Monologue For To Kill A Mockingbird
Theme: Judgement
`` It was dead silence the only thing that could be heard was the wind blowing outside when all of the sudden I heard something squirming under my bed. It couldn't have been Jem. It was time for bed. We had already brushed our teeth and combed our hair. Atticus even read with me. I was tucked in all nice and cozy. But then what was under my bed. I was so scared. I knew Jem would make fun of me when he found out I got scared by something under my bed. I had to look for myself, I don't know how I got enough courage to look but I did. I looked over the side of my bed and in the moonlight I could see Dill.
Well I was so mad at him for scaring me half to death, that I pulled him out from under my bed. Asked him what he was thinking

Have you ever seen any of this? Dill asked curiously. Maybe he’s really lonely, and wants someone to talk to. Maybe we should go talk to him. It's not like he's going to attack us in the middle of the day, He will probably invite us in for cookies or something. Said Dill. No he's going to go insane if he seen us on his lawn. I'll go on that old man's lawn when hell freezes over.
They hear the wind blowing outside and a cool breeze moves swiftly through the room. Dill wraps himself in one of Scouts fuzzy blankets. It's late at night but the topic is still being discussed. About an hour into talking they can hear someone in the kitchen. They got quiet knowing that if there caught they will be in trouble. Dill should not be in Scout's room this late at night. Atticus had gotten up to get a drink of water. Finally they can hear the footsteps go back to the room from witch they came

So Boo Radley could be fine now. When's his birthday we should throw him a party”, rejoiced Dill. You must have been dropped as a child weren't you? He hasn't seen a human or had a conversation outside of his house in how many years we would give him a heart attack if we surprised him with a party. Plus we don't know when his birthday is, and nobody would show up. Everyone is afraid of him. We should do something though for him to come out and start getting used to people again. I bet he's all alone locked up in that old creepy house. Dill trembled, “Maybe he's tied up and needs help ns that's why nobody ever sees him”. No no don't be dumb they wouldn't have him locked up in his own house or at least I hope not. We should try and befriend him I’m sure he wouldn't mind too much. We could even ask him to come out and play with us. If town folks see him with us I’m sure they can trust and, start being his friend

    All of them were whispering among themselves and some of the men had evil eyes. "Now get out of the way Finch, you know why we here." Said another man. I stood broadly in front of the door, watching the evil eyes men and wondered whether or not I would be pushed or thrown out of the way but none of the other men seem like they want to berate me. Just as I was about to respond I heard a voice, "Hey, Atticus!"…

    When Dill arrives in Macomb and Jem and Scout show him around town they stopped at the Radley house and describe it as a scary place, which does nothing but intrigue Dill to want to know more. Except he is to scared to do it himself so he dared Jem to touch the house. This makes Jem say “I hope you got it through your head that he’ll kill us” (17 Lee) Which shows that Jem is scared. This is important because it shows that even though they have lived in Macomb their whole lives Jem is still scared to go near the house. The meaning of the passage is how Jem is scared…

    [Analysis] “....They do get on a lot better without me”, suggest that Dill feels neglected because his parents don’t care about his being. “I can’t help them any”, suggest that since he’s not a use to his parents anymore, he’s no longer needed. Dill’s family is not connected to say the least. He is sad because his parents ship him off each summer because they don’t care about him being in Meridian. However, Dill suck it up and move away from his “parents”, that shows courage because it’s hard running away from your parents and never seeing them again.…

    Dill shows his innocence through his yearning for attention. He doesn’t get hardly any absorption at home. So when he comes to Maycomb for the summer he tells lies even when he doesn’t need to. Scout knows that he could tell some “big ones”, but when she figures out that he passed around from one family member to the next she is very shocked. As dill gets older he doesn’t act out as much mainly because he is growing up and learning to deal with lack of attention.…

I can still feel that life crippling pit within my stomach as we pulled into Helen's driveway, seeing all those kids running around made my heart shatter into a million pieces with no hopes of being restored.

    Dill is a very imaginative friend of Scout’s. He is always making up imaginative stories and is fascinated with little things. I believe the reason that Dill is so imaginative is because he is modeled after Harper Lee’s real life friend Truman Capote. Truman Capote was also an imaginative person that played a large influence on much of Lee’s life. I believe that he is fascinated with Boo because of his childlike intuition. It also adds excitement to their lives and something to do each day. Since many people only know rumors of Boo, I believe that they would like to find out what the real Boo is like. What Dill brings to Scout and Dill’s life is a sense of adventure. It is a new person for them to play with rather than each other, and his imaginative stories make them want to go out and have adventures of their own. Although Dill often lies and runs away, I believe he is a mainly positive influence. He adds a feeling of excitement to their lives and agrees with Atticus’ beliefs of do not judge a person until you have lived a day in their shoes.…

    To Dill: A Film Analysis

    “Let's try to make him come out,” said Dill. “I'd like to see what he looks like”. (Harper Lee, 16) Here we see this thrilling, dramatic, electrifying 7 year old who wants to meet Boo Radley-- the town Boogey Man. What would cause an eccentric boy like Charles Baker Harris to want to meet Mister Arthur Radley? Perhaps Dill wanted to see a real life horror story come to life or maybe as a tall tale teller himself, he wanted to see Radley Place. There might even be an innocent reason, an adventure with his new friends. For all we know it could be sheer curiosity, but for the sake of literature there is a meaning behind it.…

    As the story develops, my understanding of Dill has also developed as well. From the beginning of the story, he was always a child who loved to be imaginative, and make up stories for Jem and Scout to act out. They asked him to make up stories and make up games to satisfy their boredom. Initially I had thought that Dill’s imaginative mind was just a result of his dynamic and curious personality, and that he was creative because there was nothing left but to be creative, before Scout and Jem had found him all of those summers ago. “The Radley Place fascinated Dill. In spite of our warnings and explanations it drew him as the moon drew water.” (pg 10) Dill was mesmerized by the stories that had been told to him about the Radleys, and his curiosity had overcome his fear of Boo, caused by the many rumors that were spread. He wanted to know whether or not the rumors were true, and what Boo Radley really was alive. He was not really fascinated by the Radley house itself, but the truth inside of it, and the parts of it that were left to his imagination. Imagination mostly occurs from curiosity, and Dill is a naturally curious child. When there is something that one doesn’t know, they tend to imagine what it is, such as Jem’s description of Boo Radley, “There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped.” (pg 16) Jem does not know for sure how Boo Radley looks like, so he makes up what Boo appears to look like in his imagination. Dill does this not only with cases involving Boo Radley but multiple other times as well. But as the story develops, Dill has evolved from a child who is carefree and uses his imagination to satisfy his boredom and curiosity, to a child who uses his imagination to escape from his life full of neglect. Both Dill’s mother and new father show no interest in Dill, and do not enjoy his company, so Dill uses his imagination to create a better life than the one that he has. Dill uses his…
