To Kill A Mocking Bird Synopsis by Harper Lee

To Kill a Mockingbird is a 1961 novel by Harper Lee. Set in small-town Alabama,


the novel is a bildungsroman, or coming-of-age story, and chronicles the
childhood of Scout and Jem Finch as their father Atticus defends a Black man
falsely accused of rape. Scout and Jem are mocked by classmates for this.

In this story of innocence destroyed by evil, the 'mockingbird' comes to


represent the idea of innocence. Thus, to kill a mockingbird is to destroy
innocence." The longest quotation about the book's title appears in Chapter
10, when Scout explains: "'Remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.
