Characters: Atticus Finch-Father of Jeremy Finch and Jean Louise Finch. His wife died so he was a single father. Jean Louise Finch- Atticus' daughter and is the narrarator of the story. She is refered to as "Scout" Jeremy Atticus Finch- Or Jem. Atticus's son."Scout's" older brother. Charles Baker Harris- Is Jem's and Scout's summer time friend. They call him "Dill" Calpurnia- The Finchs' Housekeeper and cook. She is very strict on the children. Miss Caroline- Scout's first grade teacher. She and Scout do not get along on the first day of school Radley's (including Rachel, Mr. Radley, & Arthur)- Neighbors to the Finch's who mostly kept to themselves, Arthur is the son, and there are rumors that he went crazy. Cunningham's- A family in the neighborhood that is very poor, but doesn't accept charity from anybody.

In Chapters one and two of //To Kill A MockingBird,// a lot of it is just the introduction of characters. It gives a background of not only the Finch family, but the families that live next to them. With these descriptions the reader can identify which social level the families were in. Chapter one concludes with Dill and Jem trying to come up with a plan on how to get "Boo" Radley out the house, to see what he looks like. Dill dares Jem to run up on to the porch and just touch the house; this of course is a huge and scary event, because they aren't sure what's going to happen or who's going to come out of the house. In chapter two it does start with Jean Louise's (Scout's) first day of first grade. Her teacher Miss Caroline pretty much looks down on her because she can read already. And when Scout tries to stick up for a poor "Cunningham" boy in class who doesn't have a lunch, Miss Caroline only scolds her.

 * SAHLI SAYS**

We talked as we read of the importance of names. What does Scout's explaination of the Cunninghams say about this importance in Maycomb? Why do you think that Dill is getting concerned about boo when the rest of the community is sort of content with letting him stay?
