To Kill a Mockingbird was written by Harper Lee and in the book there are four main characters which are: Scout which is 6, Atticus which is Scout and Jem’s father, Jem is 10 and is older than Scout and is the son of Atticus and Arthur Radley or Boo Radley which lives on the corner of the street that the Finch family live on. The first point I am going to address is justice and a great symbol for that is Atticus because he talks justice and sensible speaking.

Jem and Scout learned this lesson many times throughout the book. Some of the many ways were when atticus wouldn’t let them shoot their new bb guns, another was when Jem had to read to Mrs.Dubose even though he really didn't want to, and again when Jem didn't want Tom to go to jail but he had to.
