Summariser_Murshid_32 Entry 1

Chapter 1

In this chapter there is a girl who's name is Scout. She is 5 years old. She has a brother named Jem who is older than her. One summer, Jem had broken his arm. And he broke it badly in the elbow. He broke his arm when he was thirteen. Now, she is trying to explain the mystery of how he broke it. At first she starts introducing about some of the people in the neighbourhood. In this neighbourhood, everybody knows everybody. In Scout's family, she has a father named Atticus, Jem, and a cook, who is African American, named Calpurnia. But at the same time Jem broke his arm, that's when they met Dill. Maybe Dill had something to do with the mystery. For the whole summer, they wanted to get Boo Radley out of his house. There was a urban legend that the Radley house was haunted. Everybody knows the different stories that happened in that house. Dill was the most curious about Boo Radley and he was the one who was the most curious among the 3 of them.

Chapter 2

Scout always wanted to go to school. But she already knew how to read on her own. So on the first day of school, when Miss Caroline Fisher expected that no one would know how to read, she was surprised that Scout knew how to read. She tells her that her dad should stop teaching her because he doesn't know how. But Scout had learned reading by herself. Miss Caroline asked the students what they were doing for lunch. Went her classmate, Walter Cunningham, didn't have any money with him, she offered to lend him some. Walter wouldn't accept any of it because he couldn't pay it back. When Miss Caroline heard this, she was not pleased with the way Scout explained it and hit her on the hands.
