Need help finding quotes from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee that are examples of the literary tem "plot"?Chapters and page numbers would help.

Plot in a novel refers to the events that
make up the basic storyline.  Typically (though not always), a plot line is chronological and
moves through each of the following phases:


  1. Exposition:
    background information and conflict

  2. Rising
    Action: events which lead to the climax

  3. Climax: the highest point
    of action in the story

  4. Resolution: the solution to the problem or
    conflict

In a novel of this size, there can be several
conflicts, which create several plot lines.  In order to answer this question, you should choose
one conflict and identify a quote or two for each of the above phases of the plot line.  To help
get you started, here are some ideas for each:


  1. Exposition
    (chapter 1): any background information about the Finches, Maycomb, or the trial (which is one of
    the main conflicts).

  2. Rising Action: events building up to the
    trial--the mob scene in Chapter 15; details of the trial in Chapters
    16-20

  3. Climax: the verdict at the end of Chapter 21; another climax
    occurs at the end of the story with the attack on the children in Chapter 28 as a culmination to
    Bob Ewell's hatred of Atticus.

  4. Resolution: events following the
    trial--gifts of thanks to Atticus in Chapter 22 or the final scenes of the novel following the
    attack.
