The book To Kill a Mockingbird was written by Harper Lee.

             was published in 1960 then it went on to win the Pulitzer prize in.

             1961 and was later made into an Academy Award winning film. Harper Lee.

             always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is.

             regarded as a masterpiece of American Literature. There are so many.

             characters in this book that I can't name all of them. Here are most.

             of the characters.

             The Finch family contains of Atticus (The head of the.

             household), Aunt Alexandra (Atticus's sister), (Jem) Jeremy (The.

             oldest of Atticus's two children), (Scout) Jean Louise (The youngest.

             of the two . She also trys to be a boy by doing boy things). And you.

             can't forget their black maid. Her name is Calpurnia.

             Miss Rachael is Dill's aunt that lives in Maycomb. Dill is a.

             friends with Jem and Scout. According to Scout they are married. (Boo).

             Arthur Radley is the person that takes Jem back to his house after Jem.

             gets hurt by Bob Ewell. Tom Robinson is a black man that was accused.

             of raping Mayella Ewell. Bob Ewell is Mayella's father. He is out for.

             revenge on Atticus for what he did to him and his daughter. Mayella is.

             Bob's daughter who supposedly got raped by Tom Robinson. Judge Taylor.

             is the Judge of Maycomb County. Heck Tate is the county law official.

             I think the protagonist in the story is Atticus Finch because.

             he has the main part and he has the biggest decision to make. The.

             decision being whether to defend or not to defend Tom Robinson.

             To Kill a Mockingbird is set in Maycomb County, an imaginary.

             district in Southern Alabama. The time is the early 1930s, the years.

             of the Great Depression when poverty and unemployment were widespread.

             in the United States.

             The story begins during the summer when Scout and Jem meet a.

             new playmate named Dill who has come from Mississippi to spend the.

             summer with his Aunt Rachael. Dill is fascinated by the neighborhood.
