The conversation Scout has with Miss Maudie the morning after the fire shows that the fire that rages inside of her, cannot be put out like the fire that engulfed her house was. She also didn't make the conversation about her either as she "still took a lively and cordial interest in Jem and [Scout's] affairs," and didn't make them feel sorry for her.

Miss Maudie does not want the children feel sorry for her misfortune. She instead discusses Jem and Scouts "affairs" and let's them be the focus of attention. This is a very motherly thing of her to do. She does not want the children to be sad or have to deal with she has to go through.

Yes, she is very strong. She is also very optimistic. Instead of feeling down, she notes the positives. Such as more room for her flowers now. |

Miss Maudie is a strong parental figure for Scout and Jem, especially with Scout, who finds a friend in her when Jem and Dill exclude her. |

Scout’s conversation reveals Miss Maudie’s ability to maintain having a positive outlook on life and see the best in every situation. She turns the sadness of the destruction of her house and personal belongings into gratitude. We see this when she says, “Always wanted a smaller house…Just think, I’ll have more room for my azaleas now”.

In another way, this also makes Miss Maudie seem as a role model for Scout and Finch. I think it would teach them to be thankful and listen to others, instead of going on about yourself. |

Miss Maudie's outlook on her house burning down is very positive considering the event would be quite horrible. She reassures her positivity on the situation as a whole by mentioning to the children that she had "Always wanted a smaller house", which she then proceeds to explain how she will build a new one. This is very influential for both Jem and Scout as it gives them a good representation of how to turn a negative event into a positive impact.

I think it was good of Miss Maudie to not focus on herself, and make the kids feel sorry for her. It shows the sort of person she is. |

The conversation with Miss Maudie shows that she can turn a moment of sadness into a moment of happiness, as she'll "have more room for [her] azaleas now". With that quote it is showing that even though her house burnt down she can now be happy because she can fit more azaleas in.
