Comparaisons

We noticed some similarities between Harper Lee's life and the book.  First of all, when Harper Lee was a child, she was a tomboy and she loved to read.  That is similar to Scout in the book, because she doesn't like to wear dresses and she loves reading with Atticus.  Another similarity that we noticed between the life of Harper Lee and the book is that Harper's father was a lawyer.  In the book, Atticus is also a lawyer.  One final comparaison that we noticed was the one between Harper Lee's good friend Truman Capote, and the character Dill in the book.  Truman and Harper were best friends, but they didn't get to see each other that much.  Just like how Scout, Jem, and Dill were good friends but they only got to see Dill during the summer.
