The Grangerfords…

•Are not as classy as they seem•They might have money, but money doesn’t automatically bring sophistication

The fruitbasket…“…they warn’t real because you could see

where pieces had chipped off and showed the white chalk, or whatever it was, underneath.”

•The Grangerfords look great from the outside, but when you get closer, you see their flaws (chips) in their character/lifestyle.•Their hate for the Shepherdson is a major flaw that ruins the family.
