When I read about the main character wishing he was at school with his friend Dill, I couldn't help but remember when I was in first grade, back in the US in North Carolina. I remember how the teachers were, and that we were taught the same things he talked about, the Dewie Decimal system. I remember how friends acted different at school, just like Jem did with Jeane Louise.

This book is set in the Great Depression. The great depression was a de cade of high unemployment, poverty, low profits, deflation, plunging incomes, and lost opportunities for economic growth and personal advancement. As the word suggests, it set the whole country into depression due to a sudden loss of confidence in the economic future. The great depression epoch started when the wall street stock market crashed in 1929. This was caused by high consumer debt, ill-regulated markets that permitted malfeasance by banks and investors, cutbacks in foreign trade, lack of high-growth industries and growing wealth inequality.
