Unreliable Narrator &

Indirect Characterization

Unreliable Narrator 1: 

"Being bound in chains and left to die in the basement by his father, who disliked him, and secretly kept alive on raw field peas by a passing farmer who heard his cries for help,"

This example supports the theme but, Dill later admits it was a lie. 

This example supports the theme because, He lies to stay in their house. 

This example supports the theme so he lost his innocence, lied and ran away from their home.

Unreliable Narrator 2:

"There was a man that had a boat that he rowed across to a foggy island where all these babies were; you could order one..."

This example supports the theme but, it is clearly a story told to him as entertainment by his mother.

This example supports the theme because, he lies to scout about the man with the boat and the babies.

This example supports the theme so there isn't really a man with an island full of babies because that's now how babies are born. 

Indirect Characterization 1: 

"I realized that this was not a tactical question. Uncle Jimmy, present or uncle jimmy absent made not much of a difference, he never said anything. Aunt Alexandria ignored my question"

This example supports the theme but, shows that Uncle Jimmy barely contributed to the converstation"

This example supports the theme because, Scout doest want to be pushed to grow up and wants her Aunt to go back home with scouts uncle. 

This example supports the theme so Scouts aunt is pushing her to be a lady and to give up trying to be a guy.
