Mockingbird. She created characters such as Atticus, who mostly speaks in a formal

the jury in the courtroom. Harper created a 6 year old narrator that uses many styles
of language as she speaks to her father (Atticus), her brother (Jem), her house maid
(Calpurnia or Cal), her fiance’ (Dill), and neighbors.
