Question 6

Miss Caroline is shocked and appauled by Burris Ewell's behaviour and starts to cry.
This suggests that she is confused and naive about the community in Maycomd. She does not know abou the stereotypes of the families and what how people act and what they expect in the town.

The Ewells are uneducated, ill mannered, filthy, and very destructive.
