Dill has a completely different point of view from the other characters because he is not from Maycomb.  He is an outsider, like Dolphus Raymond (check out the scene during the trial when the two of them talk for ideas), so Dill sees things from a more objective perspective than Scout and Dill.  \nHe also has more life experience than the other kids and is more cynical than them, so he is able to see the trial from a view point that is more akin to Atticus's.  One of the things that he's especially bothered about in the trial is how the prosecuting attorney, Mr. Gilmer, treats Tom Robinson on the stand- he calls Tom names like "boy" and refers to him as a "big buck" or an animal.  Dill sees that these are offensive and racist and he understands that Tom is not getting a fair trial.  He cries because of this and also because most of the other people in the audience do not even blink when Tom is so mistreated.  He is saddened by the world and not at all surprised when Tom is found guilty.

It's by Stephen Crane.  Here's the SparkNote link, too, since you don't have your book: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/redbadge/ Good luck!

I would remake To Kill a Mockingbird.  I would cast David Straithirn as Atticus Finch and Taye Diggs as the black guy accused of murder.

From Bookrags  ( http://www.bookrags.com/notes/tkm/SUM.htm ) :\n\nTo Kill a Mockingbird is a coming-of-age story of Scout Finch and her brother, Jem, in 1930's Alabama. Through their neighborhood meanderings and the example of their father, they grow to understand that the world isn't always fair and that prejudice is a very real aspect of their world no matter how subtle it seems.\n\nThe summer when Scout was six and Jem was ten, they met Dill, a little boy who spent the summer with his aunt who lived next door to the Finches. Dill and Jem become obsessed with the idea of making Boo Radley, the neighborhood recluse, come out of his home. They go through plan after plan, but nothing draws him out. However, these brushes with the neighborhood ghost result in a tentative friendship over time and soon the Finch children realize that Boo Radley deserves to live in peace, so they leave him alone.\n\nScout and Jem's God-like father, Atticus, is a respected and upstanding lawyer in small Maycomb County. When he takes on a case that pits innocent, black Tom Robinson against two dishonest white people, Atticus knows that he will lose, but he has to defend the man or he can't live with himself. The case is the biggest thing to hit Maycomb County in years and it turns the whole town against Atticus, or so it seems. Scout and Jem are forced to bear the slurs against their father and watch with shock and disillusionment as their fellow townspeople convict an obviously innocent man because of his race. The only real enemy that Atticus made during the case was Bob Ewell, the trashy white man who accused Tom Robinson of raping his daughter. Despite Ewell's vow to avenge himself against Atticus, Atticus doesn't view Ewell as any real threat.\n\nTom Robinson is sent to a work prison to await another trial, but before Atticus can get him to court again, Tom is shot for trying to escape the prison. It seems that the case is finally over and life returns to normal until Halloween night. On the way home from a pageant, Bob Ewell attacks Jem and Scout in the darkness. After Jem's arm is badly broken, their ghostly neighbor, Boo Radley, rescues Scout and her brother. In order to protect Boo's privacy, the sheriff decides that Bob Ewell fell on his own knife while he was struggling with Jem. Boo Radley returns home never to be seen again.\n\nThrough the events of those two years, Scout learns that no matter their differences or peculiarities, the people of the world and of Maycomb County are all people. No one is lesser or better than anyone else because they're all people. She realizes that once you get to know them, most people are good and kind no matter what they seem like on the outside.

could it be the teacher who made a difference?\n\nnot only i can give you the email but also the story behind it\n\n"I was the last one to bless the coffin. As I stood there, one of the soldiers who had acted as pallbearer came up to me. "Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. I nodded as I continued to stare at the coffin. "Mark talked about you a lot," he said. \n\nAfter the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates headed to Chuck's farmhouse for lunch. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting for me. "We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."

Harper Lee's, To Kill a Mockingbird.\n\nI have found  10+  summaries for you to look at, via the links below.\n\nhttp://www.lausd.k12.ca.us/Belmont_HS/tkm/\n\nhttp://www.awerty.addr.com/tokill2.html\n\nhttp://www.freebooknotes.com/book.php3?id=411\n\nhttp://www.antistudy.com/search.php?title=To+Kill+a+Mockingbird\n\nhttp://www.onlineessays.com/essays/literature/lit186.php\n\nThese links will give you a summary of the book, character analysis, plot and much more, so that you will be able to answer literary questions.  Here is a short extract of what you can expect from the summaries.\n\nContext\n\nNelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama, a sleepy small town similar in many ways to Maycomb, the setting of To Kill a Mockingbird. Like Atticus Finch, the father of Scout, the narrator and protagonist of To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee’s father was a lawyer. Among Lee’s childhood friends was the future novelist and essayist Truman Capote, from whom she drew inspiration for the character Dill. \n\nhttp://www.freebooknotes.com/page.php?link=http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/mocking/&book=411\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

To Kill A Mockingbird...one of my fav movies of all time!  The book was really good as well.  Scout had a lot of pre-conceived notions of a lot of different people in the beginning of the story.  She saw how Atticus reacted to those same situations, and also hearing him explain why she should never judge people.  This helped shape her life.  Especially when Atticus was defending Tom during the trial, he told her not to pay attention to anything that she might hear about him.  With Atticus as a role model, how could she not turn out to be very understanding of everyone, regardless of race, gender, nationality, etc.\n\nPersonally, I think we all need to pay attention to what Atticus taught his children.  I think the world would be a better place.\n\nBut I hope this answered your question.

That would be a simile.\n\nExample: "She was as quiet as a mouse."\n"He ate like a bird."\n"John acted as dumb as a rock."\n"When she was angry, she kicked like an annoyed mule."

"Said the robin to the sparrow, 'I should really like to know \nwhy these anxious human beings rush about and worry so.’ \n\nSaid the sparrow to the robin, 'Friend, I think that it must be \nthat they have no Heavenly Father such as cares for you and me.'"

I would think Boo Radley feels insignificant the whole time because he never comes out of the house.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_kill_a_mockingbird

"To Kill a Mockingbird" Is about a black man being accused of a crime he did not commit. This was mainly because he was black. It refers to a time when African Americans were labeled as bad and had no rights. Even though slavery had been abolished, segregation was still very active. Civiol rights means being allowed to live your life within the law and to have the rights of any other human being. Not being judged by the color of your skin. for example, Rosa Parks was not allowed to sit where she pleased on the bus. She had no civil rights. The character in "To Kill a MOckingbird" did not have the right of innocent until proven guilty: because of the color of his skin. This is what the African American community has been fighting for decades. Basic Civil Rights. I hope this helps.

"To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.\n\nIt's a classic tale depicting two forms of prejudice and demonstrating why prejudice is wrong and ofteb borne of ignorance. It's been taught in American and British schools for the last 30 years and is considered a modern classic.\n\nIt's also my favorite non-science-fiction book... EVER!
