Everyone wants to believe that they live an adventurous life, that they take risks and that the decisions they make truly matters but are their lives truly adventurous? The characters lives in To Kill a Mocking Bird are filled with adventure since the moment the story begins, they end up experiencing new locations, exploring the vast unknown due to their courageous genes and creating entertainment to make the less adventurous days far more interesting.

Instead, when events came up such as when she offered Walter Cunningham money to go buy lunch and he politely declined, she did not get the full reasoning behind why he would not accept her money. She was unaware that the Cunningham 's will not take anything they cannot pay back and he certainly knows he would not be able to return the money. Miss Caroline is unaware that him as well as his family is like this. If she would have grown up in the town, she would have known and would never have offered him the money.
