TITLE: “Growing Up in Maycomb” CHAPTER ONE TITLE: “Growing Up in Maycomb” Summary: Scout, the narrator, remembers the summer that her brother Jem broke his arm, and she looks back over the years to recall the incidents that led to that climactic event. Scout provides a brief introduction to the town of Maycomb, Alabama and its inhabitants, including her widowed father Atticus Finch, attorney and state legislator, Calpurnia, their "Negro" cook and housekeeper, and various neighbors. The story starts with the first summer that Scout and Jem meet Dill (full name Charles Baker Harris), a little boy from Meridian, Mississippi who spends the summers with his aunt, the Finch's next-door neighbor Miss Rachel Haverford. From the children's point of view, their most compelling neighbor is Boo Radley, the town ‘freak’ whom none of them have ever actually seen. Dill's fascination, in particular, leads to all sorts of games and plans to try and get Boo to come outside. Their attempts culminate in a dare to Jem, which he grudgingly takes. Jem runs into the Radley's yard and touches the outside of the house.

A SUMMARY in less than 50 Words… The reader is introduced to the narrator, Scout, a six-year-old “tomboy”, who describes her family's history and her town, Maycomb. She and her brother, Jem, are also introduced to Dill, and the children share stories and fantasies about the mystery man next door, Arthur “Boo” Radley.

Important Information - Getting to know the Characters Other Important Characters: Dill (Charles Baker Harris) - from Meridian, Mississippi - staying with his aunt, Miss Rachel Haverford Calpurnia - Finch’s cook & housekeeper Arthur (Boo) Radley - Lives three doors to the south - The town “freak” Mr. Nathan Radley - Boo’s brother Miss Stephanie Crawford - neighborhood gossip Mrs. Henry Lafayette Dubose - crotchety, old, mean woman - lives two doors to the north Finch Family: Atticus (father / lawyer) - has a distaste for criminal law Jem (Jeremy Atticus Finch) - broke his arm badly when he was nearly 13 - saddened over his mother’s death - touches the Radley house on a dare Scout (Jean Louise Finch) - Narrator of the story (1st Person POV) - story told as a flashback from an adult Jean Louise Uncle Jack Finch doctor; Atticus’ brother Aunt Alexandra - Atticus’ sister; lives on Finch’s Landing

Important Quotation: Getting to Know the Setting “Maycomb was an old town, but it was a tired old town…In rainy weather the streets turned to red slop. Grass grew on the sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square. Somehow, it was hotter then…Men’s stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning. Ladies bathed before noon, after their three o’clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum. People moved slowly then…A day was twenty-four hours long but seemed longer. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County” (Lee 6). Important Quotation: Getting to Know the Setting

Innocence / Loss of Innocence Dill – Age 7 Jem – Age 10 Scout – Age 6 THEME: Innocence / Loss of Innocence Dill – Age 7 Jem – Age 10 Scout – Age 6

Personal Connection Questions: Think about your family heritage. What do you know about your ancestors? Is there a town “freak” like Boo Radly that lives in Crystal Lake? What rumors are there about this person? Have you ever accepted a dare from someone? What did you have to do?

Quotation Matching: Who said that quote? “I just thought you’d like to know I can read. You got anything needs readin’ I can do it.” “You look right puny for going on seven.” “Our mother died when I was two, so I never felt her absence.” Let’s try to make him [Boo Radley] come out. I’d like to see what he looks like.” “Touch the house, that all? I don’t want you hollerin’ something different the minute I get back.” Scout Jem Dill Atticus Review Game

Chapter 1 REVIEW QUESTIONS: 1. What is the name of the neighborhood gossip from whom Jem gets most of his information? 2. What does Jem say that lets Scout know that he is scared?  3. How might Scout’s age affect this story’s point of view? 4. List two examples of Scout, Jem, and/or Dill’s INNOCENCE. 5. Why are the children so interested in Boo Radley?
