    Boo Radley Journal

    As I am reading the first few chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird I predict the children will not meet Boo Radley. One reason I think the kids will not meet Boo is he is locked up in his home away from the living world. First off, the kids never see Boo but have heard many stories about him and his wicked ways. Jem believes he is chained to the bed laying there because his father does not want him to be seen. Boo is a legendary name in the small town of Maycomb but no one knows what has really…

    Boo Radley Changes In To Kill A Mockingbird

    Boo Radley is one of the most important characters in the story. “Hey Boo,” (Lee, 362). This is the first chapter where you actually meet Boo. He is standing in the corner of Jem’s room when Jem broke his elbow. Everybody thinks Boo is this really scary person. They call him Boo because he’s like a ghost. His real name is Arthur Radley. Jem described him as, “about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained—if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off. There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time." (Lee,chapter1) This shows what Scout and Jem thought of him. It was a not very good assumption. He turns out to be not so creepy in the way he looks and turned out to be a very nice person which scout didn’t really expect. They realized their perceptions was wrong because he gave them food, fixed Jem’s pants, and gave them dolls over time.She came to expect it as she matured and got…

    Boo Radley Hero

    Many assert that Atticus Finch is the hero in the novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” by, “Harper Lee,” but I respectfully disagree with that and believe the true hero is Boo Radley. Throughout the book, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Boo Radley was secretive and reticent, although, he had multiple encounters of being heroic. Boo Radley additionally, is somebody portrayed as a mad man. Scout, Jem, and Dill was told that Boo (allegedly), defiantly stuck scissors into the leg of his repressive father. When the children heard about that, they reluctantly tried to find out more information about Boo. By the end of the novel, “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Boo is distinguished more as a hero to the children, rather than a shadow of a dreadful person. I conceive…

    What is courage? According to dictionary.com, courage is the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to face difficulty, danger, pain etc., without fear; bravery.

    Why Do Children Meet Boo?

    I predict the kids will not meet Boo because I think people are lying when they say he comes out at night. Boo is locked up all day, but apparently people have seen him come outside at night, that is another reason why I think the kids will not meet Boo as well. Boo is/ might still be a part of a gang. Boo is also locked up because he was a part of a gang, and because he had other bad ideas that he did. Boo never really did anything bad in the gang, the worst they did was drink whisky and run around at night and cause a little bit of trouble. Boo stabbed his dad in the leg with a scissors. His dad said that he will be locked up forever in their own makeshift prison that they keep Boo in for stabbing his dad. Boo’s dad didn’t send him into court because he was afraid they would send him into the insanity place. Boo’s house is an old house that everyone’s afraid of. The kids in this city won’t dare touch step foot on their…
