Author: Harper Lee
These week i began reading the book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I recently finished chapter one. To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic book based in a small southern town where not much happens written from a young boys point of view. This book is about racial inequality and how quick to judge some people can be if they don't know you.
During chapter one of this book the main characters and areas of the town are introduced. There is the narrator, Jean Lois Scout Finch, the narrators father Attacis Finch, the narrators brother Jeremy "Jem" Finch, Charles Baker "Dill" The two boys best friend who visits Maycomb only during the summer, Calpurnia, and Arthur "Boo" Radley. These are the characters who have been introduced so far in the book.
As for places in Maycomb that seem like they are going to be vital to the story, chapter one of the story is all about a house right across the street from the Finch's that belongs to the Radley's. This house nobody steps into the yard, nobody knocks on the door, they treat it like a very haunted house and every body keeps their distance. The Radley's son "Boo" was sent off to an assylum many years before for a series of strange town events the Radley's had always kept to themselves but now, after Boo's return the house is shut nobody knows when they go in and out, but they assume at night.
This first chapter of the book is very gripping and interesting. I am curious to see whats going to hapen next. I wonder if Boo Radly is going to show himself?
