Pleasure Reading: "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Summary 2

1. The three friends tried to get into the Radley house, but the sight of somebody in a hat approaching them scared the children. 2. When climbing the fence, Jem’s pants caught on a nail and were left here; however, when the boy returned for them, the clothes were hanging on the same place mended accurately, and that was one more mystery. 3. One more strange case happened later, after Scout was woken up at night to leave the house, as Miss Maudie’s one next to them was on fire. 4. The brother and sister stood aside, looking at the grown-ups putting the fire down and feeling cold, and didn’t notice when a woolen blanket was wrapped round them. 5. Yet, there was another problem for the children to handle, as their father was criticized by the majority for the defence of Tim Robinson, an Afro-American falsely charged with the rape of a white girl. 6. Jem and Scout found it difficult to be proud of their parent, who in addition didn’t possess the qualities of a good sportsman or hunter, so highly appreciated in their neighbourhood. 7. Nevertheless, when a mad dog dropped in their town, it was Atticus who shot it dead. 8. It appeared that the man had earlier been the best rifleman in Maycomb County and only concealed this fact from his children now.
