In the original novel version of To Kill a Mockingbird, the character of Calpurnia is an important part of the family in chapters 1-8. She irritates Scout mostly because she is a mother figure to her. Calpurnia in the graphic novel, chapters 1-8, can best be described as

• not being mentioned at all in the graphic novel.

• not interested in caring for Scout and Jem.

• called by a different name in the graphic novel but still just as important.

• in the background of the story, but not an important part of the family.
