A picture of the small town Maycomb.
I chose this picture because it describes the setting in the book very clearly. The book says it's a very small town and everyone know's each other. This means that the houses must be very close together and that it must be parallel so that people can see each other. It also has a house which looks like Boo Radley's house. It is the house from the second last. it has steps that are crooked.
Code Red: Important Annoucement!!!!!
Hey guys and girl,
please guide Zhi Bing, he is not doing anything!
If it is difficult to explain to him, please change his role to something easier like the questioner.
So far I've seen the other groups they are progressing very fast, we have to catch up quickly because the dateline is drawing very close.
Thank You...
