omg cut it off too soon!!! “That boy is your company. And if he wants to eat up that tablecloth, you let him, you hear? And if you can't act fit to eat like folks, you can just set here and eat in the kitchen!”
My mother gave the book to me to read after she read it. I was a kid. This was in the 1960's. And then I saw the movie. For some reason I always remembered this particular scene.
It’s to do with manners and relationship dynamics between children and children, children and adults, and children and themselves. Childhood and measuring generational differences. Also class and southern hospitality.
This has to be a hard moment for Walter. He's probably had one of the best meals of his life, and has to admit that he has to live on game for most of what he can eat. On top of that, Scout's already beaten him up in the schoolyard. And now, he has to deal with Scout taunting him for trying to enjoy something he likely hasn't had before. Most of the time, Scout is one of my favorite characters, but it was a good lesson to learn for her.
I was punished, due to a bad sister and mother, but regardless I was put into a school for troubled youths. I wrote a paper on this book (To Kill A Mockingbird) as well as Lolita. Instead of commenting on my dissertation I was insulted due to the fact that it was about a younger girl with an older guy. Mind you, I was 16 so I was hardly an edge on that kind of topic. I'm happy you found this topic because it was excellent. The book and the movie both were excellent and that's a rare thing to say. Thank you.
You treat your guests with respect! And if your guest requests an odd item, you give it to them no question! (Unless its drug or crime related of course!)
Мальчик голодный и хочет сладкого. А девочка его не понимает. Она не была голодной никогда. В русском языке есть поговорка: " сытый голодного не разумеет" ( не понимает).
Sugar was an expense for poor people. If they're eating squirrels and rabbits its been a while since Walter has enjoyed a candy bar or ice cream. Hard times.
A simple, yet one of the most important scenes in the film. Oh, to live with Calpurnia and Atticus.
Yes, indeed!
so real
I love Calpurnia. She took Scout in hand and made sure she understood her table manners when there was a guest present.
Darn right
omg cut it off too soon!!!

What brilliant movie.
I love how Cal disciplined rude little Scout lol
And gave her a good seat, too!
I love that face scout made when calpernia called her into the kitchen. She was like "shit!"
In the old South the guest was king. The guest in return behaved graciously. It was a a good way.
'Scout - Come out here, I want to talk to you !!!'
I like the way the innocence of the Mockingbird becomes a central theme to this story!
Maybe it’s been said before: Calpurnia & Scout are excellent actresses.

How do you cut off Cal giving to Scout for making fun of Walter? That is why most of us watched the clip!
I've said it many times m myself but I've never heard a little girl say Sam Hill ! Lol.
01:10 Ah! Ah! He said it! He said it!
It was an innocent comment I'd been like dang save some for the rest of us

How do we feel about maple syrup with our dinner?? 1:47 Aaaaaaaawwwwwwww yeeeeeeeeeah!!

In Alabama in the 1930s, it would be corn syrup or molasses.

He should not have drowned his dinner in all that syrup dammit!!!
If you had any raising at all you know you should let a guest eat the table cloth if that's what they want. Just channeling Cal for you.
What are you the food police?
So what if he did, big deal. If that's how he likes it, then let him enjoy...
He's poor as hell the kid dosent know any better

There’s a nice way of giving a suggestion
