6. What do you notice about the narrative voice and viewpoint of the story?

 

I would like to answer all this in one idea.

Maycom Showed to be quite a boring town were poor action was seen, for that reason everytime something happens was important for the children. Thats why Dill dared Jem to go and touch the front door of the Radley place, they needed something to have fun on, and for this same reason, is why the children have invented that the Radley place is invaded by a ghost, Boo.

The viewpoint of the story is from a little girl, Scout, and changes as the story develops because Scout is everytime more and more mature.
