1. Comment on Jem's and Scout's visit to First Purchase Church. What does Scout learn about how black people live?

Scout didn't know that black were so much poor than whites, and lived in so worst conditions. When she went to the church with calpurnia, Scout could see them and how they were. She recieve nice treats, because Atticus is defending Tom Robinson

2. Explain why Calpurnia speaks differently in the Finch household, and among her neighbours at church.

She, as an employee, must speak formally, because its her work and she must be serious and follow the rules the boss (Atticus) gives. Otherwise they would just get another employee more eficent

She stablish friendship quickly inviting people to the Finch's place

I think Atticus is right, Becayse what realy Aunt Alexandra thinks is that children should act "normal", according to the society, no matter if they are good or bad. But Atticus thinks that kids should reflectionate about what is good and bad, and act as they think it's correct

6. Comment on Atticus' definition of rape. How suitable is this definition as an answer to Scout?

When Scout ask Atticus what is rape, because that is why Tom Robison is accused for doing, Atticus said to his daughter: "Carnal knowledge of a female by force and without her concer". Atticus knew Scout wasn't in an age for understanding all the reproductive process, but by giving the exact definition of rape, he doesn't have to lie for avoiding Scout next question.
