Em Forster Mrs. Dubose

Scout and Jem walked past Mrs. Dubose house when she yelled something horrible about Atticus. Jem lost his temper and destroyed all of Mrs. Dubose’s camellia bushes. Atticus gave Jem the punishment of going to Mrs. Dubose’s house and doing what she wanted. She was so mean that when Scout was she trying to making pleasant conversation all Mrs. Dubose replied was.

"Hey, Mrs. Dubose," I would recieve for an answer "don't you say hey to me, you ugly girl. You say good afternoon, Mrs. Dubose!"

Mrs. Dubose gave off the image of a cranky, tired, old woman who hated everything.She requested that Jem read to her for two hours everyday. Jem hated every minute of it and was thankful when it was over. Two weeks after Jem stopped going to her house she died. Mrs. Dubose was a kind lady with an addiction to Morphine and when she doesn’t have it she was angry. Before she died she gave her maid something to give to Jem, it was a single camellia flower. It shows how Mrs. Dubose was actually a kind woman in a cranky one’s body. Atticus said she was a great lady and he was right.
