TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD
To Kill a Mockingbird is primarily a novel about growing up under extraordinary circumstances in the
1930s in the Soutern United States. In To Kill a Mockingbird, author Harper Lee uses memorable
characters to explore civil rights and rasism in the segregated Southern United States of the 1930s.
Told through the eyes of Scout Finch, you learn about her father Atticus Finch, an attorney who
hopelessly strives to prove the innocence of a black man unjustly accused of rape; and about Boo Radley,
a mysterious neighbor who saves Scout and her brother Jem from being killed.
The title of To Kill a Mockingbird refers to the local belief, introduced early in the novel and referred to
again later, that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. Harper Lee implies that it’s unjust and immoral.
The events of To Kill a Mockingbird take place while Scout Finch, the novel’s narrator, is a young child.
But the sophisticated vocabulary and sentence structure of the story indicate that Scout tells the story
many years after the events described, when she has grown to adulthood.
To Kill a Mockingbird is unusual because it is both an examination of racism and a bildungsroman. Lee
examines a very serious social problem. Lee seamlessly blends these two very different kinds of stories.
