Atticus Finch Snow Day
To Kill A Mockingbird
In “To Kill A Mockingbird” the story takes place in the small town of Maycomb. Maycomb is a fictional place in Southern Alabama. It’s one of those towns where everybody knows everybody. The time period is around the 1930’s, during that time lives the Finch family. They go through several, weird, tragic events that lead up to the biggest event.

Now of days we are much more technologically advanced and have better rules and laws. The courtrooms are also much more trustworthy. Overall we are just a much different society in comparison to the 1930’s. With that being said, it makes me wonder, what will our future will be
