To Kill a Mockingbird: Section II - Zain Sherriff

I was very intrigued by the almost "supernatural" winter that hit Maycomb and the fire at Miss Maudie's house as the two events seemed to foreshadow both the tremendous change and division that was to follow during the trial of Tom Robinson.  During this same time period as well, Scout and Jem really begin to grow up and develop.  I think this section also focused more on the views of Atticus and his family over controversial issues such as race and how they were causing the beginning of a divide in Maycomb, shown in the interactions of Scout and Jem with people such as Mrs. Dubose and their relative, Francis.
