Post 4 To Kill A Mocking Bird

How would Jem and Scout's life would change if they had a mother?

I think it would have changed a lot. It would change the whole story. With their mother around she can keep an eye out for Jem and Scout and when she saw them doing something wrong she would stop them. For example if they tried to put the note in Boo Radley's house she would see that and stop them. She would also keep an eye on Dill and Scout's relationship.
It would also affect the charters personally. Jem and Scout would be closer to their mother than Atticus. Calpurnia would be treated more like a maid than a close family friend. Dill wouldn't be very close to Scout and Jem. She would stop Atticus from defending Tom Robbinson.
I think if Jem and Scout had a mother the story be very boring and not interesting. There would be no climax and no plot. The charters have no meaning. Finally the book itself would not have been a classic. So I think it be a very bad idea to put a mother into the story.

  1. I think that this is a little to short. Otherwise it's very good and well written.

  2. I would change the question to say How would Jem and Scout's life be different had their mother still been alive. But other than that it's fine and could you take away the apps?
