Poem for To Kill A Mocking Bird

SCOUT
Intelligent, confident, caring, loving
Little sister of Jem
Lover of Atticus, Calpurnia, and Jem
Who feels outrage when her dad is maligned, Boo Radley is lonely, and Tom Robinson being treated unfairly
Who needs Atticus acceptance, Jem's loyalty, and Dill's admiration
Who gives the teacher problems because she is ahead in learning, Atticus a hand when a mob wants to kill Tom, Dill a place to stay in his runaway
Who fears Boo's dark house, owls in the night, and giving her open palms to
the teacher
Who would like to have justice in Maycomb
Resident of Maycomb, Alabama
Finch
