For me, the two main story lines are the story of Boo Radley and the story of Tom Robinson. They live in a town that has " a rigid and time- honored code of society" ( Atticus's courtroom speech). This code prevents the townspeople from really seeing Tom Robinson and also Boo Radley. Atticus has always told Scout that " you never know a man unless you stand in his shoes and walk around in them." In " To Kill A Mockingbird" Scout and Jem learn to see both Tom Robinson and Boo Radley as " nice men", to see beyond society's definition of them. Unfortunately, the jurors could not get past their prejudices to see the true man that Tom Robinson was. So, Scout is our future, how we would like to be when we mature. The jurors still need to learn to see beyond their prejudices
The beginning of "To Kill a Mockingbird" sets up the town's atmosphere of prejudice and injustice through Scout's innocent perspective. By the end of the story, Scout's experiences with Tom Robinson's trial and Boo Radley's actions challenge her initial perceptions, leading her to mature and see the world with more compassion and understanding. Both the beginning and end illustrate themes of empathy, morality, and the complexities of human nature.
At the climax, the town newspaper editor, Mr. underwood writes an article about how the kiling of the Negro that Atticus is defending is no better than a child or hunter killing a mockingbird, because they both do nothing to hurt you in any way possible.
Scout was 6 years old at the beginning of To Kill a Mockingbird.

No, "To Kill a Mockingbird" is set in the fictional town of Maycomb, which is located in Alabama, not in the Midwest.
In "To Kill a Mockingbird," the mockingbird symbolizes innocence and goodness. Though there isn't a specific character named the mockingbird, it represents individuals like Tom Robinson and Boo Radley, who are unfairly judged and persecuted in the story.
Boo Radley does not directly face criticism in "To Kill a Mockingbird." He is more of a recluse and mysterious figure in the novel, with rumors and gossip circulating about him. However, as the story progresses, readers come to understand Boo in a more sympathetic light.
I would say Tom Robinson and Boo Radley.
a town in which this story took place
