Who do you want to be friends with in the novel? Why? 

I would want to be friends with Boo Radley in the novel. I felt that he was significantly one of the mockingbirds in the novel, and I have extreme sympathy for him.

 
Boo Radley


Being accused of a crime long ago, he refused to meet the society because of the prejudice that he had been given by the society. Maycomb started to make fun of him and thinks that he is a monster or a creature. Jem and Scout once even believed that Boo Radley was actually a monster that eats animals raw and stained with blood!

This is not certainly a way to treat Boo Radley. Indeed, he has not interacted with the society, he was unable to do so. However, he tried to help the people that are in need. For example, during the fire, Boo Radley was the one who put the blanket around Scout to avoid her being cold. More significantly, he was the one who saved Jem and Scout by defending off Bob Ewell off them and even killed him.

Boo Radley was certainly a mockingbird, innocent but accused of things that he did not done, and the prejudice by the Maycomb Society. By making friends with him, he can realise that not everyone thinks him that way, and I certainly thinks that he is a nice guy to be with, someone who would protect you without condition at all costs.
