yeah i agree to with mcech..she has a different point of view and a different lifestyle( the cootie part with the boy). you can tell that she is not from your avergae hillbilly scene. you can first tell this from the scene where the cootie crawls out of little chuckes hair and she flips out. she then makes him go home and use a specific shampoo and soap(i find that funny)..i also agree with tusting too about the social hierarchy system thingy..u can for sure tell that they were grown up in different classes.

I think we meet Miss Caroline Fisher because shows us how this story will give us a lot of different views and ideas for us to think about. Miss C.F. came from a northern part of a region down to the south where things are drastically different. She is not very used to having to deal with poor kids or kids that have a bad attitude (Burris). I think she will be one of the characters in this story that will change to have a different point of view in the end.

I hate not being able to write something new, but I don't want to repeat everyone here. I agree that Miss Caroline Fisher does indeed allow us a new point of view and she helps so we can know a bit more about the town. She also causes a bit of trouble for Scout because Scout can read so well and Miss Fisher probably doesn't want to look stupid compared to her.

The teacher Miss Caroline Fisher is a way of bringing an "outsider's" view on Maycomb's way of life. The customs and ways of Maycomb are so different from other towns that when Miss Caroline came to town, she really didn't know how to act. Her view on things are different so it adds a sort of variety to the town's customs.

I believe Miss Caroline Fisher is important to the story because she represents the idea of bringing new ideas from the north down into the south. Secondly I also believe she was put into the story to add some more background into the kids school life and to show how Scout learning to Read early can contradict with school beliefs in the south

if she wasn't in the story, the kids wouldn't have something that they don't like. everything would be happy bunnies and unicorns.
she is changing the school system and modernizing it, something that they don't want to do. it is foreshadowing that the whole town will have to make bigger changes against their will.

[shadow=red,left,300][glow=red,2,300]Miss Caroline does not know a lot about the life in Maycomb and she is really weird. What kind of Teacher doesnt want her students to be able to read and write??
Anyways she is a differnt type of teachers but she is useful to play a part for people to talk to.[/glow][/shadow]

Ms. Caroline Fisher represents new ideas. In maycomb, they have been doing the same things their whole lives. She represents change. Her part teaches us that everyone in Maycomb is very close and they know a lot about each other and their families. We got to meet 2 characters from Ms. Fisher. The Ewells boy and the Cunningham boy and we got to kearn about them and the difference between them. Ms. Fisher is learning abou thte town adn its people, slowly.

[[glow=red,2,300]font=Verdana]She is this new teacher who i guess we meet just to tell us about the town and the people in the town when scout is telling her about them. she is the that the writter what ever her name is again is able to explain things to use by explaining it all to her. we wouldn't learn much about them without her in the story!![/font][/glow][/color]

All of the ponts seem to be related and interconneted to one and the other. There aren't many pints that can be atken n this subect, so I believe somewhat to what all of what you guys think. Also, I think that the main reason why she s here, is to show and represent how the "deep" south is being bombarded with northern ideas and ways of life and how the southern way of life is slowly dimising.

i think ms caroline is also in the story to bring in new ideas to the town. the people of maycomb for a majority think and live similar lifestyles. ms caroline is not only a new member into the town, but she also from north alambma, which is a ways away from maycomb. you can tell when she is introduced that she is different from the townsfolk and their culture. she is not used to the lifestyle and the folk of the town.

Hmmm. When she came and was introduced to the kids I thought it kinda made visible what a small community Maycomb is. Everyone knows everything about everybody, and Ms. Caroline was clearly the outsider. I agree with everybody that she also brought in new ideas with her different teaching methods. And I agree with what Sarah said earlier, that the incident with Walter let us get to know more about some of the characters. I think that was pretty valuable, because that information has more meaning later on, and that was a good way for us to learn it. Off to question #3!

I agree with Libby. This part of the story, and this character, allowed us to get to know the different people of Maycomb. Good work Libby!
