To Kill a Mockingbird is written in the first person, with Jean “Scout” Finch

Why is TKAM in first person?

A woman named Harper Lee wrote “To Kill A Mockingbird”, which about the life of two siblings, Jem and Scout Finch, and their experiences in the eventful Maycomb County. It is written in the perspective of Scout. It is important that it is written in first person narrative because it emphasizes on the characters.

What impact does the point of view have on To Kill a Mockingbird?

Seeing through Scout’s eyes adds a sense of innocence to the viewpoint. Children see the world very differently than adults. Having a child as the narrator changes the way we receive information about the other characters and how we, the reader, feel about them.
