I would choose to be friends with Dill. The world is quite evil, any way you look at it. Evil in fact is quite a general term. To take a life is evil. To kill a tree, that is also evil. Evil is all around us, it cannot be measured. Dill takes a light view of everything. He chooses to laugh at everything instead of being too serious about it. Dill is innocent and in a way naive. He does not bother much about the world and no matter what happens, he always has a way to make light of it. He even wants to be a ' clown ' that cheers people and himself up. Thus, it would be great to have a friend like him who can cheer me up even when I am down.

Naturalistic(Mockingbirds)

Natural Habitat: Open Woodland; open country with thickets; gardens; orchards

Distribution: Southern Canada; Most of USA and Mexico; Parts of carribean

Maycomb is a pretty poor country and I suppose much of the revenue in Maycomb is generated through farming or other agricultural activities. Large spaces of empty farmland are very suitable for Mockingbirds to breed and crops from the farmland can help feed the mockingbirds. Also, as shown from the distribution above, Mockingbirds are often found in America, which is where Maycomb is located at.

Some extra things I have found out about TKAM:

One of the definitions of a mockingbird in the story is "good being destroyed through contact with evil." Under this definition, a good example would be Jem Finch. But even his name has a reason to it. A Finch is also a kind of bird, a small bird, which could possibly be used to show the vulnerability to the evils of the world. Mockingbirds are also very territorial creatures and are also very brave, sometimes even fighting(and failing) dogs and cats who intrude their territory. This is seen in some parts of the novel where Jem himself attempts to fight of any who might bring harm to his family and also where he stands up for his father in spite of the country waiting to lynch him.

What do I feel about the Multiple Intelligence Test?

According to the test, I am intrapersonal and naturalistic. I feel that this is very true as i feel i do know about myself quite well, my strengths and my weaknesses. That is not to say that I can manipulate my strengths and weaknesses well enough. I am also a very naturalistic person.I may not necessarily be a very outdoor kind of person but i still feel a strong connection to nature.
