  I've almost finished my book of To Kill a Mockingbird. So far what is happening is their best friend Dill has come up and surprised them. He ran away from home; when asked for the reason why, he came up with a story. Everyone knew he was telling a story, and he knew that they knew. When his aunt came by to see him, she was very upset, but in the end agreed to let him stay in Maycomb. So right now Dill is living with his aunt. Also Scout has recently found out what rape is and Jem is growing up and being much more boy like, well not so much boy like, but obnoxious teenage boy like. He has become a young man and he often wants to be left alone and have time to think. But Jem is still a great brother to Scout. Dill is also, as usual, very kind and caring towards Scout. It makes sense because he promises to marry Scout when they grow up. So the kids are having fun with Dill, getting in marginal trouble, and their father, Atticus, is still struggling to defend the case of Tom Robinson, who was accused of raping young girl Mayella Ewell. The book describes a few scenes when their father talks with some people involved in the case.
