 * The character Dill is a a child who is a friend of Jem and Scout. He likes to play with the to and is a little nosy.
 * Scout is the main character, as the story is told by her. She is a mischievous child and fights with her nanny all the time, but loves her. She plays with Jem all the time and plays with dill in the summer when he comes to stay. She is a little nosy too and has to learn that not everyone is ass lucky as her to have a good life.

Group Discussion (Sammy Hansel)
Chapter 2 >> Chapter 3 and 4 Vocabulary by Taylor Happel ** Chapter One **
 * Our group agreed that an allusion is a reference to mythology, literature, religion, history, and folklore
 * Our examples are nothing to fear but fear itself, hoover carts, and the Civil War (between the North and the South)
 * Some examples we found in chapter 2 are:
 * the Dewey Decimal System: page 18
 * Lorenzo Dow: page 18
 * the Civil War: page 16
 * for some prejudice acts we found one:
 * We thought that when one kid couldnt afford to get lunch and the other kids said that it was just who his family was.
 * Calpurnia:
 * She is the maid at the finch household
 * We also feel like she is the motherly figure for the kids
 * We think that Walter Cunningham is a little on the shy, timid side and his behavior at lunch shows that he doesnt have enough money to even pay someone back.
 * Atticus, in our opinion, treats Walter with respect
 * We think that Scout did learn a lesson from his vist. Our group agreed that she learned not to judge anyone based on money.
 * Our thoughts on Atticus saying "until you climb into his skin and walk around in it" is that he is telling them not to judge before you get to know them. This will also be a very hard thing for Scout to learn.
 * In the book the Ewells are said to "live like animals" and they are also put as the disgrace of Maycomb (for 3 generations).
 * Scout is looking forward to school because she gets to see Jem more.
 * Jem doesnt want anything to do with Scout because he doesnt want to be embarassed by her. This seems to be typical behavior for an older child because not many people like to hang out with their younger siblings.
 * Miss Caroline Fisher
 * She is a young teacher and she talks to the kids.
 * We think that some characteristic might not make her good at her job because she is young but she is also unexpecting and might be a pushover.
