1. To Kill A Mockingbird Author, Harper Lee.
Project by, Christina M.

2. Why this book?
Didn’t like my first novel choice 1984 by George Orwell.
1984=complex language
I love historical fiction books and TKAM takes place during the time of the Great Depression, 20 years before the civil rights movement
The language of To Kill A Mockingbird is more simple.

3. (Meet her teachers, classmates Burris Ewell)
Summery
Part two
Mostly deals with Atticus’s involvement during the Tom Robinson trial
Basically the trail started due to the fact that Tom Robinson has been accused by Bob Ewell (Burris’s dad) of raping his daughter Mayella
As the court rules either guilty or not guilty Bob Ewell still felt embarrassed due to Atticus’ testimony.
He gets revenge on Atticus through harming Atticus’ children but is later killed by Boo
In the end the children begin to reflect on Atticus’ advice and apply it to the situation of Bob
Part one
Introduces Scout along with her family
Scout introduces the readers to her neighbors (The Radleys, Miss Maude, Mrs Dubois)

When the talk about Mrs Dubose came into place Atticus gave his children his most famous advice, “you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them.”
