I need the summary of To Kill a Mockingbird.

In To Kill A Mockingbird, Scout is
the narrator. She begins telling the story from her memory for she is grown
now.

Scout
opens the novel as a grown woman reflecting back on key events in her childhood. The
novel covers a two-year period, beginning when Scout is six and ending when she is
eight.

As a young child,
Scout could not understand why people were upset at her father Atticus for defending a
black man. Scout and her older brother Jem are enlightened about the small town of
Maycomb and its society values. Tom Robinson, a black man, is accused of a rape he did
not commit. Atticus does everything he can to prove that he is innocent. Twelve jurors
find him guilty in spite of the clear evidence that he is not guilty. Mayella is beaten
by a left-handed man, and Tom's left hand is crippled. Mr Ewell beat his own daughter
for talking to Tom. Then the Ewells claim that Tom raped Mayella
Ewell.

Also, in the beginning of the novel, Scout and Jem
encounter Boo Radley. He is mentally handicapped and kept away from society. Because of
a knothole in a tree, Boo begins a type of communication with Scout and Jem. He leaves
gifts or trinkets in the knothole for them. Just when Scout and Jem write a thank you
note, they notice that the knothole has been filled with cement. This is done by Mr.
Nathan Radley, Boo's brother. He is trying to keep Boo from communicating with Scout and
Jem.

Dill is a childhood playmate who comes every summer.
He, Jem and Scout pretend to be the Radleys in their playtime. They are fascinated with
the Radleys who rarely come out of their spooky
house:

With
summer's return, Dill arrives and the children's absorption with Boo Radley begins again
in earnest.

In the end of the
novel, Tom Robinson is shot while trying to escape the prison he is locked in. The
racist white town of Maycomb is a place where black people have no rights. Scout is
growing up in Maycomb, knowing that there is something wrong when a black man cannot get
a fair trial just because he is black.

Scout learns that
justice is not always served and that life is not fair. Scout is thankful for a father
like Atticus who does the right thing by defending Tom, even though it is not
popular.
