Young Love

Author's Note:
This is the passage that I remember when I think of To Kill a Mockingbird.

He had asked me earlier int he summer to marry him, then he promptly forgot about it. He staked me out, marked as his property and said I was the only girl he would ever love, then he neglected me. (pg. 41)

This passage is important to me because, I think, that it shows humor in a book that is mostly serious and mature.
