Hello Mr. Heverly. This is my post about the warm up, class work, or homework thingy. In the book of "To Kill a Mockingbird", the character Dill is based on a real man named Truman Capote. Truman was interesting by his personality, which was bold and creative. He also had a sad backstory of his family. As a child, Truman was raised not by his parents, but by his family relatives. The character Dill of "To Kill a Mockingbird" is exactly like Truman. Truman Capote is lifelong friends with Harper Lee, the author of "To Kill Mockingbird". Lee lived in Alabama with her father who was a lawer and her brother. Harper and Truman always played as children. So it's like it's a story of Lee's childhood, where Lee is portrayed as Scout and Truman is portrayed as Dill. AMAZING!!!!!!
