1 To Kill a Mockingbird Syllabus Journeys Unit, Fall 2014 "'First of all,' he said, 'If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view-' 'Sir?' '-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.'" Atticus, To Kill a Mockingbird, page 30 Throughout the next several weeks, we will be reading Harper Lee s To Kill a Mockingbird, a classic in American literature. The novel earned a Pulitzer Prize in 1960, and it has been said that this book is one, every adult should read before they die, second to the Bible. Set during the period of the Great Depression in Maycomb, Alabama, To Kill a Mockingbird is narrated by Scout Finch, a six-year old girl who beautifully captures such themes as tolerance and courage. Through Scout s eyes, we are able to experience the issues that plagued Maycomb, Alabama, including racial prejudice, social class, gender roles, and superstitious beliefs of the 1930 s. Therefore, to best understand and appreciate the novel, we will be interpreting the text in the context of the aforementioned concepts.
