To kill a mockingbird, 1st entry.
I have now read 10 chapters in the book:to kill a mockingbird. It is written by Harper Lee and published 1989.
The main characters are Scout (Jean Louise), she is the person that tells us the story, the other main characters are Jem and Atticus Finch. The story takes place in Maycomb in Alabama in the 1930's.
Scout and Jem, who's names really are Jean Louise and Jeremy Finch are siblings, Scout is going in first grade in the beginning of the story and Jem in the fifth. Their father's name is Atticus and they tell us that their mother died when they were little babies.The family have a housekeeper named Calpurnia (she's black) but they treat her like family. For example when it came a really cold and hard winter, Atticus asked if Calpurnia wanted to stay and that she didn't have to go home in the evening, on page 75.
Scout look's up to her big brother very much and have always dreamed about starting school, just like her big brother Jem already have. But school doesn’t really becomes what Scout expected it would, for example the new teacher miss Caroline Fisher have a new way to teach and they will not start learning to read and write until third grade, page 19. And because Atticus already learned Scout to read a little she gets punished in school by miss Caroline, page 24.
The story can be real, it's not any fantasy in it and it's a story that can be a reality because of Scout telling us her casual days from her life, but I don't think it's based on reality as far as I've read.
I don't really know what is going to happen, but in the story there is very much information and stories about Finch's neighbours named the Radley’s, and they are very creepy for example, they have a son named Arthur (Scout and Jem calls him Boo) who probably have some disorder which you can guess when the book tells us that he used to pop up in peoples windows during the night and he also stabbed his father with a knife in his leg. And because ”Boo’s” father who didn’t want his son in jail, told the judges he wouldn’t be any trouble anymore, the family kind of locked him up in their own house, due to, no one have seen him since then. On pages 11.
In the end of these chapters I’ve read there is also very much about Atticus, Jem and Scout’s father. That he in his work as an lawyer protect a black guy and many calls him a nigger-lover, and I think that those comments and this whole thing will take offence on Scout.
