To Kill A Mockingbird Chapter 12 Again and Again

Again and Again 1

Jul 10, 1960

Lee signals that the innocence is ending. Lee presents Lula's anger towards Calpurnia and the children as wholly wrong. Given the treatments of blacks in Maycomb, Lula has a good reason to be angry that white people have entered a place of black safety and solidarity. Since one side, the white side, has all the power, the argument that "everyone should just get along" also functions as and argument to maintain the status quo-that which keeps whites powerful and blacks powerless.
