Book Report To Kill A Mockingbird

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.'' This is the first step Jem and Scout take to understand Boo, as Jem realizes that, with all the hate going around in Maycomb, maybe Boo just wants to stay inside, away from society. From now on, the kids become less preoccupied with Boo as their, and the reader’s, perception of him changes. While Boo is still an other, he is no longer a monster and is now more of a mockingbird, an innocent neighbor trying to stay inside, away from the hate Jem and Scout are currently experiencing in

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

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and I am on page 36. This book is about the Finch family, which consists of the main character Scout, her older brother, Jem, and their father, Atticus. Every summer, their friend Dill visits Jem and Scout. The family’s cook, Calpurnia, spends time watching the children. The story takes place during the Great Depression, in a small town in Maycomb, Alabama. So far, the children are fascinated with their recluse neighbor, Boo Radley. They are trying to make him come out of his house. In this journal, I am predicting and evaluating.

Atticus Hill cherished and fostered his role as the bad boy in the family. He always dressed in all black, rode a Harley, and had long, shaggy black hair. But now that all his brothers had found their Mr. Right he thought maybe, at age thirty-nine, it was time to look around for a partner. He thought the drummer at the gay bar was sexy, so headed off there to check him out.

I am reading the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. In chapters 1-3, a girl nicknamed Scout introduces her home of Maycomb County, Alabama in which she has scary neighbors and a new friend that comes there. She goes to her first day of school and gets in trouble for an unknown reason to her. Then, the rude Ewell family is introduced and described, and Scout talks to her father about not going to school. In this journal, I will be predicting the kids will not meet Boo because he is locked up and they are scared of him.

The other two main characters in the story are, Jem, who is her older brother, and Dill, and Miss Rachel Haverford’s is his aunt.and a guy named boo is a bad guy that has a well respected family.and all of the kids were talk about boo.And the radleys that are a weird family that boo is a part of.the kids don't like the radleys so they dared jem to go hit the house and run back.

I predict that the kids will not meet Boo Radley. One reason they will not meet him is that he is locked up. He was locked away by his father, because of his troublesome gang. Boo’s gang locked a town member in the courthouse outhouse. For many, that was the last straw. They could not take anymore of the gang’s exasperating actions. The judge sentenced the gang to be sent to the state industrial school. Mr. Radley, a proud man, thought the sentence disgraceful. Instead, he decided to lock Boo inside the house as discipline. Also, the Radley family rarely goes out. Even before the incident, they rarely withdrew from their house. They kept their doors closed, all throughout the week. In Maycomb, having a closed door on Sunday is unheard of. The Radley family did not socialize either. Mr. Radley’s only response to the children’s morning greetings was a curt cough. The Radley house also had

I predict that the Jem, Scout, and Dill will never meet Mr. Boo Radley. I believe this because he has been locked up in his house for many years and has never came out. A lot of kids have theories about what happened to him. They believe that he was locked in the courthouse basement because

Chapters 2-4 (homework): This section of the book begins by Scout telling of Dill’s leaving is September, and the start of school. Scout develops a dislike for her teacher, Miss Caroline, when she tells her that Atticus can no longer teach her any further because he’s already caused enough “damage.” Jem tells Scout not to worry about it, though. Before the students are dismissed for lunch, Miss Caroline corners Walter Cunningham in an awkward position when she offers him money for his lunch.

I predict that the kids will not meet Boo Radley. I don’t think the kids will meet him because he is locked away and they are too scared. They might not meet him because he is locked away. The reason he is locked away is because he stabbed his dad with a scissors in the leg. Boo’s mom came out screaming that ,“Arthur was killing them all” (Lee 13). The sheriff heard what happened, so he had to lock him in the basement of the police station. He didn’t go to jail like normal because “the sheriff hadn’t the heart to put him in jail alongside Negroes” (Lee 14). After a while they had to just let him go to his dad because he would die from the mold on the walls. Last, the Radley family rarely left the house. They didn’t even go to church

I predict that the kids in the story will not meet Boo Radley. The first reason I think they will not meet him is because he might be locked up. I believe he might be locked up because the doors are always closed, especially on Sunday. You are supposed to keep the door open for fresh air and to seem friendlier. In the town if your doors are closed, that means there is illness in the town or its cold outside.

Although a character may hide in the shadows and pose as an enigma, they may very well play a crucial role in the development of a story. In Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, readers get a peek at what life is like in Maycomb County, Alabama and how Boo Radley, a being of mystery in the neighborhood impacts the plot greatly. Boo Radley is the protagonist in To Kill a Mockingbird because a majority of the storyline revolves around him and his appearance at the end of the story plays a pivotal role.

When predicting what will happen the reader can see that they will not meet Boo for two reasons. First, because he has been locked up and has not been seen for a really long time. He was locked in the court house for a while, but the his dad said that he would look after him. So his dad locked him in the house. The second reason The reader can see people do not like the family or the house they live in. The house looks run down and like nobody has lived there for a unquestionably long time. The family is the one family in all of Maycomb that does not attend church on Sundays of at all. Also the residents of Maycomb seem to not like the Radley family at all. When predicting the reader can see that in the end of the book that they will probably not see Boo Radley.

I predict that the kids in the book will not meet Boo Radley because they are always saying how mean he is to others. The kids in the book act like they are really scared of Boo Radley; they think he is going to kill them. They always run when they go by his house as they think he is going to run out of his house and chase after them. Boo Radley was locked up because when he was younger there were stories that he killed his dad and that he was in a gang with some mean, bad people. That is the story everyone said he did so that is the reason why Boo Radley got locked up.
