Chapter 1: Introduction to Maycomb

What i will be doing in my blog would be chapter naming. In chapter naming, i will need to name the chapter according to its content and also list 2 of the important events in the chapter.

In chapter 1, there are actually 3 important events but nevertheless, i will cover all of them:)

Maycomb is the town that the people in this novel are living in. In this chapter we will analyse the life in Maycomb county:

Quote:Ppl moved slowly...took their time about everything. A day was 24 hrs long but seemed longer. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy...nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County."

Expl: In my opinion, the lifestyle in Maycomb is boring and simple. The ppl moved arounf without hrry, as if they are living in a completely different time zone. This proves how sepy the town can be. Furthermore, "it is a very small, closely-knitted community", where everyone knew each other. This is because "there was nowhere to go", therefore the probably spend time social activities, which is later on shown the novel where aunt alexandra often has tea parties at her hse.

There is a particular family though, that doesn't really interact with anyone in the town. They are the Radleys. And this is one of the important points in this chapter.
