Maycomb in the 1930's

The story is told through the eyes of Scout Finch.

Lee uses many characters to teach a lesson about deceptive appearances.

One example is when Bob Ewell's threat towards people involved in the court case.

There are many references to real world events and people throughout the novel (e.g., the Great Depression, President Roosevelt, the Civil War).

Mockingbirds represent innocent creatures who deserve to be protected.

One example of this is in the opening line of the book when Scout states that Jem broke his arm when he was 12.

"The fire was well into the second floor and had eaten its way to the roof"

Scout is afraid Jem will get shot going back to get his pants from the Radley house, but she doesn’t want to tell Atticus and get Jem in trouble.

Boo is considered to be a disgrace and a freak in Maycomb. However, in the end, he saves the children from almost certain disaster.

“True enough, she had an acid tongue in her head…”

"Her hand was as wide as a bed slat and twice as hard."

"…As I inched sluggishly along the treadmill of the Maycomb County school system, I could not help receiving the impression that I was being cheated out of something."

"Two geological ages later, we heard the soles of Atticus’s shoes scrape the front steps."

"The air was so cold and clear we heard the courthouse clock clank, rattle and strain before it struck the hour."

"Go slow on the road."

"Go slow on the road."

"Toss the glass, boss."

"...we would stand still and silent until he was out of sight..."
