Jem Finch played a big role in this book. There were many other vital characters in this book. Some were Calpurnia, who was the Finch's maid (she was a great help raising Jem and Scout), Aunt Alexandra, who was Atticus' sister (she came to help raise Jem and Scout, but the Jem and Scout didn't really like her because she was very strict). Then there was Miss Maudie, who was Scout's favorite person to talk to; she always made cakes for Jem and Scout. There was also Arthur (Boo) Radley, who was a man who lived in a big old house down the street from the Finch's (Jem, Scout and Dill always wondered who Boo Radley was because he never came out of his house). Then there's Dill, who was a close friend of Jem and Scout's (he always spent the summer with his Aunt across the street); Tom Robinson was a black man convicted of raping Mayella Ewell. Mayella lived out in the country, didn't go to school, and just worked for her family. Miss Stephanie Crawford lived across the street and always gave advice to Jem and Scout. Also
Atticus was a lawyer and he was defending Tom Robinson, who was convicted of raping Mayella Ewell. There was a big court battle after many witnesses and questions Tom Robinson was found guilty on very little evidence. Tom Robinson was then shot later trying to escape from jail. Jem, Scout and Dill always wanted to know what Boo Radley looks like. They always tried to lure him out of his own house. They tried to send messages to him by a fishing pole, but they could never figure out why he doesn't come out. Mrs. Dubose lived down the street from the Finch's and when ever Jem and Scout used to walk by she would tell them that there dad was a "nigger lover." One day Jem got really mad at this pestering, so he took some hedge clippers and cut up all her hedges. For punishment Jem had to read to her after school for a month. Soon after Mrs. Dubose died. Miss Maudie lived across the street from Jem and Scout and she always use to bake cakes for them. But early one morning her house caught on fire and she lost everything. One night after Jem and Scout got in a fight, they were both sent to their rooms. When Scout reached her room and had shut the door behind her she had found Dill hiding under her bed. Dill had run away from home and stayed with his Aunt for the rest of the summer. O
