Go Set a Watchman and To Kill a Mockingbird Comparison (Setting/Time…

- - - - Not the same as it was in TKAM I think Calpurnia has seen so much change since TKAM, and with Jem and Scout being away, she has forgotten that they were more than just white people
        
        So true
        
        What about when she talks about visiting Calpurnia 2 years ago, after Jem died? Was it like this then? If not, what has changed?
      - Why wouldn't she, she is taking care of a privileged family while so many of her friends and family are struggling financially and are victims of racism.
        
        Having read TKAM, do you think she hated them there?
        
        The question Jean Louise is really asking is whether Calpurnia always felt this way, or whether something has changed. What do you think?
        
        I think something has changed because it seemed like Cal. was always a mother to the kids
- - - - I though it said they were black lawyers who waited for a felony of a black man against a white man.
        
        They used every trick they have to bring the case up to a Federal Court so that the black man has a much higher chance of winning the case
        
        Why would they want to do this? What are they trying to accomplish by taking on these felony cases?
        
        "they try to force the judge into error. Above all else, they try to get the case not federal court where they new the cards are stacked in their favor." (149)
        
        raise awareness in the government so that they can change a law against segregation which eventually suceeds
        
        ...they demand Negroes on juries in such cases. (GSAW 149)
      - National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
- - - - super old
        
        She went into the house, went to the kitchen, and sat down at the table. She looked at the grotesque eating equipment Alexandra put by his plate. Atticus drew the line at having someone feed him, an Dr. Finch solved the problem by jamming the handles of a fork, knife, and spoon into the ends big wooden spools (GSAW 145)
        
        why does she say eating equipment and not silverware
      - Calpurnia questions
        whether he will try his
        hardest in the case or not
        
        Will he? What do we know about his approach to this case?
        
        "Hank, I suspect when we know all the facts in the case the best that can be done for the boy is for him to plead guilty. Now, isn't it better for us to stand up with him in court that to have him fall into the wrong hands?"
        A smile spread slowly across Henry's face. "I see what you mean Mr. Finch"
        "Well, I don't," said Jean Louise. "What wrong hands?" Atticus turned to her. "Scout, you probably don't know it, but the NAACP-paid lawyers are standing around like buzzards down here waiting for things like this to happen--"
        148
        
        I feel like Atticus has lost hope and is susceptible to the ways of the South
        
        "Hank, I suspect when we know all the facts in the case the best that can be done for the boy is to plead guilty. Now, isn't it better for us to stand up with him in court than to have him fall in the wrong hands?" (148) GSAW
        
        What would have caused this to happen? Why would he suddenly have changed such a fundamental thing about himself?
        
        Do you guys think the NAACP can be bad in this case?
      - he seems to care for his sister more than he used to
        
        Who takes care of who?
        
        Alexandria takes care of Atticus
- - - - it lost its tradition
        
        Where do you see this?
      - Does Scout seemed especially concerned about tradition? In TKAM?
      - Now she was aware of a sharp apartness, a separation not from Atticus and Henry merely. All of Maycomb and Maycomb County were leaving her as the hours passed, and she automatically blamed herself .
        (GSAW 154)
  - - - Doesn't understand what has happened to the people she remembered as a child
        
        Quote for this?
    - - What is her attitude towards/relationship with Aunt Alexandra now?
        
        She listens to her and she respects her more
        
        Alexandra says at one point that they should be put in their place
