How old do you think the narrator is when she tells us the story of To Kill a Mockingbird?List phrases from the chapter that helped you to arrive...

We know from the very first page of To Kill a
Mockingbird that the narrator tells her story from a retrospective view many
years in the future, since she mentions that she and her brother, Jem, were now "far too
old to settle an argument with a fist-fight." After several pages describing the town of
Maycomb and the history of the Finch family, the narrator reverts to a present day
perspective. She picks up the story when she is "almost six and Jem was nearly ten"
years old and Dill comes to visit them for the first time. We only find out late in the
first chapter that the narrator's nickname is Scout.
