Chapter 1 - To Kill a Mocking Bird

Chaper 1

In chapter one we find out that the narraor of the book is a young six-year-old girl named scout. she lives in the 1930's in a small place called Maycomb based in Alabama, with her father Atticus, older brother Jem, and cook Calpurnia. People in the Maycomb town relates to one another either by marriage or by blood. They are a closely related community. The story starts when Scout and ten-year-old Jem find a boy called Dill hiding in the turnip greens of their next door neighbour. Dill seemed to become close friends with both Jem and his little sister instantly as their interests linked quite well with the two by revealing that he had seen "Dracula" already, which gives him immediate credibility. Throughout the summer these children had a determination to use differant ways of getting the reclusive neighbour, Arthur (Boo) Radley, out his house. It all became a bit of an obsession for the three. They focus their creativity and fun skills to make Boo Radley come out of the house. Boo lives in the same street where Scout and Jem live. There is a legendary story that Boo never comes out of his house and that all the mysterious events, which include the tiniest crimes in town, are his making. Nobody dares to pass by his house alone after dark. Jem and Dill had an amazingly fun idea. They agreed to run towards Boo's house, touch the house, and then ran back. Dill's first attempt was a success. The characters were happy to still be alive. Jem receiving a lot of teasing from Dill and she spent much time thinking about the act.
Eventhough Scout, Jem ans Dill has their intentions set of this idea of seeing Boo radley out his house, Their fear of him is relativly large.
