Chapter 1: Scout mentions Jem, her brother, breaking his arm and begins to talk about the events leading up to the accident. She talks about her current family, as well as her ancestors. She talks about the place she lives in, Maycomb. She also introduces Charles Baker Harris, who calls himself Dill. Scout also talks about Arther Radley, known to them as Boo Radley.

Chapter 2: Dill leaves for his hometown Meridian, as he only comes to Maycomb for the summer. Scout is preparing to go to school. When in school, Scout starts to get into trouble with her teacher, miss Caroline, who seems to be a new teacher there and does not understand some things about the students. She gets into trouble for a few reasons including defending Walter Cunningham.

Chapter 3: After the lesson, Scout is annoyed at Walter for getting her into trouble. Jem stops the conflict and invites Walter to have lunch with them at home. Atticus, who is Scout and Jem’s father, talks with Walter about farm conditions. When Walter puts molasses all over his food, Scout finds it bad and impolite, criticizing him. Calpurnia, the family’s maid and mother-figure to Jem and Scout, calls scout to the kitchen and tells her off for doing so, explaining that Walter is not as fortunate as them and is not used to eating like that. Scout also asks Atticus if she could no longer go to school. Her father tells her that the law says she must go to school.

Chapter 4: Scout is not enjoying school because she feels that she knows most of the stuff that is being taught to her. Scout finds two pieces of chewing gum hidden in a tree and decides to start chewing them. She tells Jem about this and he makes her spit it out. On the last day of school they both passed the same tree and found two pennies in the same spot, they decided to keep them. Dill returns to Maycomb and the trio start playing again. They then get the idea to start playing a game called “Boo Radley”. Eventually the game gets them acting out scenes of events in the radley family. Atticus confronts them about it, then Jem lies saying that their acting isn’t about the Radley family.
