PRESENTATION OUTLINE
D-eceiving thing, Dill Harris is. He tells so many lies that even when he tells the truth, he's still lying. You can tell he's lying too, just look at his lips and if they're moving, he's telling another fib. "Dill Harris could tell the biggest ones I ever heard. Among other things, he had been up in a mail plane seventeen times, he has been to Nova Scotia, he had seen an elephant, and his granddaddy was Brigadier General Joe Wheeler and left him his sword." (Lee 63).

I-dealist is a way to describe Dill's more creative and optimistic outlook on things. He constantly daydreams and his very imaginative, his head "teemed with eccentric plans, strange longings, and quaint fancies." (Lee 10)

L-ooking back, Dill constantly shows the color yellow, which represents deceit but it also represents friendships and strength. Dill "...could tell the biggest ones I ever heard." (Lee 63), he helped Scout and Jem's relationship and all three of their friendships grow stronger, "He played the character parts formerly thrust upon me...Thus we came to know Dill as a pocket Merlin..." (Lee 10).

Listening to Scout and Jem tell the stories of Boo Radley to Dill, he becomes fascinated. Dill is the main instigator of the Boo Radley mystery, "...Dill gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out." (Lee 16) and Dill also "bet Jem The Gray Ghost against two Tom Swifts that Jem wouldn't get any farther than the Radley Gate." (Lee 16).

H-ow or if Dill has any common sense was beyond Scount and Jem. Dill was Curios George, "The Radley Place fascinated Dill. In spite of our warnings and explanations it drew him as the moon draws water..." (Lee 10). Dill, just like Curious George, had some sense in him though because "...it drew him no nearer than the light-pole on the corner, a safe distance from the Radley Gate. There he would stand, his arm around the fat pole, staring and wondering." (Lee 10), just like Curious George is fascinated by many things that he will observe and daydream about from afar before ever going close.
