The main characters in the book is Scout, Jem and Atticus. Scout, or Jean Louise Finch which is her real name, is sister to Jem, who's complete name is Jeremy Atticus Finch. They are both children to Atticus Finch, who is raising them alone without a mother. The truth is that Scout's and Jem's mother died when the were younger. The Finch's have a help in the house though, and her name is Calpurnia.
Atticus has two siblings, Jack and Alexandra. Alexandra is taking care of her grandson, Francis, who is not very popular with Scout and Jem.
I think that the story is rather realistic, although I cannot relate to the 30's, when it takes place. The characters seem true to life too. Except one man on the other hand, Boo Radley. Boo Radleyis a mysterious man who lives in a mysterious house on the street. He does not seem to be so true to life, even if the main characters are not really sure if he really exists.
Atticus
Atticus Finch is not only parent to Scout and Jem, he is also a lawyer in the town. But I think he is a good father, he takes care of his children and tries to rais them as good as possible. Atticus is very smart, he has very clever thoughts and points of views.
Jem
Jem, the brother to Scout, is the oldest child. You notice that, because I think he has an authority over his sister. Except that, Jem is very smart and brave. He always gets ideas of what he wants to play and things he, Scout and their friend Dill can do.
Scout
Scout is four years younger than her brother. She is a girl, but it took a while to get that, because she act more like a boy. Scout likes to play games outside with her brother and their friend Dill, instead of doing things that typical girls are supposed to do in the 30's. Scout is also the narrator of the book.
I think that, in the coming parts of the book, something will happen to Boo Radley. Boo Radley is a mysterious man in a mysterious house, and he has not been seen outside that place for a very long time. Scout and Jem were not even sure if he was alive. But in page 41, when Scout is rolling down the street inside a tyre, I think she changes her thoughts. By accident she rolls into the Radley's garden, and before she is running scared back to the street, she can hear that someone is laughing inside Radley's house. Nevertheless, I think it is obvious that Boo Radley will have a big part in the future parts of the book.
Another thing that I thought about, is on page 97- 98. Atticus and his brother Jack is talking about something serious that involved Atticus profession and a black man. "The only thing we've got is a black man's word against the Ewells'.
As Atticus works as a lawyer, my idea is that he has got involved in a crime that has something to do with a black man's struggle to defend himself.
Jem
