Below, you may post descriptions of the main characters of the novel, for extra credit.

Atticus Finch: Scout and Jem's father, who taught them all they know. Also, he is an extremely good person that defends what he thinks is right in any circumnstances, like in the negro's case (Tom Robinson). He is a respected laywer and one of the descendents of the beginning of Maycomb County. Atticus is very wise in all and every time, starting by saying that is much harder to fight against your friends than against your enimies. Also, he is the best shooter in town, even though he never said anything about it to his children because he thinks it's not a great quality. During the book he practices many heroic acts.

Scout Finch: formally known as Jean Louise Finch, is the narrator. She Jem's young sister.

Jem Finch

Calpurnia: She is the employee of the family. She is black, but the family respects her and loves her very much. She is like a second mother for Jem and Scout, since their mother died when they were little. She educates both of them and she is one of the four negroes in town that knows how to read and write.

Tom Robinson: He is a black man that's being accused in trial by Mr. Ewell of raping is daughter, Mayella Ewell. He goes to the black's church and is married to a black woman called Helen.

Mayella Ewell: She is a nineteen year old girl who studied during two to three years in school and is the oldest child of the Ewell's house. Mayella is accusing Tom for raping her, but when it came to the trial she showed she was an "ignorant" and "confused" some facts. Also, she is probably beaten by her father and feels alone during many times, even though there are many children at home.

Mr. Ewell

Boo Radley: A mysterious neighbor that Scout, Jem and Dill insist to spy on. They try to sent him messages, and he sends them some items like a carved soap bar, a gum and others. Boo has a bad reputation in Maycomb, they say he stabbed his father with scissors and since them he has been locked up inside his house. SPOILER ALERT! In the end he ends up saving Scout´s and Jem´s life, killing Bob Ewel when he attacks the kids. According to Scout, he is the metaphorical mockingbird of the book, because he suffers from the bias of Maycomb county even though he did nothing but help the kids and sit quietly in his house.

Aunt Alexandra:
