Background of the books

The book “TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD” is a story of Scout Finch and Jem, her brother, in the years of 1930s in Alabama.

The story is the narrative perspective of Scout Finch, in which people learn about the life of his Father, Atticus Finch.

By learning from the experience of their Father and meanderings neighborhood, they understand the true meaning of the world that no fairness exists against the prejudice (Terry, pp.22).
