacts better with them rather than Aunt Alexandra. On one night, a deranged dog came into the sights of Scout and Jem. Calpurnia being the protective woman she has guarded the kids when the dog came near. Shortly after she called for someone to take care of the dog.…
