1. what does mrs. dubose mean when she says, "what’s this world coming to when a finch goes against his raising? " she means that in what ways does atticus go against his raising? when is "going against your raising" a good thing? when is it bad?

Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose's claim that what Atticus is doing is against the very ideal of a white man united with his own people and not acting against them. She is questioning why or how Atticus could go against his very upbringing, where his ancestors had been slave owners and masters.

Explanation:

Harper Lee's famous novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" revolves around the theme of racism and the racist attitude of the people of Maycomb, Alabama. The Finches, through which the writer reveals the plot and story are also part of this town but were different in their viewpoint and even approach.

The character of Mrs. Dubose is an ill tempered woman who lived near the Finches and would always find one thing or another to grumble about. In chapter 11, she is seen exclaiming "What’s this world coming to when a Finch goes against his raising?" By this, she meant to say that she is appalled to find that Atticus is defending the black man Tom Robinson for the ra pe case. She represents the true white people, racist against the blacks and would even criticize whoever defends the blacks. This is not the way in the South, where the whites look out for their own kind. What Atticus is doing is against that very idea, and instead he's fighting for the black man Tom.
