To Kill a Mockingbird Challenge Assignment
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is an excellent novel about growing up in a southern town and how prejudices affected the way people were treated. Jean Louise “Scout” Finch learned the importance of being tolerant and she changes throughout the novel because of the experiences she has. Jeremy Atticus “Jem” Finch, Scout’s brother, has a close relationship with Scout throughout the book. Scout and Jem live in Maycomb, Alabama with their father, Atticus Finch. In the little town there are many disputes about people and how they are different. For example, tragic events of the Tom Robinson case and the death of Mr. Bob Ewell taught Scout to more understanding. Scout became a matured, compassionate adult because of the experiences she had in Maycomb.
