To Kill a Mockingbird How is Maycomb depicted? Do you think it’s a good or bad place for Scout and Jen to grow up? Why do you think so?

(Base your answer to Chapter 1-5)

In pondering your answer, you may want to consider: Scout’s (and Jem’s) experiences with the neighbors and their feelings about them; the children in Scout’s first grade class and the standing of their families in the community; the self-imposed isolation of the Radleys and the community’s reactions; and residents such as Miss Maudie and Miss Stephanie.
