The Cunninghams
They are very poor farming family.
They are ‘country folk’ and the Wall Street Crash hit them the hardest.
Mr. Cunningham pays Atticus in food because he can’t afford to pay him cash.
Walter had caught ‘hookworms’ from walking barefoot (couldn’t afford shoes).
They are very proud don’t take anything they can’t pay back.
Walter accidently got Scout into trouble at school because he wouldn’t accept money from Miss Caroline.

other stories.
What do all these characters have in common?
A bogeyman is a monstrous imaginary figure used in threatening children. This legendary monster has no specific appearance, and versions of the monster can vary drastically even from household to household within the same community; in many cases, he simply has no set appearance in the mind of a child, but is just a personification of terror.

You fill in the blank explanations for the above quote...
“Mrs Dubose was stationed on her porch as we went by.”
The word ‘stationed’ shows that she is always there and never moves. This further shows that she could be nosey.
“Playing hooky, I suppose. I’ll just call up the principal and tell him!”
Even though it is a Saturday and there is no school, Mrs. Dubose is looking for any excuse to land the children into trouble. This shows that she is a nasty and vindictive person.
“And you - she pointed an arthritic finger at me.”
Harper Lee uses italics for the word ‘you’ in order to make it stand out when Mrs. Dubose says it in an aggressive way. Furthermore, the image of the ‘arthritic finger’ pointing at Scout makes her seem evil, like an old witch.
“She put her hand to her mouth. When she drew it away, it trailed a long silver thread of saliva. ‘Your father’s no better than the niggers and trash he works for!’”
