Chapter thirteen is when Aunt Alexandra went to live with the Finches! She seems to become a control freak towards Jem and Scout. I think she shouldnt do that because she is not their mother. It should be Atticus punishing the children. As well as when she had those ladies over, Aunt Alexandra wanted to "teach" Scout how to be a lady- but i think she should have left Scout alone. I think that in time Scout would learn how to be a lady.
In this chapter, I felt as if i started to not like Aunt Alexandra. To me, it seems that she doesn't know how to deal with children. Aunt Alexandra wanted to give the children a "feminine influence" because of their mother dying.

I completely agree with you . I find that when Aunt Alexandra goes to move in with the Finches she is the hugest control freak and decides all the choices for Scout and Jem. She definitely seems to think that Jem is not girly enough so is completely making her wear dresses and such to become more feminine. I do think the same as you that if she would've just left well enough alone, Jem would grow into her self and become more of a girl. I couldn't agree with more on everything you think.
