To Kill a Mocking Bird
To Kill a Mockingbird is based in about 1935, right in the middle of the depression. It is placed in a small town in Alabama called Maycomb. Like most small southern towns, it has a problem with widespread racism toward African Americans. The novel focuses on a family named the Finches. In the family there are three people, Scout, Jem and Atticus.

Atticus told them to go home, but they refused. Suddenly, Scout saw a man that she knew, Mr. Cunningham. She said hi to him, twice before he acknowledged her. She began asking him questions about his entailments and...
