I would describe Dill as curious and adventurous. However I would also say that he a little scared. I think that he is scared because he dared Jem to go and touch the Radley house but he wouldn't do it himself. All around though Dill is a carefree type of kid.
Chapter 1:
I would say that Dill is mostly curious and seeks information about other events. For example, on page 13, Dill said, "Wonder what he looks like?", referring to the Radley house. A few paragraphs later, he also stated, "Lets try to make him come out." This shows how Dill is a curious character trying to get familiar with Maycomb.
You both have great ideas about the character Dill. I agree that he is definitely curious, especially about the Radley House. One part of the text states that “…he would stand, his arms around the fat (light)pole staring and wondering.” (pg. 8) It also states, “The more we told Dill about the Radleys, the more he wanted to know, the longer he would stand hugging the light pole on the corner, the more he would wonder.” (pg. 12) I also like the other adjectives that you used to describe him such as carefree and adventurous. Well done!! Keep up the good reading!
chapter 2
When scout first thought of going to school, she saw it as an adventure. she was excited to go to school. Her teacher was harsh when scout got to school. SHE was upset that scout could already read. There was walter too, all in all, her day wasn't great. I have a feeling that her year will improve, as she becomes more accustomed to her life outside of school:Jem, Dill, Boo Radley, and her own home.
CHAPTER 4
PERSONIFICATION
This makes it more descriptive, because it adds a more detailed side to the passage. THis is good, because it shows more of what's happening in the chapter.
