Garvin (Summerizer) Alexandra decided it was time the children should a feminine influence at home. Soon Alex(Alexandra) moved her self in, and soon it felt like she lived there forever. When Alex realized that Scout and Jem don't have a sense of pride concerning their heritages, and no sense of duty towards their name; she told Atticus to show who the Finches were and how they should behave like them. Atticus tried to explain this to Scout and Jem, but he eventually realized that the request that Alex had said he wasn't comfortable with. He told Scout and Jem to ignore what he had said. Scout then realized that the old Atticus is back. Scout said she knows that he was trying to do, but he was only a man. It takes a woman to do that type of work.

 * Have you ever had a relative come over to visit and stay for a week or so? How does it feel? Certainly, your daily life changed quite a bit in order to accommodate your guest or relative. In Chapter 13, Aunt Alexandra comes over to stay for a while and the whole town welcomes her. Scout thinks there was indeed a caste system in Maycomb county (class, rank) and therefore explains that others view people in their rank or "label" them from their past generations; so stereotypes eventually arise such as All Bufords walk like that. These situations happen today in our daily lives. We could still label people and develop stereotypes just because they act or think differently than we do.
