Okay! Thanks Ms. Sue!
You're welcome, Aaden.
In Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," Dolphus Raymond is a character who plays a minor yet notable role in the story. He is a wealthy white man in Maycomb County, Alabama, who is known for his unconventional behavior and lifestyle choices. Dolphus Raymond is often seen with a brown paper bag, which people assume contains alcohol. He is also known for associating with African Americans and having mixed-race children.
To gain a deeper understanding of Dolphus Raymond's character and role in the book, I recommend reading the relevant chapters, specifically chapter 16. You can find this information in any edition of "To Kill a Mockingbird."
