The author effectively use Miss Caroline in chapters 2 and 3 to introduce important background information about other characters and the setting of Maycomb in the 1930s because as she wasn't from the zone, and she dind't knew anybody, she started asking questions to their students and that gave use information of the different realities and how do the people in maycob live.

Dear Family,

I am writing you from Maycomb to inform you that I am fine and survived my first day here. I mean "survived" as it was a very hard day, I figured out that this education here is worst than I thought, some kids dind't wanted to study and left the class, others were very dirt, but the case that took more my attention was a poor girl called Jean Louise Finch, she thought she knew how to read and write as it seemed someone taught her but I am not sure if what she learned is good and also she is still not in age to do that things, I must take action on this. Many other bad things happens but finally the day came to an end. I am hoping this week will be better.

Wish you my best,
Caroline.

Essay


"We are unaware that we are communicating in many different ways even when we are not speaking.. we are rarely taught about this non-verbal form of communication in school... we informally learn how to use gesturees, glances, slight changes in tone of voice, ... to alter or emphasize what we say and do... we learn these culture-bound techniques largely by observing others and imitating them."

There are many ways of communicating, and we use them every day,  even if we are unaware of it, because we learn them unconsciously.

When we speak, we usually do some tone variations or start to shout to make what we say more interesting, also you can see in many speechs that the speakers use some gestures to get to audiencie, for example when talking about taking action in a problem, they point to the audience so they can feel their responsability on the problem. Also there are more ways of communicating that appear when we try to express our selves..

To conclude, we can affirm that there is a non-verbal forms of communication that we unconsciously use, these may vary between different cultures as the cultures are the ones who teach us this.
