The book is about a family with a lawyer for a father in a southern town.The father takes on a case of a black man and because the story takes place back when racism was a huge problem, the town treats the family differently. Jean Louise Finch is an adult telling the story of her past. She starts the book mentioning an injury her brother had gotten when she was six and how it affected him. She also mentions that her ancestor Simon Finch who fled England to escape religious persecution. He started a new life and started a very successful farm known as Finches Landing. The story is great so far. The book is continuous but is told in the prospective of a six year old girl. The author only uses one view point and that is scouts because it brings in the reader, its interesting to read how the little girl reacted to everything.
Questions:
I think Harper Lee wrote the book in the little girls prospective because it draws in to reader, and the girls reactions are unforgettable.
If the book was written in the voice of someone else it would have been completely different because an adult would not have had the same reactions or seen it the way a child would.
