A woman whom everyone has a fond memory of and never fails to comments on what a beautiful spirit she had. This woman I am speaking of is my mother Rosie.

When Scout was a narrator this is what she said to the reader “’ Our mother died when I was two, so I never felt her absence”’ (7).

When my mom learned of the girl situation, she didn’t ask any question, she told the young girl to go find her a place to sleep.
