Conversation-Atticus scout and jem

The reasoning behind this conversation is because Aunt Alexandra wanted him to talk to them. She wanted Atticus to let Jem and Scout know that they have to act more like gentlemen and young ladies. They have to live up to the Finches before them. Also Aunt Alexandra wants Atticus to let them know to be more grown up than they are. Scout says "It takes a women to do that kind of work" because a women know what kind of reputation that their family has to live up to. Women can talk to kids and tell them what to do like Aunt Alexandra. She can tell Jem and Scout what to do better than Atticus because Atticus normally lets them be their own person. Women also like their family to be a certain way unlike men. Men normally don't take much interest in their children's way of acting as women and mothers do.
