In school, we have been reading Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird."I have read up to Chapter 15 and now we have been asked to do a map on...

I can't read through the novel again right now to find quotations for you, but I can give you these tips. I hope they're helpful. It sounds like a good assignment, but it's also a lot of work. Good luck!

1. Think of the Finch household as the center of the map.

2. Review the main characters in the novel and think about what you know about their relationship to the Finch household or to each other.

3. Hunt through the chapters in which these characters are first mentioned. If (and only if)you can't find quotations, give detailed summaries of what you remember from your reading.

Here's a start, drawing from the source listed below (note: these are not quotations from the novel:

"Maudie Atkinson is a strong, supportive woman who lives across the street from the Finches."

Mr. Avery is "a good-natured if somewhat coarse neighbor of the Finches."

"Calpurnia has a wider life outside the Finch household." (e.g. her black church)

Here are some other characters and details to consider, which can probably all be found in the trial scene: I seem to remember that the Ewells live near a dump and near a black settlement. Tom Robinson (who probably lives in that black settlement) has to walk past the Ewell household on his way to work the fields that belong to the local farmer Link Deas. Also, see if you can find out how far the Radley house is from the Finch house.
