Mockingbird So Far

So far, we know that To Kill a Mockingbird is written by Harper Lee. The story is in a narrative form of memoir of a critical event of the female protagonist - Scout. The story is so far about how her school life goes. From the current section, we know that her dad, Atticus Finch is a wise man. He made many comments that seem deep and true. We also get a hint that the family holds less prejudice against blacks as they have a black cook named Calpurnia. Scout and her brother Jem met this guy called Dill, and they are messing with Boo Radley, a freak in the community. Boo Radley is rather a mysterious character so far, but he seems harmless when Jem's pants were mended. He is a recluse from what we know, living only on Radley place. Other than that, we get an idea about the peaceful (at least for now) atmosphere in southern small communities. The worry-free states of the people there is pretty awesome. Some of them holds high morals. "“Remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.” “Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
