Scout is a girl who although very young manages to understand very well the situations that happen around her. She lives with her brother, Jem; his father, Atticus; and a black maid named Calpurnia.
Calpurnia was primarily responsible for creating Scout (her mother died) and everyone in the family has a high regard for Calpurnia.

One day Scout overhears his father and aunt Alexandra arguing in the living room. They are talking about whether it is necessary for Calpurnia to remain in the house, as Aunt Alexandra found it absurd that Calpurnia would take the children to a service in an African church, even with Atticus's permission.
