The story is narrated by Jean Louise Finch who is usually called by her nick name, Scout. They live in Maycomb with their father, Atticus. The first chapter goes on about Simon Finch who fled England and established a farm. This farm was called Finches Landing. Scout has a brother named Jeremy and is mainly called Jem. They meet a boy named Dill and they soon bond together. Down the road lives a family named the Radleys and the children are fascinated by Boo Radley. The children have heard stories about Boo stabbing his mother with scissors.

In chapter two, Dill leaves and Scout prepares for school. Scout meets her teacher Miss Caroline and finds out she is not very good with children. Walter Cunningham forgets his lunch and Scout offers him some money for food and says he can pay her back later but Walter does not take the quarter. Miss Caroline does not understand Scouts actions and punishes her.

In the third chapter, Scout beats up Walter for getting her into trouble. Jem intervenes and invites him over for dinner. Walter pours syrup over his food and Scout criticizes Walter for that. Calpurnia scolds her for criticizing him.

In chapter four, Scout notices a piece of tin foil sticking out of a knothole in a tree at the Radley's place. There is chewing gum in the tin foil. It is now summer and Dill comes back. As a game, Scout is rolled in a tire and hits the front door of the Radley's and she hears laughter from inside.

In the fifth chapter, Scout starts spending time with Miss Maudie. They talk about Boo. Meanwhile, the boys slip a note through Boo's window saying if he comes out they will have ice cream.

In chapter six, the kids go to the Radley's and peer through their window. They see someone inside and they run away. They hear a shotgun from the Radley's house. Jem looses his pants while he is running. Later he sneaks out to retrieve his pants. They are sitting folded and mended.

In the next chapter, the kids find a ball of yarn in the knot-hole but they do not take it. It is still there three days later so they take it. They later find many more things in the knot-hole. They soon find that it is filled with cement and Mr. Radley says the tree was dying.

In the eighth chapter, it snows. This does not happen very often in Maycomb. Later that night, Scout goes outside to find that Miss Maudie's house is on fire. While she is outside, someone puts a blanket on her. Jem thinks that Boo put it on her. The next day Miss Maudie is happy and says that she didn't even like her old house.

In chapter nine, Scout learns that Atticus is defending a black man accused of rape named Tom Robinson. Atticus' brother Jack comes to stay with the Finches over Christmas. On Christmas, they all go to Finches Landing. At Finches Landing, a kid named Francis calls Atticus a "Nigger lover" and Scout beats him up.

In the following chapter, there is a mad dog roaming about Maycomb. Atticus helps hunt it down and he shoots it after he drops his glasses. The children learn he used to be known as "One-Shot Finch"

In the last chapter, of part 1 chapter eleven, the children pass by the house of Mrs. Dubose. She yells something about Atticus and Jem gets angry at her. She does this for many days. Jem cannot control his anger and he destroys her flower garden. As punishment, Jem must read to Mrs. Dubose. Mrs. Dubose dies and Jem receives a box from her which contains a white camellia.

In this chapter, Atticus' sister, usually referred to as Aunt Alexandria, comes to visit the family. Aunt Alexandria disapproves of Calpurnia and tries to convince Atticus to kick her out and cut communication with her.

Later in the chapter, Scout and Jem get into a physical fight and only stop when Atticus pulls them apart and sends them to bed. When Scout tries to turn on the light on the other side of her bedroom, she stands on what she thinks felt like a snake. She tells Jem and he tries to check under her bed with a broom, until both the kids hear a grunt sound. Once both the kids realise that it's definitely not a snake, Dill climbs out from underneath Scout's bed. Dill complains that he's hungry and Scout goes and gets him the leftover corn bread.

Dill then explains that his new dad tied him up and left him to die in a basement, but he survived because a nice passing farmer fed pea pods through the ventilator. He eventually broke the chains off the wall and started to run away. He then walked two miles to get to Maycomb and landed at the Finch's house, but was scared he would get in trouble so he hid under scout's bed.

Jem alerts Atticus of Dill's presence, and Atticus gives him a meal and tells him to sleep the night. Dill then tells the truth to Scout that his father didn't try to kill him, he ran away because his father didn't give him any attention or care about him.

the chapter starts off with Dill mother deciding he can stay in Maycomb.
while they were all gathered in the family room that afternoon Mr Heck Tate knocked on the front door calling for Atticus.
The group informs Atticus as Tom Robinson's trial approaches he will be moved into Macomb country try jail "Moving him to the country jail tomorrow' Mr Tate says.
Atticus refuses afraid of a Lynch mob (group of people wanting Tom dead without trial.)

In this chapter, we see Aunt Alexandra change her attitude towards Calpurnia.  As Atticus, Jem, Scout and Aunt Alexandra sit around a table for breakfast, Calpurnia comes out and serves them coffee and food. Atticus is talking about a man named Mr. Underwood. He is described as a profane little man who despises darker people. It is explained that he dislikes dark people while Calpurnia is in the room. Once Calpurnia leaves, Alexandra waits for her to return again, before turning to Atticus and  tells him not to talk like that in front of Calpurnia. She says that he said ' Braxton BUnderwood despises Negroes' right in front of her!'

The prosecutor, Mr Gilmer question Heck Tate, who recounts how on the night of November 21, Bob Ewell urged him to go to the Ewell house and told him that his daughter Mayella had been raped. When Tate got there, he found Mayella beaten and bruised, she told him that Tom Robinson had raped her. Atticus cross-examines the witness, who admits that no doctor was summoned and tells Atticus that Mayella's bruises were concentrated on the right side of her face. Tate leaves the stand, and Bob Ewell is called. Bob Ewell and his children live behind the town garbage dump in a tin-roofed cabin with a yard full of trash. No one is sure how many children Ewell has, the only orderly corner of the yard is planted with well-tended geraniums rumored to belong to Mayella. An extremely rude little man, Ewell testifies that on the evening in question he was coming out of the woods with a load of kindling when he heard his daughter yelling. When he reached the house, he looked in the window and saw Tom Robinson raping her. Robinson fled, and Ewell went into the house, saw that his daughter was all right and ran for the sheriff. Atticus's cross-examination is brief: he asks Mr. Ewell why no doctor was called (it was too expensive and there was no need), and then has the witness write his name. Bob Ewell, the jury sees, is left-handed - and a left handed man would be more likely to leave bruises on the right side of a girls face.

Chapter thirteen begins with Aunt Alexandra moving in with Jem, Scout, and Atticus in Maycomb. She tells them that she has come to stay to help raise them, particularly Scout.

"… We have decided that it would be best for you to have some feminine influence…"

She is welcomed by the neighbours and soon becomes a part of the community. It is soon revealed that Aunt Alexandra is a gossip, and already has fully-formed opinions on the families in Maycomb, claiming they all have a 'streak' in their bloodlines and anything someone does can be explained by said streak. She also believes that some families are better than others (typically the rich being better than the poor).

In this chapter we also learn about Maycomb's founding and history; that it is inland because of a man called Sinkfield, who owned a tavern many generations ago (he did this by getting his patrons drunk and adjusting everyone's maps). If it had not been for him, Maycomb county would have been places in the middle of Winston Swam when a Governor called William Wyatt Bibb wanted to organise a seat of government.

We learn that due to Maycomb being so far inland, it was difficult to get supplies from boats that frequented rivers back then, leading to the town staying small and the people that lived there marrying each other until everyone was somehow related.

Back to Aunt Alexandra, she begins asking Scout into lunches with the ladies of Maycomb, when she comes in from outside. She concludes that Jem and Scout don't know enough about the Finch Family when Scout cannot identify her cousin, Lily Brooke, and tries to teach them about their cousin Joshua, who wrote poetry, but it backfires when it is revealed Jem knows too much about him.

"Is this the Cousin Joshua that was locked up for so long?... Why, Atticus said he went round the bend at University…"

After this, Atticus talks to Jem and Scout at Aunt Alexandra's request about their behaviour, and how "… you must try to behave like the little lady and gentleman that you are…"

This upsets them both, since it is so out of character for Atticus, and he ends up having to comfort them. When Scout asks if they really have to behave how Finches are supposed to behave according to Aunt Alexander, and that she can't remember everything she's supposed to do, Atticus expresses his own thoughts on the matter.

"I don’t want you to remember it. Forget it."

From this chapter, we can conclude that Atticus and Aunt Alexandra have very different ideas on what being a good person, or moreover a 'good Finch', is, and that Jem and Scout are being pressured by Aunt Alexandra to be people they're not, of which Atticus doesn't want but feels he must let happen to appease his sister and the townsfolk as a whole.

The chapter begins with Calpurnia serving the missionary circle that Aunt Alexandra invited over for tea. Scout is joining as well as Jem and Dill are swimming because Jem wanted to teach Dill how to swim on his last day as Dill is leaving (and they were naked).
Scout is helping Calpurnia bring the tea in which she says 'This was apart of her campaign to teach me how to be a lady.'
Scout sits at the table listening to the missionary circle discuss the plight of the poor Mrunas, as this conversation is unfolding Scout is showing the theme growing up as she is questioning what she wants to do when she is older and is wondering why the ladies surrounding the table have to wear hats to walk across the street.
the ladies the table are talking about how their black servants are behaving badly ever since tom Robinsons trial but Miss Maudie shuts off their remarks. Atticus appears and asks to talk to Alexandra in the kitchen, he then tells her, scout, Calpurnia and Miss Maudie  that Tom Robinson decided to escape and was shot 17 times.
Atticus takes Calpurnia to the Robinson family to inform them about the incident that has occurred.
Alexandra asks Miss Maudie how the town allowed this incident to happen, how he wrecked himself in a pursue of justice. Maudie replies that they trust him to do the right thing.  After this discussion they all return with Scout to the missionary circle to act as if nothing has happened and this incident hasn't taken place.

September begins and Jem and Scout are on the back porch when Scout notices a roly-poly bug. She is about to mash it with her hand when Jem tells her not to. She dutifully places the bug outside. When she asks Jem why she shouldn’t have mashed it, he replies that the bug didn’t do anything to harm her. She makes fun of him for being so sympathetic towards bugs. Scout thinks that Jem is the one who's getting more like a girl, not her. Dill has gone back to Meridian for the school year.   and she can't stop thinking about what happened the day before he left: how Tom was killed and how Atticus went to tell his wife the news.

# data[].attributes.body
The chapter started off with Jem crying. He was angry. Atticus was waiting in the corner of the square. They left and walked home. The next morning, people had left food on the back steps because they were grateful for what Atticus had done for them. Atticus says "Tell them I'm very grateful. Tell them - tell them they must never do it again. Times are too hard." Ms. Maudie bakes cakes in solidarity for the kids. The kids before they go inside the house Ms. Maudie begins to tell the kids something. Jem gets annoyed about the outcome of the trial and decides that he would want to be a Judge when he grow up. Dill wants to be a clown when he grows up. They then get told to go and stay in their backyard.

In chapter 31, the scene is set with Jem laying on a bed with his arm broken, along with Scout, Atticus, the sheriff, a doctor and Boo Radley all in the same room. In the previous chapter, Jem and scout were attacked by a drunk man (Bob Ewell) who intended to kill both the kids. Boo Radley saved them and Bob was found with a knife in his chest, dead on the ground.

It was later concluded that Bob must have fell on his knife in the dark. Boo Radley asks Scout to take him back to his home, and scout agrees. Boo retreats back into his house and is never seen again.

The chapter ends with Atticus sitting next to Jem whilst he lay in the bed, "He turned out the light and went into Jem's room. He would be there all night, and he would be there when Jem waked up in the morning."

# data[].attributes.body
In the aftermath of Tom Robinson's trail, in which he was found guilty, the town continues on mostly as usual - all except for Bob Ewell, who, as we find out in the opening of the chapter,  has spat in Atticus's face, threaten to kill him, and call him horrific slurs outside the post office, before leaving peacefully.

"Mr Ewell was a veteran of an obscure war; that plus Atticus's peaceful reaction probably prompted him to inquire, 'Too proud to fight, you nigger-lovin' bastard?' Miss Stephanie said Atticus said, 'No, too old,' put his hands in his pockets and strolled on."

Despite Atticus's relative indifference to Bob Ewell's threats, Jem and Scout worry that Atticus will really be killed, or at least hurt, and become distant until Atticus asks what the matter is. He abates their fears, and when summer rolls around they are again happy, but Aunt Alexandra isn't convinced they've heard the last from the Ewells.

Jem and Scout are assured nothing bad will become Tom Robinson until a higher court reviews his case, but still lament the fact he was ever found guilty in the first place when, in their minds, it was so obvious he was innocent. And so, Atticus reveals to them the hard truths of light, how, despite the fact that court should be an equaliser amongst people, a black man's word is still less than a white man's.

He also explains that thought Tom was found guilty, the trial was a baby step forward.

"'That was the one thing that made me think, well, this may be the shadow of a beginning. That jury took a few hours. An inevitable verdict, maybe, but usually it takes 'em just a few minutes.'"

Atticus also says that one man in particular took a lot of wearing down - a Cunningham. This leads to Jem and Scout realising that people aren't so black and white, and Scout goes so far as to declare that she will invite Walter Cunningham, a boy from school, back to their house for dinner come school time. Aunt Alexandra shoots down the idea, saying he and his family aren't their type of folks. After much questioning and pushing from Jem and Scout, the following exchange takes place.

"She had said Indeed Not, but this time she would give her reasons: 'But I want to play with Walter, Aunty, why can't I?'

She took off her glasses and stared at me. 'I'll tell you why,' she said. 'Because - he - is - trash, that's why you can't play with him. I'll not have you around him, picking up his habits and learning Lord-knows-what. You're enough of a problem to your father as it is.'"

After this, Jem and Scout head up to their room, and Jem tries to cheer Scout up by showing her his chest hair, signs he's growing up. Soon, she comes to the conclusion that Walter isn't trash, and that instead the Ewells are. Jem, meanwhile, says his own piece, that there are four kinds of folks in Maycomb County; the ordinary kind, like the Finches, the farmers, like the Cunninghams, trash, like the Ewells, and the Negroes.

Scout and Jem discuss this in detail, about how people are different and why. But then Scout says she recons that separating everyone like that is dumb.

"'No, everybody's gotta learn, nobody's born knowin'. That Walter's as smart as he can be, he just gets held back sometimes because he has to stay out and help his daddy. Nothin's wrong with him. Naw, Jem, I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks.'"

This leas Jem to get upset, and he's silent for a long time before Jem says that he used to think there were only folks too, but then he wondered why they can't get along if they're all the same, and that he decided they had to be different. The chapter ends with Jem saying he's beginning to understand why Boo Radley stays shut up in his house - which is because he wants to be.
