Summary of Chapter 1
The chapter starts with an argument between Scout and Jem and ‘how it all started’. They then start talking about alot of things that start the argument. The chapter then develops into the background of the Finch family and how Atticus (their father) came to Maycomb county
As the chapter develops we find out about their home life and Scouts relationship with her brother. It describes the way they play and how they get along. Dill is introduced later on in the chapter and that is when they go onto explain the situation with Boo Radley. Dill dares Jem to try and get Boo to come out of the house. This is where the chapter ends.
