Who does Aunt Alexandra try to convince Atticus to part ways with? Why?

Answer 1

Aunt Alexandra tries to convince Atticus to part ways with Calpurnia, their African-American housekeeper. Aunt Alexandra believes that having Calpurnia in their household is not suitable for the Finch family's social status and reputation. She believes that Calpurnia is not a good influence on Scout and Jem and thinks that the children would benefit from a more refined and cultured upbringing, which she thinks Calpurnia cannot provide.
