In "To Kill a Mockingbird" people are not always what they appear to be. Explain how this relates to five characters.

The chief character who is not what he appears to be is Boo Radley. Jem, Scout, and Dill are afraid of him through much of the novel because he comes from a reclusive family and is almost never seen. They have also heard a story that he stabbed his father in the leg with a pair of scissors, making Boo seem a dangerous and unpredictable character. His house, near the Finch house, has the quality of a haunted house, and Boo seems to the children to be ghostly and spooky.
However, despite their fear of him, the children find out that Boo is, in fact, looking out for them. He puts a blanket around Scout's shoulder during the fire that burns down Miss Maudie's house. Later, he protects the children from Bob Ewell.
Mrs. Dubose: Jem and Scout hate their neighbor Mrs. Dubose because she is always insulting them in nasty ways. However, when Atticus forces them to read to her, they learn that she is a dying woman determined to shake a morphine addiction. They come to have a new respect for her courage and integrity.
Atticus: Just at a moment when Scout is feeling that Atticus is elderly and boring and has less to offer than the parents of her school peers, she discovers that Atticus is a courageous sharp shooter. She recognizes this when he is called in to shoot a rabid dog. Scout comes to see him in a new light as a person of great skill but modest about his God-given gift.
Walter Cunningham: At first, Mr. Cunningham leads a mob that wants to lynch Tom Robinson. However, after he is a member of the jury for Robinson's trial and hears what really happened, he wants to fully acquit Robinson. The children are surprised at his change of heart and find that he, too, is not what he seemed at first.
Calpurnia: Scout sees a new side of Calpurnia when she takes the children to her church. Scout learns that Calpurnia can speak African American dialect as well as the standard English she uses when working for the Finches. She comes to realize too that Calpurnia is embedded in a community outside of and apart from the Finch household.
