Why does the jury find Tom guilty? What role does Calpurnia play in the family and in the novel? Why is Dill an important character? What does Mrs. Dubose teach Scout and Jem?

How did Jem break his arm? What is the significance of the gifts Boo Radley leaves in the knothole? They are both at risk in the justice system of Maycomb. Wise men try to protect them both. To Kill a Mockingbird is told through the perspective of Scout.
