Boo Radley Setting

I am reading the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. In the first three chapters of the book we were introduced to many characters, we found out about the Radley house, and we learned about the Ewell family. In the second chapter, Dill had dared Jem to touch the Radley house, which Jem accepted because Jem never says no to a dare, and in the third chapter, we met Burris Ewell and Jem was told that she could not read any more by Miss Caroline. In this journal, I will be predicting the kids will not meet Boo because he is locked up and they are scared.

Chapter 5, of To Kill a Mockingbird started with Jem deciding it was better not to play the Radley game. Instead, he came up with a plan to make it seem they weren’t acting the Radleys and just name the characters something else. After that, Jem and Dill started to exclude Scout in any activities. Scout would instead go and talk to Miss Maudie about the Radleys. After a while, Scout went to join the boys and see what they were doing. Jem and Dill said she had to leave, but instead they let her in on their plan. Jem tried to get a note to Arthur Radley but had failed after getting caught by Atticus.

In the start of the Novel, Scout and Jem warn Dill of the said “monster”, Boo Radley. They describe him as a vermin eating, disturbance of a man, but as the novel progressed, they found out more about him. By the end of the book, Boo gave the kids gifts, and Scout reflected on this in a very empathetic way, “Boo was our neighbor. He gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. But neighbors give in return. We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad” (373). This shows that even after having a very set in place mindset, she is able to be mature and overcome this with empathy. She is showing how she is old enough to block out old beliefs and have an open

He, like Scout and Jem are enjoying the freedom of no school, using their imagination inventing, and playing games throughout the summer. Next door to Scout and Jem, lives a very curious individual whom they have never seen but heard rumors about. This individual has been kept isolated by his father because of some innocent pranks he was involved in over fifteen years ago. Arthur “Boo” Radley is a young man rumored to be root of all evil in the small town of Maycomb. Curiosity is a theme repeated throughout part one as the Scout, Jem, and Dill desire to know or learn more about life and Boo Radley.
