Chapter 1:
In the first chapter the author states many things that suggest that the Finch family is a family of education. One thing the author states is that instead of working on a cotton farms at Finch's landing Atticus Finch went to Montogomery, Alabama to read law. The book also says that Atticus's younger brother went to Boston to study medicine. These pieces of information suggest that in the Finch family education is important because both of the Finch brothers have good professions.
Julianne,
Great insight on the "education" of the Finch family. The author was subtle as he slipped the information into the reading. I am wondering what your thoughts are on whether education might be a continued theme throughout the novel.
Keep Reading!
