As Atticus says to his children, "...you are the product of several generations gentle breeding. . .," Scout scratches at a bedb
ug. This is funny and ironic, since bedbugs should not be found on a "properly clean young lady of breeding." There are several other funny or ironic facts in the two versions of Finch family and regional history presented in chapter 13. Describe any two others.
The first funny/ironic fact about the Finch family's history that we learn in Chapter 13 is that the Finch family married within their own family for many generations.
Another interesting fact that we (the readers) learn is that the Finches cousin Joshua attempted to shoot the president, and went to prison for many years.
These examples are just two of many that imply the Finch children are, perhaps, not from the finest family lineage.
