Harper Lee & Scout To Kill a Mockingbird

Harper Lee & Scout Nelle Harper Lee, who used Harper Lee as her pen name, is the author of To Kill a Mockingbird Scout is one of the protagonists of the novel. She is the spritely daughter of Atticus Finch. The reader can notice many similarities between Harper Lee’s childhood and Scout’s childhood, as it is portrayed in To Kill a Mockingbird

About the Author Nelle Harper Lee was born 28 April 1926 in Monroeville, Alabama, the youngest of four children (three girls and a boy) born to Amasa Coleman Lee and Francis Cunningham Finch Lee. Monroeville was a small town, similar in many ways to Maycomb, Alabama, the setting of To Kill a Mockingbird. Both had stately courthouses, neighbors who knew everyone's business, and a mysterious, reclusive resident who fascinated and terrified local children. Lee has stated that Mockingbird was not an autobiographical novel, but that she borrowed scenes and characters from her childhood to flesh out Maycomb's landscape.

How do they compare? Harper Lee: Scout: A passionate reader, even as a child Playmates were older brother and Truman Capote (who grew up to write Breakfast at Tiffany’s and In Cold Blood) Reads before first grade; reads local newspaper as a first grader Playmates are Jem (older brother) and Dill (neighbor)

How do they compare? Harper Lee: Scout: Grew up in 1930s in small southern town in Alabama Father (Amasa) an attorney and Alabama legislator Scottsboro trials covered in state and local news when Lee was six years old Lives in small southern Alabama town in 1930s Father (Atticus) an attorney and Alabama legislator Tom Robinson trial occurs when Scout is very young
