Boo Radley's Diary

" 'Will you take me home?' He almost whispered it, in the voice of a child afraid of the dark", (Lee, 372). In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, it reveals that it is hard to become a strong and productive adult if one is neglected in their childhood, like the character, Boo Radley. It could be extremely difficult to become a strong, productive adult if one had an abusive or neglected childhood because they could still hold a pretty big grudge on whoever was abusing them in their childhood. They could also be still pretty depressed which could cause trouble if you want to be a strong and productive adult because I would still be petty sad if someone were to be abusive towards me in my

How do you us the word “conviction”? Do you use it to criminalize someone, or do you use it to show your faith in something? With a single word you can send out a message of guilt, or you can send out a message of sureness. Conviction is a symbol of courage, decision, and action.

This is my 739th day on the island. My hair is past my neck and I have almost lost all hope of ever leaving here. I miss my family and am loosing my emotions. All that matters is surviving. If we do ever get rescued which I doubt, I know I will never be anything like the boy I used to be. My only freedom here is talking to Piggy. Even if I didn’t know him before the crash, I know I have made a brother I would be the biggest train wreck ever if I lost him. About 20 days ago Jack left the group and everyday there are less and less boys. But I’ll always have Piggy. I’m glad Jack isn’t doing anything bad. Day 740. We are doing a pretty good job of keeping it civil. Jack invited us to a barbecue today. . . it would be nice to eat meat

As a young child hearing rumours and being told to stay away from there, kids develop ideas and thought on why the children can’t or shouldn’t be there. The boogie man will grab you if you are out alone, and kill you or the “monster” in the forest will haunt you down. Possibly, the house down the street is “haunted” or full of “crazy people.” Which leads into place of Boo Radleys reputation. The fear of Boo Radley is warranted. The fear of Boo is apparent when multiple fears of him, and his physiological problems in the first eight chapters in To Kill A Mockingbird of when the children could possibly be killed by him is mentioned multiple times during the book. Particularly when Jem and Dill are thinking

Scout introduces the setting by talking about her background and how she and her family ended up in Maycomb, Alabama. The way that she speaks also reveals a lot about the time period. For example, when she says “he was a year my senior” (pg. 9), we can tell that this book takes place in the past because we don’t say that anymore. Scout describes her father as a lawyer and that they found him satisfactory, which suggests that they get along just fine.

Dear Diary, I’ve had to leave my parents because of the war. On the way to safety our plane was shot down. We have landed on an island and have a small group of boys stranded here. Oh how rude of me?! I’m Noah just in case any nutter would find this out here in the middle of nowhere. In case you’d need a description of me I am about 4’8, have brown hair, green eyes, and weigh 93 lbs. When the plane was shot down I went unconscious, after a while I woke to the sound of a high pitched noise. That I later figured out was the conch that Ralph and Piggy have found. After our first meeting we explored some of the island, but I wasn’t allowed to go cause I’m just a littlun even though I’m 8 and a half years old! The older boys went out and caught a pig for us. Jack is the leader of the hunters I like him a lot. He is very deft. I think Ralph is batty to be our leader, but that’s just me. The plane that crashed on the island is known as the scar of the island, because before anyone had been here it had no damage done to it. We have taken a unwanted jeopardy by being stuck here. This is all I have to say for now. I just hope I’ll get back to mum and dad soon…

Isolation is to be unknown and alone from the others that’s around you. Having this trait enables you to carry huge weights of burden on your shoulders because of the helpless feeling that you receive. Isolation does not allow you to live out your life. Isolation traps you in instead. Boo Radley is a criminal that had to live years in isolation and rumors.

In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses Boo Radley as a symbol of the intolerant way the townspeople react to the unknown. Rumors are constantly spread by the citizens of Maycomb, saying how, in addition to his supposedly barbaric nature, Boo has violent tendencies and is quite hideous. Provided that nobody knows much about him, that makes it even easier to pass around these rumors. In the beginning of the book, Jem uses some of these rumors while describing Boo. Although he knows nothing about him, he gives him these horrid, animalistic qualities that are just a tad unrealistic. He says, “Boo … dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch ... There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow

Imagine being deserted on an unknown, unmapped island, surrounded by peers you ought to get to know. Well, that’s what happened to me, Eliza, and my classmates from London Intermediate Academy.

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
