DEJ

Quote: "Jem wanted Dill to know once and for all that he wasn't scared of anything: 'It's just that I can't think of a way to make him come out without him gettin' us.' "Chapter 1(pg.17)

Analysis: The kids are talking about Boo Radley. They all are curious to see him and to find out his true character. Dill's character is very outgoing and is the most eager to do anything he can to see Boo. He dares Jem to walk up to the Radley house and smack the side of it and walk back. Jem is unsure if he wants to attempt such a dare. He feels that being scared of something is shameful. Jem's character is the type  to not express how he feels towards something.  Jem is close to himself and really does not like to tell others what he is feeling and also cares a lot for his pride.
