To Kill a Mockingbird
is this syntax "Baby," said Calpurnia, "I just can't help it if Mister Jem's growin' up. He's gonna want to be off to himself a lot now, doin' whatever boys do, so you just come right on in the kitchen when you feel lonesome…." (ch 12)
can you tell me if this is syntax, and eplain this, please
