In this chapter, Scout begins to notice that other children in her class have traits and behaviors that she does not understand. Specifically, she becomes angry and judgmental when Walter Cunningham is at her house for dinner, and begins to pour syrup on all of his food. Scout is unaware of Walter's home life, and merely sees this action as him choosing not to act in a way that she believes is right. Atticus and Calpurnia, knowing that Walter does not know any better, remind her that Walter, has had a different upbringing than she has, and has not had many of the opportunities that she has had. When Atticus has this discussion with Scout, he wants her to understand that although people may have their differences, it is important to try and see things from their points of view. This quote is one of the earliest examples of the recurring theme of Scout learning about empathy throughout the novel.

In two weeks time, the Hawaiian Gazette was reporting about a band of Portuguese musicians delighting people with nightly concerts. Three Portuguese cabinetmakers, probably finding the furniture market not as lucrative as they had hoped, capitalized on the instruments’ new found popularity by opening their own machete stores.
The instrument was eventually redesigned and became the ukulele we are all familiar with. It was made of koa, a native Hawaiian wood long associated with royalty on the islands. This, along with the adoption of the ukulele…show more content…
Novelty ukes became a thing during an era of mass production and Americanization. It was not until the introduction of big band music in the 1930s that this fad ended.
Popularity for the ukulele grew once again in the 1950s, however, with the use of it in radio, television, and movies. It became enormously popular due to its use and immortalization by pop culture icons like Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. This second wave of popularity receded in the 1970s due to the unintimidating instrument’s inability to compete with the guitar as psychedelic rock, heavy metal, and punk gained popularity.
