TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

Jean Louise Finch Scout and her brother Jem, live with their father, Atticus, in Maycomb,
Alabama. The summer before Scout starts school she and her brother make a new friend,
Dill. After several stories Dill becomes fascinated with the Radley house, where Mr.
Nathan Radley lives with his brother Boo, who hasn't been seen for years. 
When Scout starts school in the fall she and Jem find presents left for them in a knot
hole of a tree in the Radley's front yard. The next summer when Dill comes back the three
kids act out Boo's life. When Atticus becomes aware of this he puts a end to it right
away. On the last day of Dill's visit the three kids go to the Radley's house hope to
sneak a peak. When they hear a gun shot they run and crawl out from underneath a fence,
where Jem loses his pants. When Jem returns for them they are mended up and hanging on
the fence.
When fall returns the presents return, but eventually Mr. Radley fills the hole up with
cement. Shortly after that there is a fire at a neighbors. While scout was watching the
fire someone had came up and put a blanket on her shoulders. When Jem is convinced it was
Boo he tells his father about everything from the pants to the presents in the tree.
Atticus agrees to defend an African American man, Tom Robinson, who was accused of raping
a white woman. Since Atticus had taken the case his kids were tormented by the kids at
school. They were even tormented by their family while celebrating Christmas at Finch
Landing. 
The next summer Aunt Alexandria came to live with Atticus, Jem, and Scout. That same
summer Dill had ran away from his home to Maycomb. The night before Tom's trial a mob had
gathered around his jail cell. When the three kids arrived Scout had convinced the mob to
leave.
At the trial Atticus had given very clear evidence that the accusers, Bob and Mayella,
were lying. It was so clear that Jem, Dill, and Scout knew that Tom was innocent.
However, the jury which happened to be all-white, convicts Tom despite all the evidence.
While Tom was at jail he was climbing the fence, and the guards shot him and killed him.
Even though Bob Ewell got what he wanted Atticus and the judge had made him look like a
fool and he vowed revenge. He torments Tom's wife, breaks into the Judge's house, and
attacks Jem and Scout. Boo Radley comes to their rescue, kills Mr. Ewell, and carries
home Jem who was severely hurt. He stays and sits with Scout for a little then is walked
home by Scout.
