Communication throughout the book

 

There are many examples of communication in this book, and they are all mostly related. It is very important to understand and notice most of the examples. This small essay will help you to do so. This is just like what Atticus told Scout: put yourself in other people's shoes and walk around in them.

Jem, Scout, and Dill are all related to the major examples of communication. One major example is Boo Radley. They make judgements about someone that they don't know. They listened to what everyone told them about him and didn't do what their father told them to do.

We notice there is no communication because the children do not talk to Boo, and they do not know what he is like. Communication between them starts when Boo Radley starts putting things for them in the tree. When the hole in the tree is filled, their only source of communication is eliminated. This is the moment when Scout wishes that she knew him. We start to realize that the communication made them understand Boo and have different thoughts about him.

The only reason that there is no communication is because of the children's ignorance in the beginning, and Boo Radley not being able to go outside. We know that Boo pays attention to them because he fixes Jem's pants when they get ripped after getting them stuck in his pants, and the things he gives them inside the hole of the tree.

We realize that Jem learns throughout the book when she takes Boo home. She stands on his front porch and that's when we realize that she does what her father said.
