How do Scout's and Calpurnia's ideas of company differ?

Answer 1

1. Scout feels that company is someone who you know and is in your caste, "He ain't company, Cal, he's just a Cunningham…" (24). On the other hand, Calpurnia feels that any guest in the house is company and should be treated equally no matter which caste.

Answer 2

Scout views company as a time to have fun and play, while Calpurnia sees it as an opportunity to socialize and show respect for guests through good manners and proper behavior. Scout's approach is more carefree and casual, while Calpurnia's is more structured and traditional.
