To Kill a Mocking Bird – Episode 35
To Kill a Mockingbird is the 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by the American author Harper Lee. It was published in 1960.
Told by the six-year-old Jean Louise Finch, known as Scout, the story takes place during three years (1933–35) of the Great Depression in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama, the seat of Maycomb County. Nicknamed Scout, she lives with her older brother Jeremy, nicknamed Jem, and their widowed father Atticus, a middle-aged lawyer.  It is the story of Scout, her brother, Jem, and their small town.  The story revolves largely around Addicus’ defense of Tom Robins, an African-American, for the alleged rape of Mayella Ewell.  But the story is also full of small-town stories and wonderful characters.

This month’s book is To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This was one of the books chosen by our Facebook page. I think I have no idea I’m not allowed on it.
Jason
Yes, it was a top vote that remain for our Facebook groups polls for what books we should do. And that so it the topwas a topic. So we did. But before we jump into all that, you have a very important announcement.
Alora
I am being published again.
Jason
Yay. Tell us about it.
Alora
So I entered a writing competition through young writers, USA, it was a 100 word, short story. That was the limits. And the theme was trapped. And my story was chosen to be published.
Jason
Nice. And you didn’t tell us that you’re putting in for this? No, I didn’t. You just decided to surprise us.
Alora
Yes. And then I forgot about it. And my mom opened the letter and called me up and I completely forgot. And she used my name. And so I thought I was in trouble. And then she handed me the paper.
Jason
So I don’t even know. Okay, I was at work when this happened. You didn’t tell me this. I’m hearing this for the first time. So she opened your mail. Was it addressed to you or addressed to the parents?
Alora
I think it was addressed to me.
Jason
That’s a felony. We want us to take this part out. Oh, no. Anyway, so yeah. So she found out people you didn’t get a chance to tell her? Yes, she. So what inspired you to write the story?
Alora
I just saw it and I kind of had nothing else to do because it was in the midst of quarantines.
