Why Is Calpernia A Good Mother Figure

In the book so far we have been faced with a new character whose name is Aunt Alexandra. She is Atticus's sister and a strong believer to the rules of womenship.

If they know Atticus then they probably respect him for his work or he may have even helped the person. This is shown because in the book because Walter said “Get aside from the door, Mr. Finch; which mean they do not want to hurt
