Answer 2

In the first portion of tkam we grow accostumed to the area of Maycombe county. We begin to familiarize with Jem and Scout and their personalities. It is then that the issue of Boo Radley, and the attempts at communication take place. Dill is a large part of the plot at this point and the issues of rascism are not as apparent as they grow to be later in the novel. To take a deeper look at this one could veiw it as the calm before the storm in the novel, the storm being the Tom Robinson case. As the novel progresses, we see the Tom Robinson case as it approaches and developes, but the beginning of the novel is a more indroductary peice.

This is how we see tolerance being shirked though, as the children unfairly judge Boo Radley to be a monster.

Answer 3

It's about Jem and Scout's childhood pretty much. They are into getting Boo Radley to come out, and it ends with Mrs. Dubose dying.
