Periods 6 & 7, Post 5: Life in a Small Town

Hey, everyone!!

We've begun reading Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, and one of the first things we have noticed is how prominently Maycomb County figures into the life of the Finch family. Think about this particular setting, in a small, Southern town; what might be some of the benefits of small-town life? What might be some of the drawbacks?

Your comments will count as a homework assignment for the second marking period of the spring semester.
