For our collage, we covered many of the characters in the story and show how they affected the story. The characters that we represented are Scout (Jean Louise Finch), Jem (Jeremy Atticus Finch), Atticus Finch, Arthur "Boo" Radley, Dill (Charles Baker Harris), Bob Ewell (Robert E.

He sparks Scout curiosity and eventually helps Scout truly understand what it feels like to stand in someone else's shoe. Charles Baker Harris, or Dill, acts as playmates with Scout and Jem.

Dill although acts tough and often brags, is still shown to be an innocent and unknowing child. Bob Ewell is the drunk and part of the Maycomb's poorest family. He represents the dark side of the South, showing personalities such as ignorance, poverty, squalor, and hate-filled prejudice. Bob can also be the one who kills the mockingbirds, because his words and actions greatly disturb Scout and Jem. His hate for blacks and his harsh actions define him as the main antagonist of this story. Ewell is partly responsible for ruining Scouts innocence by exposing her to the cruelness of the real world. Tom Robinson is the African American that is wrongly accused of rape in the story by Bob Ewell. He is a worker who is
