...against another (such as walter)? I just need a quote proving Aunt Alex discriminated against those of a different race or of a lower class. Please add the page numer as well.:)
Thanks sooo much!!
 
Here's a good one:
Aunt Alexendra: "'Don't be silly, Jean Louise,' said Aunt Alexandra. 'The thing is, you can scrub Walter Cunningham till her shines, you can put him in shoes and a new suit, but he'll never be like Jem. Besides, there's a drinking streak in that family a mile wide. Finch women aren't interested in that sort of people.'"

So basically Aunt Alexandra's implying how she places the Finch's on a higher pedestal from the likes of the Cunninghams.
