To Kill A Mockingbird

Jem


Atticus Dill Scout Scout and Jem:
"When we were small, Jem and I confined our activities to the southern neighborhood, ..."(99)
Jem is Scout's older brother and they love each other very much and are very close to each other. Although, as Jem gets older, he and scout grow apart from one another. Jem and Dill:
"Jem whistled bob-white and Dill answered in the darkness." (50)
Jem and Dill are close friends which causes Scout to become jealous of their friendship. They are so close that they have formed a sort of language involving whistling. Scout and Atticus:
"Our mother died when I was two, so I never felt her absence...Atticus met her when he was first elected to the state legislature." (6)
This quote shows that Atticus is Scout's father because Scout is talking about her mother and father and how they met. Scout never really had a relationship with her mother. Scout and Dill:
"As he told us the old tale his blue eyes would lighten and darken; his laugh was sudden and happy; he habitually pulled at a cowlick in the center of his forehead."(8)
This quote shows that Scout and Dill were really good friends. They even planned to get married when they got older. Jem and Atticus:
"...son, I told you that if you hadn't lost your head, I'd have made you go read to her." (112)
This quote shows that Atticus and Jem are father and son. Atticus is stern with his children but he loves them and they love him too. To Kill A Mockingbird
