Calpurnia
The colored woman who cooks for the Finch family, Calpurnia is the surrogate
mother in the family because Scout�s mother died when Scout was only two.
She and Scout have a love-hate relationship that eases when Scout finally
starts school. Calpurnia is the source of many arguments between Atticus and
his sister, Alexandra, because Alexandra wants Atticus to let Cal go, but
Atticus insists that she is part of the family and so she remains.
You have assumed the role of Calpurnia. You are to describe your life as a
black woman in the Deep Sout during the 1930's. You need to also include
what is is like working for a white family and helping raise two white
children.
