Question

what does it mean to be a “finch”? what does it mean to aunt Alexandra? what does it mean to atticus?

Answer 1

When you're a "Finch," it's important to accept the family's flaws in order to appreciate the family's virtues. Every Christmas, as a "Finch," you must go to Finch's Landing and meet up with the rest of your family. When you're a "Finch," Aunt Alexandra thinks you're obligated to look and behave like a "young lady." You must always defend what you believe in, according to Atticus.
