The narrative traces the Finch lineage from Simon Finch’s religious austerity, journeying to America, founding Finch’s Landing, and maintaining a cotton-based self-sufficient life. It transitions to Maycomb and Atticus Finch’s return to practice law, setting the social context, local networks, and early experiences with criminal defense that shape the family’s identity.","1960  \nTO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee Copyright (C) 1960 by Harper Lee Copyright (C) renewed 1988 by Harper Lee Published by arrangement with McIntosh and Otis, Inc.  \n● DEDICATION  \n● PART ONE  \n❍ Chapter 1  \n❍ Chapter 2  \n❍ Chapter 3  \n❍ Chapter 4  \n❍ Chapter 5  \n❍ Chapter 6  \n❍ Chapter 7  \n❍ Chapter 8  \n❍ Chapter 9  \n❍ Chapter 10  \n❍ Chapter 11  \n● PART TWO  \n❍  Chapter 12  \n❍ Chapter 13  \n❍ Chapter 14  \n❍ Chapter 15  \n❍ Chapter 16  \n❍ Chapter 17  \n❍ Chapter 18  \n❍ Chapter 19  \n❍ Chapter 20  \n❍ Chapter 21  \n❍ Chapter 22  \n❍ Chapter 23  \n❍ Chapter 24  \n❍ Chapter 25  \n❍ Chapter 26  \n❍ Chapter 27  \n❍ Chapter 28  \n❍ Chapter 29  \n❍ Chapter 30  \n❍ Chapter 31  \n● Scan & Proof Notes   \nContents-Prev / Next  \nDEDICATION  \nfor Mr. Lee and Alice in consideration of Love & Affection Lawyers, I suppose, were children once.  \nCharles Lamb  \nPART ONE  \nContents-Prev / Next  \nChapter 1  \nWhen he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. When it healed, and Jem’s fears of never being able to play football were assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury. His left arm was somewhat shorter than his right; when he stood or walked, the back of his hand was at right angles to his body, his thumb parallel to his thigh. He couldn’t have cared less, so long as he could pass and punt.  \nWhen enough years had gone by to enable us to look back on them, we sometimes discussed the events leading to his accident. I maintain that the Ewells started it all, but Jem, who was four years my senior, said it started long before that. He said it began the summer Dill came to us, when Dill first gave us the idea of making Boo Radley come out.  \nI said if he wanted to take a broad view of the thing, it really began with Andrew Jackson. If General Jackson hadn’t run the Creeks up the creek, Simon Finch would never have paddled up the Alabama, and where would we be if he hadn’t?  \nWe were far too old to settle an argument with a fist-fight, so we consulted Atticus. Our father said we were both right.  \nBeing Southerners, it was a source of shame to some members of the family that we had no recorded ancestors on either side of the Battle of Hastings. All we had was Simon Finch, a fur-trapping apothecary from Cornwall whose piety was exceeded only by his stinginess. In England, Simon was irritated by the persecution of those who called themselves Methodists at the hands of their more liberal brethren, and as Simon called himself a Methodist, he worked his way across the Atlantic to Philadelphia, thence to Jamaica, thence to Mobile, and up the Saint Stephens. Mindful of John Wesley’s strictures on the use of many words in buying and selling, Simon made a pile practicing medicine, but in this pursuit he was unhappy lest he be tempted into doing what he knew was not for the glory of God, as the putting on of gold and costly apparel. So Simon, having forgotten his teacher’s dictum on the possession of human chattels, bought three slaves and with their aid established a homestead on the banks of the Alabama River some forty miles above Saint Stephens. He returned to Saint Stephens only once, to find a wife, and with her established a line that ran high to daughters. Simon lived to an impressive age and died rich.  \nIt was customary for the men in the family to remain on Simon’s homestead, Finch’s Landing, and make their living from cotton. The place was self-sufficient:  \nmodest in comparison with the empires around it, the Landing nevertheless produced everything required to sustain life except ice, wheat flour, and articles of clothing, supplied by river-boats from Mobile.  \nSimon would have regarded with impotent fury the disturbance between the North and the South, as it left his descendants stripped of everything but their land, yet the tradition of living on the land remained unbroken until well into the twentieth century, when my father, Atticus Finch, went to Montgomery to read law, and his younger brother went to B","cbCaify4uloPe8QM","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaify4uloPe8QM","pdf",503115,5,1,285,"English","en",105,"# Dedication\n# Part One\n## Chapter 1","[{\"question\":\"What event opens Chapter 1 of Part One?\",\"answer\":\"Jem suffers a badly broken arm at the elbow when he is nearly thirteen, and his fears about playing football fade after healing.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the children discuss the cause of Jem’s accident?\",\"answer\":\"The narrator and Jem debate where the chain of events began, ultimately consulting Atticus instead of settling it by fighting.\"},{\"question\":\"What background does the chapter give about the Finch family?\",\"answer\":\"It recounts Simon Finch’s origins and migration, the founding and self-sufficient life at Finch’s Landing, and then Atticus Finch’s return to Maycomb to begin his legal practice.\"}]","To Kill a Mockingbird -
