To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic novel by Harper Lee, published in 1960. The story is set in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama in the 1930s and follows the story of a young girl named Scout Finch as she navigates the complexities of race, class, and morality in the Deep South. Here is a timeline of the key events in the novel:
Maycomb is a small, sleepy town where everyone knows everyone else. The Finch family has lived in Maycomb for several generations, and Scout's father, Atticus Finch, is a respected lawyer.
Scout starts school, but she doesn't like it much. She prefers to spend her time playing with her brother Jem and their friend Dill.
A new family moves into town: the Radleys. The Radleys are strange and keep to themselves, and there are all sorts of rumors about them. Scout and Jem are curious about the Radleys and try to get a glimpse of them, but they are always unsuccessful.
Atticus is appointed to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a white woman. Atticus knows that Tom is innocent, but he also knows that he will face an uphill battle in a town where racism is rampant.
Scout and Jem become friends with a mysterious man named Boo Radley. Boo is the reclusive son of the Radley family, and he has been locked up in the house for years. Despite their initial fear of Boo, Scout and Jem come to see him as a kind and gentle person.
The trial of Tom Robinson takes place, and Atticus does his best to defend him. However, the all-white, all-male jury convicts Tom, and he is sentenced to life in prison.
Scout and Jem are devastated by the verdict and struggle to understand the injustice of it all. Atticus tries to explain to them that sometimes the world is a cruel place, but that they should always try to do what is right.
Scout, Jem, and Dill sneak out one night to watch a pageant at the courthouse. While they are there, they overhear a conversation between Bob Ewell, the man who accused Tom of rape, and Mr. Cunningham, a member of the jury. Ewell is angry that Tom was found guilty, and he threatens to get revenge on Atticus.
Ewell attacks Scout, Jem, and Dill on their way home from the pageant. Boo Radley saves them and ends up killing Ewell in the process.
The story ends with Scout reflecting on all that has happened and the lessons she has learned. She realizes that despite the racism and injustice that exists in the world, there are also good people who are willing to stand up for what is right.
To Kill a Mockingbird timeline
Ain't no snot-nosed slut of a schoolteacher ever born c'n make me do nothin'! Miss Caroline picked up her ruler, gave me half a dozen quick little pats, then told me to stand in the corner. The sheriff hadn't the heart to put him in jail alongside Negroes, so Boo was locked in the courthouse basement. This builds Jem's character and later decisions that he makes. But I suppose it's a morbid subject. Calpurnia gives Atticus informing him the kids have gone missing. Late Spring, Early Summer Reverend Sykes helps the kids find a seat in the crowded courthouse.
Atticus very quickly induced him to tell us: Tom was twenty-five years of age; he was married with three children; he had been in trouble with the law before: he once received thirty days for disorderly conduct. Dubose insulting Atticus for defending Tom Robinson, snaps. By inviting William Cunningham, Scout gets taught a lesson in judgement. We found significance in this because, Dil latter developes the Boo Radley incident. Atticus gives his closing remarks to the jury.
He slapped me and I tried another left, but a punch in the stomach sent me sprawling on the floor. She says my children are missing, haven't turned up since noon. Atticus took it and tried to read it. Tate, I was shut up in my costume but I could hear it myself, then. How Tom managed the crime because his left hand was damaged in a cotton gin as a boy. Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and James Chaney murdered in Philadelphia, Miss. They were people, but they lived like animals.
He crawled to the window, raised his head and looked in. Once he has heard of what the boys were doing he hides inside the Radley's property and catches Jem and Dil in the act. In the summer time, both Jem and Scout meet a boy named Dil, he is a boy who likes to go on adventure and he is playful. Tate found his neck and rubbed it. One day in the knothole, they find figures that resembled them in soap. Halfway through the night, Atticus wakes up the children because Miss Maudie's hous is on fire.
Jem flicked open the tiny catch to reveal two scrubbed and polished pennies. One of the Negros, Lula, doesn't like Cal bringing white children to Black Church. She is harassed by the Ewell every day she passes their house. I would lead him through our house, but I would never lead him home. They are curious why he does not tell them about the past. We went to Finch's landing every Christmas in my memory.
Then he ducked his head. Jem and Scout go with Calpurnia to her Church. Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house's yo' company. It was a pocket-watch that wouldn't run, on a chain with an aluminium knife. They never took anyhing off of nobody, they get along on with what they have.
A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up. Jem Scout And Dill become friends and play at the Radley house. She takes the gum home and shows Jem, Jem makes her spit it out. I followed the top of his head as he made his way to the door. Gilmer seemed as curious as the rest of us as to what bearing the state of Mr. Some of the men ought to go out there and tell that preacher to encourage her.
I spent most of the remaining twilight that summer sitting with Miss Maudie Atkinson on her front porch. Atticus comes home one day and becomes suspicious of their behaviour. Spring For the first time, Scout sees snow. That goes for the other two of you. There he would stand staring, wondering.
The next day, Scout sees everything about the town differently a. Miss Caroline doesn't understand till she is told about the Ewells. There's four kinds of folks in the world. Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house's yo' comp'ny, and don't you let me catch you remarkin' on their ways like you was so high and mighty! In chapter three we first see a form of prejudice when Walter Cunningham goes to the finches house for dinner and scout says 'By the time he reached our front steps Walter had forgotten he was a Cunninham' Also when scout says 'He aint company cal his just a Cunnigham' another clear point of seeing class distinction as Scout who is just a child sees him as just dirt. First signs of prejudice against Negroes in Maycomb d. Jem thought he had enough to buy a miniature steam-engine for himslef and a twirling baton for me.
