Comment on point of view

The book is written in third person. The majority of the view is limited to the perspective of Jean Louise, meaning the reader knows only what Jean Louise knows. There are a few cases in which the view becomes briefly omniscient. For example, when Jean Louise leaves Uncle Jack's house, he uses the telephone to call Atticus. Jean Louise doesn't know about the phone call until later. The reader knows the call was made, but doesn't know who Uncle Jack called or the details of the call.
