'Hey yourself,' said Jem pleasantly. 
'I'm Charles Baker Harris,' he said. 'I can read.'
'So what?' I said.
'I just thought you'd like to know I can read. You got anything needs readin' I can do it....'
'How old are you,' asked Jem, 'four-and-a-half?'
'Goin' on seven.'
'Shoot no wonder, then,' said Jem, jerking his thumb at me. 'Scout yonder's been readin' ever since she was born, and she ain't even started school yet. You look right puny for goin' on seven.'
'I'm little but I'm old,' he said." (Lee 8)

-This is an introduction of Dill, when he first meets Jem and Scout. ]]> 2020-11-12 20:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/918360912 aadao101 https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/918380231 "Dill said striking a match under a turtle was hateful. 
'Ain't hateful, just persuades him-'s not like you'd chunk him in the fire,' Jem growled.  
'How do you know the match won't hurt him?'
'Turtles can't feel, stupid,' said Jem. 
'Were you ever a turtle, huh?'" (Lee 18). 
This is after we are introduced to Dill. While his friend, Jem is striking a match under a turtle, Dill empathizes with it, thinking that it is wrong. Here, the readers compare the two characters, Jem and Dill. Jem, who doesn't see anything wrong with the situation, and Dill, who does not want to harm the turtle. This shows the readers that Dill is empathetic, and thinks about others. ]]> 2020-11-12 20:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/918380231 kntran124 https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/918430721 2020-11-12 20:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/918430721 aadao101 https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/918456250 "Dill was a villain's villain: he could get into any character part assigned to him, and appear tall if height was part of the devilry required. He was as good as his worst performance...' (Lee 52).   
Dill is able to play any part. It shows he was a adaptable character who could act and was capable of well-done theatrics.]]> 2020-11-12 20:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/918456250 aadao101 https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/918470243 After Dill returns to Maycomb, the narrator describes some of Dill's actions before he left in the summer, which is shown in a humorous and quirky way. "Dill was in hearty agreement with this plan of action. Dill was becoming something of a trial anyway, following Jem about. He had asked me earlier in the summer to marry him, then he promptly forgot about it. He stalked me out, marked me as his property, said I was the only girl he would ever love, then he neglected me. " (Lee 55). 
Dill asks his friend to marry him, calling him a girl, then forgets about him. What this says about Dill is that he is a confident boy with an active imagination, as shown in this scenario. It also reveals that Dill is funny, and mischievous. ]]> 2020-11-12 20:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/918470243 aadao101 https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/930101555 "The Idea of the Radley Place fascinated Dill. In spite of our warnings and explanations it drew him as the moon draws water, but drew him no nearer than the light-pole on the corner, a safe distance from the Radley gate. There he would stand, his arm around the fat pole, staring and wondering," (Lee 10).  
This quote clearly illustrates Dill's curiosity of the Radley Place to the readers. He is entranced by it. Even though he is warned not to go near, no one can stop him from wandering towards it. He has a strange fascination with the Radley Place, and he wants to explore even if it puts him at risk. Dill becomes very stubborn at the notion of exploring the Radley place so satisfy his curiousity. ]]> 2020-11-17 03:58:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/930101555 kntran124 https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/933050902 "Dill was a curiosity. He wore blue linen shorts that buttoned to his shirt, his hair was snow white and stuck to his head like duckfluff..." (Lee 9).  

-White is associated with innocence and purity, in which describes Dill in some aspects. He is a naive boy, who spends the summer in Maycomb, and is not familiar with the in and outs of the town. 

"'I'll think I'll be a clown when I get grown,' said Dill. 
Jem and I stopped in our tracks.
'Yes sir, a clown,' he said, "there ain't one thing in this world I can do about folks except laugh, so I'm gonna join the circus and laugh my head off.'
'You got it backwards, Dill,' said Jem. 'Clowns are sad, it's folks that laugh at them.' (Lee 289)

-This conversation paints the image of a sad clown that symbolically represents Dill, as because he was upset because of the trial he believes that being a clown would bring him happiness. As a young, naive child, he wants to think that being a clown and laughing would help him not feel sad because all he would have to do is laugh. The sad clown symbolizes his emotions regarding what had recently happened and his personality. ]]> 2020-11-17 17:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kntran124/xjzo2aloxhw6folk/wish/933050902
