Have you ever thought, why do I act the way I do? Well, you act the way you do because of morality. Everyone grows up in a unique way, your morality is based off your parents, where you grow up, and who you hang out with. We see this in Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird”. We see this book through the eyes of scout, a young girl growing up in Maycomb County, Alabama. The story's main character is Scout Finch, who is 6 years old when the story begins and 8 when it concludes. Her father, Atticus, is a lawyer. . Scout lives with her father and older brother, Jem. A young friend named Dill spends his summers next door and befriends Scout and Jem. The three discover fear in the creepy character of Boo Radley, a man who never leaves his home because he was crazy. The story's climax is a trial in which Atticus agrees to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accused of raping a white female teenager. Moral education in children decides their actions and it also decides children's futures.
