Coming of Age- To kill a Mockingbird.

I chose,"To kill a mockingbird", as my coming of age book.
In a small town called Maycomb, Alabama,  Scout Finch lives with her brother Jem and her widowed father Aticus. As one summer goes by, they meet a boy named Dill who later becomes interested with a house called the Radley Place, who is owned by Mr.Nathan Radley whose brother Arthur, lives inside of. Then one the last week of summer before Dill leaves, the three sneak into the Radley house where Mr.Radley shoots at them and scares them off. While being scared off, someone loses their pants and later finding them hanging on Mr.Radley's fence. What i think that may mean is that Mr.Radley does not want any trouble and he does not want to be bothered because of his brothers mental issues. Then in other news there was a big conflict in where a black man was accused of raping a white woman, and then Atticus agreed to defend the black man in the trial. Later the family is accepted over the community.
I look forward to reading more of this book, and finishing it.
