The book’s first chapter is about Dryden meeting Rachel. She runs into him early in the morning and asks “Yes or no‚ she said‚ I can’t wait any longer”(Lee 6).

So far I have read chapters one‚ two‚ and three in “To Kill A Mockingbird.” They have been quite interesting‚ and a lot has happened in these chapters.
