(English Literature) Why is the story spread over three years when the trial of Tom Robinson - the main event - takes just one day?
|
Although the trial is the core of the novel, it is what it means in the lives of the Finch family - as well as what it means to the town - that make it so interesting. Its repercussions are also important: Mr Ewell's bitter revenge has consequences as large as the trial itself.

(English Literature) Why are we told about Jem's broken arm at the start of the novel when the attack does not occur until the end?

Suspense is gradually heightened as events happen quickly, one after the other. We can't wait to see what happens! If the events were more spread out, they would lose their significance and the tension of the narrative would be lost.

(English Literature) Why is it important that we learn about Boo before we learn about Tom?

(English Literature) What is Dill's contribution to the plot?

Because he is an outsider to Maycomb, he has ideas that Jem and Scout never thought of, like making Boo Radley come out. More importantly, though, he is another character who has suffered as a result of other people's actions, so it is interesting to compare him to Boo and Tom.
