Prompt: Think about the two characters in each pair below. Note at least two ways they are alike and two ways they are different. From there, decide what relationship each has with Scout and what effect they have on her. You only need to choose one pair to blog about.
In this blog I am going to compare and contrast the characters Miss Maudie and Calpurnia. These characters have similarities and differences. One thing that is similar about them is they both act like a mother figure for Scout. Since Scout's mother died when she was really young she didn't remember her mother she never had a mother. Calpurnia and Miss Maudie filled that gap and acted like a mother for Scout. Another thing the two have in common is they are both nice people to everyone. From what I read Miss Maudie and Calpurnia haven't hurt anybody in any way.
Though these characters have their similarities they have their differences, too. One difference about the two is their relationship with the Finch family. Calpurnia considered family in the eyes of Scout, Jem, and Atticus. Miss Maudie is their neighbor and a good friend of them. Another thing that's different about Miss Maudie and Calpurnia is their race. They race affects how they are treated in the book and what they have. The church that Calpurnia goes to is poorer than the one Miss Maudie goes to. It's described as, "... was unceiled and unpainted within."
Miss Maudie and Calpurnia have a good relationship with Scout and her family. Like I mentioned earlier Calpurnia is like family to the Finches and a mother to Jem and Scout. Scout can also go to Calpurnia is she feels lonely. Miss Maudie is their neighbor, but Scout can got to her, too, if she feels lonely. Miss Maudie is also a good friend to Scout's father, Atticus.
Both of these character have effected Scout throughout the book. Both Miss Maudie and Calpurnia have been helping Scout when she had questions or was just lonely. For example, when Scout asked Miss Maudie about Atticus and what he can do. They also showed Scout what was right and wrong to do.
