To Kill a Mockingbird chapter notes

Three chapters in and I can already tell why this novel is studied at GCSE level. The language is not completely straight forward and there are a lot of interesting themes that have been introduced such as prejudice and racism.

I like how Lee has used young Scout as a main character to narrate the novel. Young people have really honest perception of everyday life events, and I really admire the honesty and open minded nature that Scout possesses.

The character, Atticus has a really strong grounding and is a good example to everyone. His anti-racist attitude sets a good impression to Jem and Scout, and the way that he breaks down prejudice and misunderstanding is to see things from other people's point of view.
