So far, Jem, Scout, and Dill are leading fairly easy lives. They’re still kids so they’re not aware to the real world yet. All three have a good education and a good family (at least Scout and Jem, don’t know about Dill yet). Not only that, but since Scout and Jem’s father is a lawyer, the economic drop that has swept across the nation hasn’t really hit them as hard as say the farmers that make up most of Maycomb County. Anyway, all three seem to be well of.
Scout, Jem, and Dill view Boo Radley with fear. To the whole town practically, whenever something bad or bizarre happens, it’s Boo Radley’s fault. But, other than that, I have no idea what role he’s going to play in the book. I bet it’ll be a major one though. Right now, it’s possible that Boo represents “fear itself”.
