From whose point of view is "To Kill a Mockingbird" told?

To Kill a Mockingbird is told in
first personfrom Scout Finch's point of view.  When chapter 1 opens the novel, Scout is
speaking from an adult perspective as she remembers back to past events from one
momentous year in her and Jem's childhood.  She provides us with a few details of
foreshadowing such as the fact that Jem broke his arm, but we don't learn much more
about the heart of the story at this point.  What is interesting about the narration of
this novel is that Scout is an adult telling the story as she remembers
understanding it from a child's perspective. As readers, we can hear both
voices in various places throughout the novel. This duality can be tricky.  The reader
is left, at times, wondering "Is that what Scout understood as a seven-year-old, or is
that what she understands now? Is there a blend between the youthful naivete of young
Scout with the adult she came to be because of the experiences she had that year?"  As
we read the novel we have to accept that Scout is very smart and insightful young lady
whose experiences through school, the trial, and the attack by Bob Ewell all shaped her
and left her with the story that shares.
