To Kill A Mockingbird Family Tree Project

By Presley Esparza, Peyton Midgley, Kiara Kim

"The only difference between him and his father was their ages. Jem

said Mr. Nathan Radley “bought cotton,” too. Mr. Nathan would speak to us, however,

when we said good morning, and sometimes we saw him coming from town with a

magazine in his hand." (Lee 13).

"According to neighborhood legend, when the younger Radley boy was in his teens he became acquainted with some of the Cunninghams from Old Sarum, an enormous and confusing tribe domiciled in the northern part of the county, and they formed the nearest thing to a gang ever seen in Maycomb. They did little, but enough to be discussed by the town and publicly warned from three pulpits: they hung around the barbershop; they rode the bus to Abbottsville on Sundays and went to the picture show; they attended dances at the county’s riverside gambling hell, the Dew-Drop Inn & Fishing Camp; they experimented with stumphole whiskey. Nobody in Maycomb had nerve enough to tell Mr. Radley that his boy was in with the wrong crowd." (Lee 10).

"Calpurnia was something else again. She was all angles and bones; she was nearsighted; she squinted; her hand was wide as a bed slat and twice as hard. She was always ordering me out of the kitchen, asking me why I couldn’t behave as well as Jem when she knew he was older, and calling me home when I wasn’t ready to come. Our battles were epic and one-sided. Calpurnia always won, mainly because Atticus always took her side. She had been with us ever since Jem was born, and I had felt her

tyrannical presence as long as I could remember." (Lee 6).

"Their sister Alexandra was the Finch who remained at the

Landing: she married a taciturn man who spent most of his time lying in a hammock by

the river wondering if his trot-lines were full." (Lee 4-5).

"When 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. (Lee 1).

"“Scout yonder’s been

readin‘ ever since she was born, and she ain’t even started to school yet." (Lee 7)

"They did not go to church, Maycomb’s principal recreation, but worshiped at home; Mrs. Radley seldom if ever crossed the street for a mid-morning coffee break with her neighbors, and certainly never joined a missionary circle.

as anybody could remember." (Lee 10).

"Mr. Radley walked to town

at eleven-thirty every morning and came back promptly at twelve, sometimes carrying a brown paper bag that the neighborhood assumed contained the family groceries. I never knew how old Mr. Radley made his living—Jem said he “bought cotton,” a polite term for doing nothing—but Mr. Radley and his wife had lived there with their two sons as long as anybody could rememeber." (Lee 10).

"She was a Graham from

Montgomery; Atticus met her when he was first elected to the state legislature. He was

middle-aged then, she was fifteen years his junior. Jem was the product of their first

year of marriage; four years later I was born, and two years later our mother died from a

sudden heart attack." (Lee 6).

"During his first five years in Maycomb, Atticus practiced economy more than anything;

for several years thereafter he invested his earnings in his brother’s education."

"Atticus derived a reasonable income from the law. He liked Maycomb, he was Maycomb County born and bred; he knew his people, they knew him, and because of Simon Finch’s industry, Atticus was related by blood or marriage to nearly every family in the

town." (Lee 5).

"Uncle Jack Finch confined his passion for digging to his window boxes in Nashville and stayed rich. We saw Uncle Jack every Christmas, and every Christmas he yelled across the street for Miss Maudie to come marry him." (Lee 46).
