NARRATION
By: Hannah
Point of view: First Person.
Narrator: Scout Finch.
Her Age: She is 13 in the first chapter looking back at when she was 6-9. The later chapters are her ages 6-9
Vocabulary: Her vocabulary is quite developed for her age and contains an adult vocabulary throughout.
Genres: Southern Gothic, bildungsroman, and coming-of-age-fiction.
Stylistic choices: In the beginning she uses many big descriptive words, and many similes/literary devices to describe her everyday life. It's intention is to explain the start of the story, and how her neighborhood functions. It's also to establish the characters, and it shows just how big of a vocabulary Scout has. She explains, "Ladies bathed before noon, after their three'o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frosting's of sweat and sweet talcum. This is to describe the women in Maycomb, and it also uses the literary device of a simile, and alliteration. This is to compare the women, but also show how a kid would describe things, although she is very smart for her age. It also shows that Maycomb doesn't really change, and contains seniors and old-folk.
Reliability: She can't be reliable as it's in her perspective and what she thinks about the situation, so some thoughts could be twisted and biased.
Views: Her views consist of seeing nothing wrong with the blacks, and she isn't racist, but says things out of curiosity or influence. Most of the narrators views are based on the people who surround her, and her parent, Atticus is the most influential.
Background: The author is similar to Scout in a way, and Scout only shows the life when she is 6-9, but has some background information including her mom dieing, and what the Finches where like. The authors mom also died.
Tone: Superstition is developed, as the tone is curious, but smart, since the main character seems to be very aware of her surroundings. Considering she was a kid, she also has an assuming tone. This superstition is throughout, because no one seems to discover much about the Radley house. Since she is a child her tone can also contain some oblivion to some situations. In her fathers court situation Jem is discussing rape, and he said to Scout, "Scout this is to old for you, ain't it"? (pg. 279). But she replies with "It most certainly is not, I know every word your saying", "pg. 279). Even though she said she knew what he mean't, she lied and actually didn't understand what he was talking about, and then said this to herself, "Perhaps I was too convincing, because Jem hushed and never discussed the subject again" (pg.279).
Mood: Fear and curiosity is created by the discussion of the Radley house, since it is a very mysterious place. Dill, Jem, and Scout also experience many adventurous so the mood is exhilarating most of the time. Later on at the court, the mood is very intense, but formal for there time. Blacks where on the top balcony, and whites where closest to the lawyer. Since the tone can be curious the whole mood can become curious/frustrated.
PART 2
Why would the author split the book in two?
Because, the beginning chapters seem to explain the background and establish many things. But in the beginning of Part 2 its tension increases and something changes in the story. The court changed something in the town and that might bring on something else that is related to the court incidence. Like Tom's and Bob's death.
