You put 5 questions into one. You can't do that. As editors we
are required to answer only one when and if you do. So, I edited the rest out and am presenting
answer to the first one you posed.
Aunt Alexandra attempts to make
Scout a lady by forcing her to wear a dress. Of course this significantly burdens Scout. But
there is an important female occasion at the house which merits wearing a dress. As Aunt
Alexandra hosts the Missionary Society Tea she wants to have every appearance fit the event which
includes her niece's apparel.
Having Scout attend the tea is another
way in which she will learn how to be a lady. She was forced to have conversations and practice
appropriate use of language under the circumstances.
