This story takes place in a small southern town in
Alabama called Maycomb. The county was called
Maycomb as well. The specific locations that were
used in the book the most were the house of the main
characters, Finch's landing, the Maycomb court room,
and the Radly house. The time period of this book
was around 1935.
The central character, and the narrator of this
book is Jean Louise Finch, also known as Scout.
Throughout the course of the book, Scout changed
from an immature girl in overalls to a mature, young
lady.
Many characters affected this change, among
those would be her older brother Jeremy Atticus
Finch, better known as Jem. Scout looked up to Jem
and followed in his footsteps. For example, when Jem
and Dill Harris were planning to go to Boo Radly's
house to place a note on the window Scout insisted
that she tag along.
Jem also tried to keep her safe
like in the end when he tried to stop Bob Ewell from
hurting her, even though it would only redirect the
attack to him.
Another person who greatly affected Scout was
Atticus Finch, her father, he contributed to her
change by looking at her more like an adult than a
child. Anytime she had a question that a child would
not normally get an answer for asking, Atticus would
give her a truthful answer. He also set good morals
for Scout and Jem. For example, when she asked her
uncle a question and he didn't give her a truthful
answer Atticus got very upset about it, and later
answered it for her.
The next character who affected Scout would be
her Aunt Alexandre, a person that Scout did not favor
much throughout the book. Her Aunt desperately
attempted to turn Scout...
