To Kill a Mockingbird

By Kelsey Lehman

  • Scout's mom dies

    Harper Lee did not go into much detail about Scout's mother but her death played a major part in the book. If she had not died then Calpurnia would not have had such a major part in the Finches' lives. In a way Cal replaced Mrs. FInch. Also if Mrs. Finch had not died then Aunt Alexandra would not have moved to Maycomb. It also affected how Scout behaves.In he begining she is a tom-boy but if Mrs. Finch was still alive Scout would have been more lady like.

  • Dill comes to Ms. Rachels for the first time

    This is an important time for Scout because it brings out her ornrey side. It helps develop her character early on in the book. It also gives us a little insight on Dill. Since he is the instagator of the Boo Radley play and the one who got Jem and Scout in trouble numerous times. We are able to tell that he is fun-loving but a little wreckless.

  • Boo starts leaving things in the knothole

    This is important becuase it is the first time Boo tries to make contact will Scout and Jem. He leaves gum in the hole and Scout finds it and eats it much to Jem's discontent. This becomes a major part of the book and a major hint to Arthur's character. It shows how he is not the monster that everybody thinks he is.

  • Nathan Radley fills the knothole

    This greatly affects the Finche's lives. With Atticus defending Tom it buts all of them in great danger. You can see this when Mr. Cunningham and his group confront Atticus infrotn of the jail. If Scout hadn't interveined Atticus might have died. Also it degrades Scout and Jem because everybody calls them inappropriate names and ect.

  • Miss Maudie's house burns down

If Scout hadn't interveined Atticus might have died. Also it degrades Scout and Jem because everybody calls them inappropriate names and ect.
