Emporia Kansas is similar to Maycomb. We are a small close knit town, as is Maycomb. We also have some weird people, and at this point in the book Boo Radley is pretty weird. Kids still tell stories and make thing up about their neighbors. When Dill, Jem and Scout are making up the stories it makes me think about the kids in my neighborhood.=====

I never see my neighbors. I know they are nice because I've heard of their good deeds. I think my neighbors are similar to the Radley's I have never wanted to try to contact my neighbors, like Jem and Scout.. Miss Maudie is very comforting figure. She reminds me of a mother. I think it would be fun to hang out with her. My favorite character is Scout, she reminds me of my sister. My sister is adventurous but cautious at the same time.

Segregation is pretty scarce nowadays, but back then, it was very common. In this book they speak about racism a lot. Tom Robinson is a good example. He is black and some of the white population don't like him. I think that Boo Radley reminds me of the boogie man or bloody Mary. They are scared of him, but they want him to come out. He is kind of a made up character because nobody has really ever seen him.

Dolphus Raymond pretends to be a drunkard to get people to leave him alone. Reputations are very important to people nowadays. For example, there was a story on a famous actress who pretended to be doing drugs. She did this because she thought it would make her more popular.
