From To Kill A Mockingbird-Calpurnia

 Calpurnia says," Hush your mouth! Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house's yo' comp'ny, and don't you let me catch you remarkin' on their ways like you was so high and mighty! Yo' folks might be better than the Cunninghams but it don't count for nothin' the way you're disgracin' 'em-if you can't act fit to eat at the table you can just set here and eat in the kitchen!"

A character named Calpurnia from the book, To Kill A Mockingbird, portrays a word of wisdom. This word is equality. To describe Calpurnia I, would say that she is a clean woman, a colored woman, with a Holy outlook on life. She has a level-headed mind on her shoulders, and she deserves to be treated like a lady because she is and acts like one. Calpurnia shows her word of wisdom while talking to a young girl, Scout, about how to treat their guests. Scout is still young, so the examples and actions she sees Calpurnia do will mold her into how she will act as a person. What Calpurnia said is an example of a "word of wisdom" because she basically says treat others the way you want to be treated. Calpurnia is a wise soul because she does not treat anyone differently for the reasons of who they are, or how rich they are. She defines a person as a person who has feelings, and needs. To her, everyone who is alive and breathing is a person.
