Explain about the two characters and how they are connected to the black commmunity.
Lee portrays Calpurnia as an intelligent, reliable, and loyal employee of the Finch family. Her relationship to the family is far more than that of a housekeeper.... she cares for the children like they are her own, and she looks out for Atticus. She is kind, caring, and much like a member of the family.
Tom Robinson is also portrayed as a kind, caring, helpful man. Sadly, he doesn't have Calpurnia's intellect and caution, and as a result, he is an easy target for Mayella's manipulation and accusations.
