Dill Running away

When Dill Ran away from his foster home, it was a bit obvious that his parents would come look for him in Maycomb. For one thing, that was the only place he had any relations with. He had Jem and Scout in maycomb and the first place is foster parents would look was the Finch home where he had his only friends. Hsi parents probably knew that very well.

Calpurnia's reading skills

Calpurnia taught Scout how to read and also her son (who is not a preacher). She is claiming that it was Miss Maudie's aunt who taught her how to read. I think that it's a little wrong. The thing is that Miss Maudie mentioned during the story that her family is not very found of black people. So, that supports my theory that she is not telling the complete truth. After the Civil war, there were no Jim Crow laws. But, white people would ignore blacks like if they were the garbage can. So, that is why i think she's lying a little.

Jem's theory of Boo Radley

Jem Mentioned that Boo Radley had never left his house because he wanted to stay in there. I think that there is a flaw in this theory. The thing is that nobody likes to be locked up in a house 24/7. Naturally, they would go crazy. Besides, for all we know, they are not very nice at him in there. This could definitely be a possibility but not very likely from my point of view.

Death of tom robinson

I agreed when Atticus said that Tom was tired of seeing white people take chances. That's why he took his own. I agree since I decided to put myself in his shoes. I would have been completely angry if something like that were to happen to me or anyone. At this time, Black people were like a rat. You wouldn't even think of helping it. You would simply ignore it and talk bad about it with your friends. The black neighborhood was like a group of rats to the whites. Tom had had it and by the looks of it, he would have done what I think any black person would have done. So that is why I agree. Because I realized it when I put myself in his shoes.
