To Kill A Mockingbird and Jean Louise
While staying at Aunt Rachael's house for the summer, I met an amazing girl! Her name in Jean Louise Finch, but everybody calls her "Scout." Momma, she's the greatest girl I've ever known, and therefore, I have decided to marry her.

Jean Louise is a very pretty girl. Her medium length, dark brown hair flows in the wind when she's running after her brother to beat him up or chasing him in a game. Her big brown eyes sparkle when she has a brilliant idea or when the sun hits them just right. She's only a year younger then me, which means she's seven years old. She barely looks like her brother… yet they look almost identical.

She has a boyishness about her… No momma, she's still girly and properly a lady, but she's unlike any girl I've ever met. She's not afraid of anything, and she likes to beat people up. She plays in the dirt with me and her brother, Jem. We play together outside all time, our favorite game to play is Boo Radly.

Scout likes to speak what she thinks. She gets in trouble a lot with what she says. Why does she? We should be allowed to say anything out loud. She got shushed when she was talking to her Aunt about her daddy's law job. And her braveness made all of the men go away when we went to go check on her daddy.

Anyway, momma, you need to meet Scout Finch. You'll just love her! You're going to have to love her, because we're going to get married as soon as we're big enough to, she's already said yes. I'm pretty sure her daddy's ok with the two of us

    Scout tried her best to show her courage. At times Scout did struggle with showing “too much” courage. Like when Scout’s first grade teacher asked Walter, a poor boy, if he needed money, and Scout tried to intervene, causing trouble for both her and Walter. Scout was also hesitant with some of her ideas. Including when Jem wanted her to play his game “Boo Radley”, and Scout eventually went with Jem for his game.…

    Nelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926 in Monroeville, a small Alabama town. Lee, a descendant of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, is the daughter of Amasa Coleman and Frances Fincher Lee. Lee was educated in the public schools of Monroeville, and was a childhood friend of Truman Capote, author of In Cold Blood, The Glass Harp, and Breakfast at Tiffany's. After high school, she attended Huntington College in Montgomery, Alabama from 1944 to 1945. Four years later, Lee went to the University of Alabama to study law. While there, Lee contributed to several campus publications. She left the university six months before completing her degree and struck out for New York and a literary career. During the 1950s Lee worked as a reservations clerk before she gave up the job to focus intensely on her writing. A literary agent who read her manuscript of three essays and two short stories encouraged her to expand one of the stories into a novel. This work became her first and last novel, To Kill a Mockingbird (1960). This work won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction as well as the Alabama Library Association Award and the Brotherhood Award of the National Conference of Christians and Jews. In 1962 she received the Bestsellers' paperback of the year award. Lee's novel remained on the bestseller list for over eighty weeks. To Kill a Mockingbird has been translated into ten languages and adapted for film by Horton Foote. The movie was released in 1962 and starred Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. Since the publication of To Kill a Mockingbird in 1960, Lee has contributed a few nonfiction…
