To Kill A Mockingbird Character Analysis Essay

             In the book To Kill A Mockingbird there are many different characters. And they are all very important. Since I had a lot of characters to choose from, it took a long time to decide who to write on. So after a lot of debating, I decided to write about Scout. She is my favorite character in the book.
