In chapter 6, in the beginning, Dill had noticed that Mr. Avery was on his porch and then all of a sudden, they saw an arc of water falling from the leaves. This is considered imagery because Mr. Avery was actually peeing off of his porch. Dill said, "Mrs. Avery must drink a gallon a day!" (pg.13). When Dill said that, Finch had just noticed that he was peeing. Dill and Jim also argued over who could pee farther and Finch, of course, was being left out because she was a girl. This is an example of point of view because they all have different point of view on the situation. Finch says, "And then Dill and Jem argued over which one of them could pee further, and of course I felt left out again being a girl and all," (pg 13). The author's purpose of using imagery is let their audience visualise a big gush of water and then once they read more they figure out that it wasn't what they thought it was.

In chapter 5 of the book How to Kill a Mockingbird, Jean goes and visits her neighbor named Miss Maudie. Jean asks her if she thinks Boo Radely is dead. She replies with ''What a morbid question. I know he's still alive, Jean Louise, because I haven't seen anyone carry out a body,"(5). At this point, they both had different points of view weather he was alive or not because he never leaves his house. Another example of the different point of views is when Atticus finds out that the kids were trying to bother Boo Radley. However, Jem and Dill said to Atticus, “We’re askin’ him real politely to come out sometimes, and tell us what he does in there. We said we wouldn’t hurt him and we’d buy him an ice cream," (9). Jem and Dill were eventually gave in and told Atticus that they were playing the game that he said not to play about Boo Radley.
