DIVERGENCE : There's lots of folks in the world

"As Maycomb county was farm country, nickels and dimes were hard to come by doctors and dentists and lawyers."

"There's four kinds of folks in the world. There's the ordinary kind like us and the neighbors, there's the kind like the Cunninghams out in the woods, the kind like the Ewells down at the dumped, and the negroes."

In the second quote, Scout talk about the types of people there are in Maycomb county. She says the Ewells are filthy, poor, and down at the dumped. Scout, Jem, and his father Atticus Fich are like regular people. She also compares the Ewells to the black people because they are also poor.

This kind of talks about the economic failure during the Great Depression where the stock market crashed, the economy went down, and people lost their money. Just like the ewells.

For the first quote by Atticus, Walter Cunningham Sr was talikng about his property being retailed. Retailed means that a person property or land cannot be sold. I don't know why this concerns Atticus but he might have this feeling that he will be broke and loose the house.
