After reading the quote below, infer the meaning from the passage below.

"Lula stopped, but she said, "You ain't got no business bringin' white chillun here—they got their church, we got our'n. It is our church, ain't it, Miss Cal?"

… When I looked down the pathway again, Lula was gone. In her place was a solid mass of colored people.

One of them stepped from the crowd. It was Zeebo, the garbage collector. "Mister Jem," he said, "we're mighty glad to have you all here. Don't pay no 'attention to Lula." (12.48-52)

• It shows how Jem and Scout are not welcome by the members of First Purchase Church.

• Lula is a colored woman from First Purchase is very warm and welcoming to Jem and Scout.

• This is the first time Jem and Scout experience racism. They feel like they are the objects of someone else's judgements.

• Lula echoes the feelings of the rest of the congregation from First Purchase church.

The following quote from "Four Skinny Trees" in The House on Mango Street includes all of the devices EXCEPT....

"They are the only ones who understand me. I am the only one who understands them. Four skinny trees with skinny necks and pointy elbows like mine. Four who do not belong here but are here. Four raggedy excuses planted by the city. From our room we can hear them, but Nenny just sleeps and doesn’t appreciate these things."
