 For the adjective meaning deficient or lean, meager is the preferred spelling in American English. Meagre is preferred in all other varieties of English. Other than the spelling, there is no difference between the two forms.

Answer:

The American spelling is meager, British spelling meagre, the variations appear in the main entry in boldface entry words( being the most common spelling the one that goes first)

Explanation:

Some words that have a French, Latin or Greek origen change their spelling when it comes to britsh writting, some examples of it are: theater vs theatre, center vs centre. although there are many exceptions to this rule within mother English.

The dictionary entries may differ in the way they present the different spelling options according to the kind of alternative word they are offering.

How do the three try to contact boo radley
Lisa [10]

to Kill a Mockingbird,"  Boo Radley, who has been a recluse for the last fifteen years, captures the imagination of the children. In Chapter 5, Jem and Dill attempt to send a message to Boo by tying it to a fishing pole, then casting it toward his window.  However, Atticus catches them and they are forbidden to go to the Radley place without being invited. But, in Chapter 6, on a dare Jem and Dill decide to peep into the Raley's house window.  When a shot rings out, Jem hastens to safety so quickly that he catches his pants upon the fence and must remove them.  Later, he bravely returns for his pants, which Boo has mended.  This episode alters Jem's perception of Boo Radley as the kindness of the bizarre captive of fifteen years touches Jem.

These episodes further the theme of maturation in Harper Lee's novel.  The Radley place affords the children a chance to prove their bravery.  And, when Atticus scolds them, they display character by not talking back to him.  Also, they begin to become concerned with people's feelings who are outside their immediate circle.
