Boo Radley - Original Writing

For example, on page 304, Harper Lee states, “I think I’m beginning to understand why Boo Radley’s stayed shut up in the house all this time...it’s because he wants to stay inside.” In other words, Boo himself wants to keep away from the town and it’s issues. From this evidence, we can infer that because of the conflicts in the town, it has shaped Boo to be an isolated person, that keeps himself away from others. Another piece of evidence shown states, “The Radleys, welcome anywhere in town, kept to themselves, a predilection unforgivable in Maycomb” (Lee, 11). In the literal sense, the Radleys lived isolated and were seen as separate members of society. From this text, we can interpret how Boo and his family are seen in the town. Society and the conflicts happening in it has shaped the Radleys to be these mysterious people, separated from the rest of the town. To sum up, the evidence shows how, because of conflicts throughout the town, Boo Radley is influenced to become and isolated person, separate from

Boo Radley is a representation of the mockingbird because of his innocence and acts of kindness. While Miss Maudie's house was burning down, Boo Radley secretly wrapped a blanket around Scout. " 'Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn't know it when he put the blanket around you' " (Lee 60). Scout realizes that Boo Radley is a kind man who wants to protect and take care of her. The residents of Maycomb County know very little about him, but still spread rumors and view

The class was very chaotic with many unexpected events including Burris Ewell’s bugs and rude behavior, and Walter Cunningham’s absence of lunch and refusal of money. Miss Caroline did not know how to properly handle some situations because she was on edge nothing seemed to be going exactly going as planned. Not only was Scout able to step into Miss Caroline’s shoes, but later in the novel she got to see what it was like to walk around in Boo Radley’s shoes. At first Scout thinks of Arthur “Boo” Radley as a terrible, violent man who did not love or appreciate anyone. This impression of Boo was made up of almost entirely rumors. Some of these include When Boo stabbed his father’s leg with a pair of scissors at the age of 33, and how Boo would go out in the dead of night and peep into other people's windows. Other rumors comprised of people's azaleas froze when Boo breathed on them, and how the pecans that dropped from the Radley tree on to the school grounds would kill any person who touched it. Besides the rumors, there are some facts that support Scout’s perception of Arthur Radley. One of these is that Boo had gone unseen for a period of 15 years and had no other human interaction besides his

Set in the town of Maycomb County, this novel describes the journey of two young kids growing up in a small-minded town, learning about the importance of innocence and the judgement that occurs within. The individuals of Maycomb are very similar, with the exception of Arthur “Boo” Radley, the town’s recluse. Boo Radley has never been seen outside, and as a result of this, the children in the town are frightened of him and make up rumors about the monstrous things he allegedly does. This leaves the individuals in the town curious as to if Boo Radley really is a “malevolent phantom” like everyone assumes that he is or if he is just misunderstood and harmless. In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, Boo Radley is a saviour. This is

Boo Radley is a ‘malevolent phantom’ and a character that has been shaped by gossips and sustained by children’s imaginations. “Stephanie Crawford, a neighbourhood scold… said she woke up in the middle of the night and saw him looking straight through the window at her.” This dialogue is an example of the gossips and how the legend of Boo Radley developed, lies that persecute his innocence. Setting is used to develop Boo’s surroundings and to summon an eerie atmosphere giving Maycomb reason enough to reject and victimise him for being different. “…rain rotten shingles drooped… oak trees kept the sun away and the remains of a picket fence drunkenly guarded the front yard.” The Radley house has been established as a neglected, out of place and isolated home through Harper Lee’s use of connotative words. This evokes within the reader the same view of Boo as the rest of the town and allows us to understand where the misunderstanding comes from before we

Boo Radley’s struggle with society is caused by many different factors. In the novel, the reader learns that Boo gets in some trouble as a teen when he befriends the Cunningham gang. The members of the Cunningham gang are a bunch of troublemakers. Boo and other boys in the gang are arrested one night for “disturbing the peace, disorderly conduct, assault and battery, and using abusive and profane language

Everyone in Maycomb believes that the Radleys are dangerous and no one dares to really talk to them. They don’t follow the unwritten social rules that everyone else follows, and that is weird and mysterious to people. The community is mostly suspicious of Arthur Radley, also known as Boo Radley. People believe he is hostile because when he was a teen, he got in with the wrong crow and was arrested. Fifteen years later, he had another incident.

Scout like most young girls, is very observant about the world around her. Scout tends to show an observant side to her personality when people started to talk trash and spread rumors about Boo Radley. Being a young girl at that time she followed along with the rumors and stories she had heard. Scout, Jem, and Dill then decided to make a game out of the Radle’s ever so

Scout, Jem, and Dill work many summers to try to get Boo to come out of the Radley house for the first time in many years. Jem had been told many things about Boo in his short years in Maycomb, and he tells his sister Scout about the ‘monster’, saying, “Boo was 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” (chap. 1). Jem’s ideas about Boo are very biased toward rumors that can be heard around Maycomb. This shows how Maycomb’s people often judge before they know, seeing as no one has seen Boo Radley in over twenty years and people are prejudiced to believing the unknown is always bad. Prejudice and rumors can often not be trusted and Boo Radley is no exception. After Miss Maudie’s house catches fire and half the town rushes outside to watch it burn, Atticus tells Scout, “someday you should thank him for covering you up” then Scout asks, “Thank Who?” And gets a response from Atticus, “Boo Radley. You were too busy looking at the fire, you didn’t even notice when he put the blanket around you” (chap. 8). Boo Radley is not really a bad person, he

Jem, naturally, was Boo: he went under the frontsteps and shrieked and howled from time to time"(chapter 4). Eventually , Atticus catch them and order

So lies and accusations got more than one person killed in that town all because of rumors. One of the rumors that was spread around a small town was a rumor about a man named Boo Radley. The rumors went something like “Mrs. Radley came running out of her house screaming help Mr. Radley went in to see what was happening and Boo was sitting on the couch cutting paper and when his father walked over to him Boo cut him with scissors and then just kept on cutting”. That was just one rumor about him and the other ones don’t exactly make him sound so good either.

There was a shooting at the Radley place here in Maycomb this week. Three kids Scout and Jem Finch and Dill Harris have always been curious about the Radley House for many years because it has been the mystery of Maycomb. The children decided to go up to the house and take a peek in the window,thinking they will see Boo Radley. Dill Harris said he saw a shadow heading towards Jem Finch.
