Best Answer

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is separated into two parts to show a shift in the narrative focus and themes. Part One establishes the setting and characters, while Part Two delves into the trial and its aftermath, highlighting the injustices and prejudices present in the community. This division helps to create a more structured and nuanced exploration of the novel's central themes.

I really don't think anyone knows exept Harper Lee. Sorry I could not be of use and sorry I just made you frustrated. Mabey he did that so there would be more suspence for part two. The real Question is: Why are you wasting your time looking this up or reading that book anyways? Go and read Twilight like most of the world. :)

The first part is more on giving the basis the the rest of the story: The characters are more expounded upon, the personalities are given clearer definition, the background of Maycomb is explained, and in the first part, Scout has not been exposed to the "evils" that exist in the story, she's still really innocent.

In the second part, Scout becomes less innocent as she is exposed to the harsh reality of the discrimination among her community---which she once viewed as more or less an ideal small, peaceful town. The second part is largely on the Trial of Tom Robinson, which is a parallel to the Scottsboro Trials in real life (1930s) and is focused on the racism that emerged from it, that the jury turned a blind eye to the evidence and voted in favor of the Ewells.

In the second part, more of the evils are exposed in the story, as well as the good too, that of Atticus and Link Deas for example, and then they touched on Boo Radley, showing Scout's maturity at the end of the novel, her shedding of innocence as she understands Boo Radley's perspective.

The main thing on the separation of the parts is the Theme and the degree of Innocence in Scout.

It is in two parts because the fist part is the voice of the younger Scout and the second is a more mature authentic voice of an older Scout
