Answer 1

i think because she want us to know that they don't care where do they sit even if they beside black people(no offense) and to show that they have not created racial boundaries that most adults in this town have come to have.

Answer 2

In "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, having the children sit in the balcony is symbolic of racial segregation and prejudice that existed in society at that time. It underscores the separation of races in public spaces, highlighting the injustice and inequality prevalent in the community.
