A mockingbird ("It's a sin to kill a mockingbird"-Atticus (for they don't cause trouble just sing their nice songs).

A writer uses four main ways to tell about characters: what they say, how they look (including mannerisms, habits, etc.), what they do, and what others say about them. Below you will find TWO characterization charts. You will find a category for the main Characters Scout, Jem, Atticus, And Dill. The colors on this chart show how each character relates to eachother. Try to find the resemblance. Enjoy these charts and we hope they help. -She is very smart but lothes school. || -His real name is Jeremy. -Doesnt mind to be around his sister at first. || -A self-respecting man who tries to be kind to everyone and everything. || -Dill likes to play with Jem and Scout. -He also has a facinastion with Boo Radley. -Dill also likes to tell fake stories about what "he did". || -"Scout leave Jem alone" or "give him some space Scout". || -Dill does not have a typical saying execpt he usually tells tale-tails. -And wonders what Boo is like ("I wounder what Boo Radley is like, wouldn't it be neat to meet 'em" etc.) || -Her real name is Jean Louise. -She has brown eyes and brown eyes. || -Jem is 10 at the beginning of the book. - His full name is Jeremy Atticus Finch. || -Atticus is almost fifty. -He has jet-black hair but it has more gray in it now. || -Dill is 7 at the beginning of the book and is really short for his age.
