TKAM Setting


     The reason of why I chose this picture was because Maycomb is said to be farmland and not city wise. In the book on page 5 it says, "Maycom was a tired old town, but it was a tired old town when I first knew it. In rainy weather the streets turned into red slop; grass grew on sidewalks, the courthouse sagged in the square." For the part when the book says that the roads turn into "red slop" when it rains I think of a dirt road. In the picture there is a dirt road.

     In the book it said that Maycomb was mostly farmland. In the book on page 21 the book says, "As Maycomb county was farm country,..."  This sentence right here basically says that Maycomb was farmland. In the picture I have chosen, over the fence it looks like farmland because it was a vast and open space with what looks like wheat.

      In conclusion, these are my reasons on why this picture looks like the setting of To Kill A Mockingbird.
