To Kill A Mockingbird

To Kill A Mockingbird is about Scout's life in early childhood and is told in her point of view. Scout tells us everything from her opinions on Jem growing up to how she views the events that occurred when her father decided to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a young white girl. The whole reason To Kill a Mockingbird was named what it was goes back to the story that Atticus …

…is the kind of lady who attends social events and constantly fusses at Scout for wearing overalls instead of a dresses like she thinks little girls should wear. To Kill A Mockingbird is interesting because Scout tells the story, like she is talking to a close friend or her brother. She allows one to know and understand her feelings as well as what she believes everyone around her feels during the 1930's in Maycomb, Alabama.
