Prompt: Are there people in your neighborhood who are like any of the character types in the novel?Change the real person's name so his/her identity remains anonymous and describe how he or she is like a particular character.

Simple similarities between two people can be nauseatingly a like despite two major factors separating them from being identical: gender and age. Despite these two factors, people may still be nearly identical in personality. I have found that my neighborhood consist of people that are similar to people in Maycomb County.
Stephanie Crawford: tattle-tale, rude, snoop, gossiper, liar, over-exaggerator.
Rod Hanson: tattle-tale, rude, snoop, gossiper, liar, over-exaggerator. The two people are nearly identical, aside from the fact of gender. I have witnessed him tell on my brothers for doing minor things, but over-exaggerating and stating something to my parents that is far from accurate (tattle-tale, over-exaggerator, liar, gossiper, snoop, rude).
Aunt Alexandra with Scout: a strict, untrustworthy, and disappointing relationship
Matt Hill and his Aunt: a strict, untrustworthy, and disappointing relationship. The relationship between Scout and her Aunt reminds me of the relationship between my neighbor Matt, who is my age, and his Aunt. Matt has a curfew of 6:30 on week nights because his Aunt does not trust him. She is very strict, just how Aunt Alexandra is strict with Scout.
The fact that I have discovered through comparing my neighbors to the Finch’s neighbors, is that age and gender is beginning to matter less and less in our lives. People are becoming more similar to each other everyday because people are becoming role models, so other people want to be them, and they turn out to be. This is why people are becoming more and more similar throughout generations.
