"Miss Maudie hated her house: time spent indoors was time wasted. She was a widow, a chameleon lady who worked in her flower beds in an old straw hat and men's coveralls, but after her five o'clock bath she would appear on the porch and regin over the street in magisterial beauty." pg. 47
(Q) Why is spending time indoors such a waste of time?
ReplyDeleteI think that Miss Maudie really works hard on keping her garden pretty that sometimes it costes her to not look beautiful at all times and once she is done for the day and it comes to the hour of bathing, she recovers that beauty.
Miss Maudie is a women that she didn't like to be indoors she prefer to work outdoors treading flowers and plants. My opinion to this is that i really like that way Miss Maudie see things because some times every thing gets so boring and you just want to be out side having a good time. From my point of view life is about exploring new things having fun making mistakes be free and appreciate what you have in life because once something is gone it will never come back. Been at home you can also lean new things but now much as the outside world.
ReplyDelete(Q) How does one become a different person upon taking a bath? Cleanliness is probably the effect.
ReplyDelete(R) Miss Maudie is an outdoor person, she probably is old and doesn't like being in the house by herself. Being a widow must be hard for her.
ReplyDelete(C) This quote is like the Cinderella Story not completely but only some parts. The part where she couldn't go to the dance because the sisters didn't think she was only a house maid. But when Cinderella went to the ball with her dress and everything that night. She look amazing during dance.
ReplyDeleteMiss Maudie probably dosent like being in her house because she wants to live her life to the fullest. She dosent want to waste her time in her house just sitting there not doing anything. She wants to be outside and be active.
ReplyDeleteMiss Maudie is described as not dressing well while she tends to her garden but once she takes her bath she sits on the porch looking beautiful. To her being indoors seems like a waste because she loves being outside and enjoys tending her garden.
ReplyDelete(Q) What happened to her husband?
ReplyDeleteI think Miss Maudie is the typical suburban women. She is a person who sees no point in staying inside when the world is so great.She sounds like the ladies who stay outside and watch over the neighborhood in her own way. She also sounds like a person that knows alot but keeps it to herself.
Miss Maudie is that kind of person that doesn't like to be in her house not doing nothing, she prefers to be outside treating her flowers.
ReplyDelete(Q)Why doesnt Miss Maudie just stay outside for the whole day every day since she hates her house.?.
ReplyDeleteI think Miss Maudie should appreciate that she has a house some people dont have what she has. If she really "loves" the outdoors well she should go outside and live in a tent or just sleep on the grass. I think she would be in a better mood if she would sleep with her plants.
(E)I think the reason why Miss Maudie spends outdoors in her flower garden is because she as nothing to do just like Scout and Jem. And it make sense since it said that she had a dad that was doctor but tended to his garden more than his patients. Which makes sense that a daughter to pick something up from his dad even as something as boring as that. And since Miss Maudie hasn't have anything better to do she does what she finds a little fun which is gardening.
ReplyDelete(E) If Miss Maudie likes Working on her garden go work on it and stop wasting time indoors. You could get pretty faster and go have fun or just walk around exploring the small town.
ReplyDelete(Q) If miss Maudie is a widow, who used to be her husband, and how did he die? Plus how is she still so happy and full of enjoyment if the one she cared died? Maybe she might have just gone a bit insane after losing a loved one very close to her, and gardeninng is just a way of getting her dead husband off her mind, and finding peace in this world.
ReplyDeleteMiss Maudie probably gets really lonely and bored being in her house alone, so she probably tends her garden to pass her time. After tending her garden and taking a bath, she sits on the porch Maybe because that what she did with her husband when he was still alive
ReplyDeletei think miss maudie is not so happy.Seeing that she is a widow she might be getting tired of her life and feels there's nothing else better to do than what she's doing right now.
ReplyDeleteMiss Maudie likes to be outside her house because she thinks indoors is time wasted.
ReplyDelete(E) I would think that she doesn't wants to be inside her house since her husband died and also maybe she is saying that being indoors is a waste of time because it might bring her memories so she insted would go to her garden and on the porch.
ReplyDeleteTime spent indoors is probably considered a waste of time to Ms. Maudie because she might be used to spending lots of time with her husbanb out side. And now that she is a widow she is obliged to continue her past activities. She probably isnt used to change and new begginings. her five o'clock bath might be her time of a new begging, exceptintg change and being happy. Gardening might be her way to get away from it all, be out side and not waste time.
ReplyDeleteMiss Maudie likes being outside she doesnt like her house. She actually enjoys being outside with the plants and her garden that is something she really likes and doesnt think is a waste of time . Then she goes and takes her bath which makes her feel better .
ReplyDeleteI think that being outside is good for Miss Maudie, because that way she wont feel alone because she is a widow. She will feel happy and maybe even young when she sees all the kids playing outside. Its good for her to enjoy outdoors and her garden, because being alone is hurtful and its better to breath in and be happy.
ReplyDeleteMs. Maudie thought that being inside was a waste of time because there was nothing to do in her home. She also seemed that her garden was a very important part of her routine considering that Maycomb is a boring, tired town in the south. Also the street in front of her porch also seems like there isn't anything there, just land and the skies.
ReplyDeleteI think Ms.Maudie doesn't like spending her time inside he house because she cant find anything interesting to do.she likes to be outside taking care of her flowers/plants.Maybe gardening for her is like a hobby.
ReplyDeleteIt seems being outside is more important to her then being inside.
ReplyDelete(Q) wonder why she hates her house?
maybe shes a person that likes being with nature/ outside in the open instead of of being inside
I think that the reason she likes to spend her time outside the garden is because she likes to take care of her plants and she loves nature. She probably thinks that spending time indoors is a waste of time because she doesn't have anything to do and she feels lonely. In my opinion time indoors is not a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteMiss Maudie must spend most of her time outside instead indoors so that she can keep the memories of her dead husband away. She probably does this because it is the only for her to spend her time. Also she has no children so she decides that it is the only way to carry on with her day.
ReplyDeleteIf she hated her house so much then why is she still living there.She seems very picky.
ReplyDeleteI also think that she the type of person that likes the outdoors and like to go outside.
If she said that time indoors is wasted,then why doesnt she go outdoors? I think she preffers to be in the outdoors. And she must like her garden because she takes really good care of it. It would really benefit her is she goes outside because then she wont be as lonely.
ReplyDeleteMs.Maudie is right in some ways that being inside is a waste of time ,because being inside most of the time gets boring. Also when you don't have anything to do in a town like that i would also be outside most of the time. I also thinks she isn't good in living in a place like Maycomb.
ReplyDeleteMiss Maudie thinks that spending time outdoors is better than spending time indoors because it is a waste of time to her.Spending time indoors probably makes Miss Maudie feel bored and sad.However,gardening outdoors helps her feel better because she is just getting used to being a widow. Taking her five o clock bath makes Miss Maudie probably cheers her up.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion Miss Maudie is a woman who loves nature. She thinks that staying inside is a waist of time because there's nothing to do, you are basically in a house of 4 walls exploring nothing. She likes to explore, breath fresh air which i think its good. In my opinion i like how she is.
ReplyDeleteMiss Maudie does not like being inside because maybe she doesn't like being alone and bored all the time . Also she probably really loves nature a lot .
ReplyDeleteMiss Maude is a women who does not like to waste time being indoors. So she spends her time outdoors, doing dirty work. But after everything she then fixes herself up to show that she has a beauty side to her as well.
ReplyDeleteMiss Maudie doesn't like being indoors probably because she likes nature and being indoors is just a waste of time for her. She maybe just gets out of her house at night and enjoys the nature.
