- RISING ACTION
- The Finch family lives in Maycomb, Alabama. Although it is the 1930s, a time of depression, the family is not struggling. Atticus, the father, is a prominent lawyer. The narrator explains that it is a time of racism and prejudice against black people.
- CLIMAX
- Guilty!
- A young black man (Tom Robinson) is accused of raping a white woman (Mayella Ewell), and Atticus is asked to defend him. This is not easy; Atticus must overcome the prejudice and preconceptions the people of Maycomb have against Tom Robinson.
- FALLING ACTION
- Atticus’ children, Scout and Jem, become a center of attention because their father is representing a black man. Throughout the trial, the children go through tribulations of their own as they learn valuable lessons about justice, commitment, and what is right.
- RESOLUTION
- Tom is found guilty, and Atticus’s innocent children cannot believe that the people they knew could send an innocent man to the electric chair, and neither can Atticus. He simply walks out of the court room after hearing the jury's statement.
- One man in particular, Bob Ewell, has made his disapproval of Atticus well known. During the move, he threatened both Atticus, and Tom’s wife, Helen. The children fear he will do something to hurt their father.
- In the end, Ewell goes after Scout and Jem, instead of Atticus. In the process, their reclusive, and mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley, comes to the children's rescue. He grabs Ewell's knife and kills him, even though Atticus believes that his son, Jem, killed him instead.
