Some people cover up who they really are just so people will talk about them. So people will have something to talk about. A good example would be Mr. Dolphus Raymond. He carries around a paper sack and the folks of Maycomb assume that it is alcohol. When it is, in fact, just regular Coca-cola. He does not drink.He comes to town acting like he is drunk to give soemthing to talk about.
The reason Dolphus Raymond carried it around was because he thinks that it is a good reason to "give em hell". Them refers to Maycomb County.
It really makes you think about our society and the way people really are. I mean people do things and say things and act a certain way just so they are talked aboult. This is especailly something that happens in high school. People do things just for attention. But I guess thats just the way people want to live their lives.
Like Mr. Raymond said "They could never- never understand that I live like I do because that's the way I like to live."(201).
=] just something for yall to think about.

Yeah if any one had Arnold she always talked about this kid who pretended to be goth to see what people would say about them ... This post reminds me of that
Why do people change? Because they can, because it's fun, because they want to stir things up a bit and set tongues a waggin'
I think the author just made this character to show that sometimes you infer things about people that aren't true.
