What does Scout's conversation with Miss Maudie the morning after her house burned down reveal about Miss Maudie's overall attitude in the aftermath? Integrate a quote into your answer. When Jem and Scout go over to Miss Maudie's the morning after the fire they are surprised to find she is not at all worried or saddened by the loss of her house. Even as Scout tries to comfort her she says, "don't worry about me Jean Louise Finch." This shows how a negative thing could be turned into a positive as she had "always wanted a smaller house," but whether she didn't actually care about her house or she was being strong in front of the children we don't really know. This would be quite a parental thing to do, be resilient for the sake of the children. |

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. This is a great response! I think it is important because Miss Maudie is quite a motherly figure for Scout especially. |

Scout's conversation with Miss Maudie shows that Miss Maudie has a positive outlook, even when terrible things have happened. She says, "I've alwyas wanted a smaller house" which shows that she is looking at the bright side of this event.
