To Kill A Mockingbird

ok i first read this book in 6th grade for the battle of the books team. i really liked it. im one of those poeple that like old books. and this one isnt even too old it was published in 1960. so i bring this book up because we’re reading it in Enrichment and we did a fun project on it today. the book is about Scout (the narrator) who starts out being a 6 year old, tough, spunky girl. she has an older brother named Jem who is 10, her father Atticus, and her caretaker/cook Calpurnia. she explains life in the town of Maycomb, Alabama (fictional) in the 1930’s, right in the middle of segregation and the depression. she describes events in her own point of view from the people who live in the town and thier scandolous ways, to the rape case her father is on about a black man supposedly raping a white woman (her father is a lawyer). the book has some ‘’strong language” (i dont think so lol but thats me) and may offend some people but hey, thats what its for. so thats pretty much it off the top of my head. when we get deeper into it i will remember stuff and maybe update this. bye!!
