TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD

To Kill A Mockingbird: Plot Line
This book starts out with a simple plot being narrated by Scout. Through the first 7 or 8
chapters, a load of descriptions and short stories are told to get a realistic picture of
what life is like living in Maycomb County. Only minor events occur such as the
introduction of all the characters, Gem and Scout meeting a new friend Dill, Scout
attending school, and probably the biggest: the introduction and old wives tales about
the mysterious neighbor Boo Radley. Some small events that increase the suspense were
Gem's pants being mended by an unknown person, and during a local fire, a blanket wrapped
around Scout by a stranger.
After the reader gets a true feel for life in the South, the action starts to pick up.
One day during school, a fellow classmate of Scout calls Atticus a Niger lover. Scout is
confused and asks her father what that means. This leads into the discovery of a big
trial that is going to occur which is about Atticus defending a black man named Tom
Robinson. Gem and Scout become even more suspicious after they see a lynch mob try to
attack Atticus and Tom, but Scout luckily comes to the rescue. As the book progresses,
the actual trial starts. The children sit with the Negroes for the final day, and listen
to the verdict of guilty. Later, Bob Ewell threatens Atticus that he will get revenge.
Finally, as Gem and Scout are walking home alone from a play one night, Bob Ewell attacks
them and tries to kill the children. Thankfully, Scout and Gem are saved by a mysterious
man who turns out to be Arthur Boo Radley.
