They first noticed that Calpurnia changed the way of speaking to a "Ebonic" english, they were confused and didn't knew why she would do that, she explained that if she would talk as a white she would look bad at his community, also they noticed how poor they were.
2. Explain why Calpurnia speaks differently in the Finch household, and among her neighbours at church.
Well as I said before thats the Ebonics, how she speaks in her society, otherwise she would lose her respect and be looked as white maid or something.+
3. Aunt Alexandra thinks Scout is "dull" (not clever). Why does she think this, and is she right?
Well aunt Alexandra says this because she thinks that Scout is not a lady at all because of how she dresses, again more pre-judges and ignorance.
4. How does Aunt Alexandra involve herself in Macomb's social life?
She earned her respect and gained some friends quickly, you could say she had a decent life-style on Maycomb, she got used to drink tea and talk with her friends.
5. Comment on Aunt Alexandra's ideas about breeding and family, in contrast to Atticus' visions. Who's right, do you think? Why?
Atticus all the way, at the end they go against, while Atticus thinks that she raised a good girl, Alexandra says she's not behaving as a Finch should and that Atticus hasn't made a good job, I think that Atticus gave his child's a good vision of the society and that negroes should not be abused.
6. Comment on Atticus' definition of rape. How suitable is this definition as an answer to Scout?
Atticus said rape is "Carnal knowledge of a female by force and without concern". Which is completely right and direct, and thats just how Atticus teach his kids.
