Question

In Chapter 5, Miss Maudie is described as "a reasonable creature." What makes her "reasonable"? How would you define a "reasonable creature" in your own life? Compare and contrast that person with Miss Maudie.

Answer 1

Answer:

¨A comforting fount of information, wisdom, and common sense

Explanation:

In To kill a Mockingbird Miss Maudie is described as a person who believes in treating people humanly (i.e. not racially biased) and not judging them. Therefore, ¨Reasonable¨ can be defined as someone who acts with reason or common sense in regards to other people. On the other hand, a reasonable person viewed socially is not deprived of human emotions that enables him or her to be rationally and emphatic at the same time.
