Innocence to Experience, in Harper Lee's to Kill a Mockingbird

Lastly, Boo wants to secretly give Jem, Scout, and Dill some signs to show them that he is not afraid to communicate with them. He wants to show Scout, Jem and Dill that he is interested in learning more about them and the entire world. By doing this, Boo matures into a person who will begin to communicate and interact with the world.

Throughout this journal, one can predict the kids will not meet Boo because he is locked up and they are scared of him. There is a multitude of possibilities why the kids will not meet

When he shows that he isn 't a bad person, it shows how gossip has affected him so much that he needs to prove them wrong and show the good of his heart. Jem and Scout are fascinated and long to see Boo, but Scout is not sad when she sees that Boo isn 't freakishly large and bloody, but is glad to see a human, that might of just saved her and Jem 's life.

Scout and Jem have only heard rumors of Boo, prompting their curiosity to find out more, thus their actions lead to poking into Boo’s life on his property. Boo was falsely accused of being a monster, stabbing his father with scissors, all of which were gossip that spread like facts. The children and Maycomb itself blames Boo and secludes him based on rumors not experience. All in all Tom Robinson, Jem, and Boo displayed the victim archetype.

They base their fear on rumors. Boo Radley is an innocent person. We first know that Boo has been misjudged when he leaves the gifts for the children. “We went home. Next morning the twine was where we had left it. When it was still there on the third day, Jem pocketed it. From then on, we considered everything we found in the knot-hole our property.” (79). This shows that he is a nice person. Boo also saved Jem and Scout from the attack in the woods by Mr. Ewell by killing Bob Ewell. “‘ Why there he is, Mr. Tate, he can tell you his name.’” (362). “‘Hey, Boo,’ I said.” (362). This shows that he cares for the children and wants to protect

Radleys house. "Well go on," said Dill, Scout and me's right behind you" (lee 15). This obviously

Since Boo hadn’t left his house in many years, nobody knew what he looked like and if he was rich or poor, so many of the residents of Maycomb assumed the worst. They guessed that he lived in a messy, old house and was going to hurt or even kill anyone that got near where he lived. Some didn’t even think he was alive.

Boo Radley is the mysterious man in Maycomb County , and he is the killer in every scary kid’s story. Boo stays locked up in his house, and has not came out in thirty years. They say that Boo lives off of raw squirrels and cats that he catches., Aand that he has a big scar across his face, and yellow rotten teeth. Jem, Scout, and Dill spendt their summer trying to get Boo to come out of his house, but it never worksed. The children always wondered why Boo stayded inside his homeuse. Even though he never said why he stayed inside, the children finally understand after what they witness over the summer and school year. One reason why Boo stays inside because he is forced to. Another second reason is that Boo prefers to stay in his own environment,

Every kid in Maycomb county was scared of him, even walking past his house was a scary task for some. Boo is portrayed as the bad guy in the book, but I believe he was the total opposite. One day he randomly decided to stab his father while he was cutting out paper, and he thought nothing of it. In the book, it never really mentions what his motives for doing this were, which can show that Boo was misunderstood. Even though he did not care for his father he still cared for other people. He left several gifts like gum and soap dolls in a tree trunk, which Jem and Scout found and kept for themselves. He also wrapped a blanket around Jem and Scout when Miss Maudie’s house caught on fire. One of the kindest things he did in the book was when he saved his neighbors, Jem and Scout, from being killed by Bob

Boo wasn’t allowed to leave his house often, meaning he was at home locked up for days. At an early adult age, Boo had a outburst, while he was scrapbooking his dad walked past and he triggered a feeling resulting in him stabbing his dad. “‘[...] Boo drove scissors into his pant’s legs [...]” (Lee 13) As everything went by, Boo was calm during the whole commotion. Since no Radley will be sent to the asylum, Mr. Radley insisted by not charging Boo with anything. So they locked him up in the courthouse basement. Being left in the cold, moldy courthouse basement for awhile was definitely unhealthy mentally and physically. Soon upon that his dad took him back into his house. Many people would say “ [...] he was high-strung at times.” (14) Being locked up not only in his house but also in the towns courthouse basement probably affected him in some way. When he was spotted a few times around town as people would re-call he would’ve look

It can be interpreted that the writer wanted to show how as the children start to communicate with Boo and become more interested in him they start to realise that he too is just a human and they start to care for them after having some small

Boo had a million rumors spread about him that were never even true but he was so shy to show everyone the real him. So even though he was never seen he was always there keeping an eye out for Jem and Scout. Believe it or not Boo was actually a very caring and compassionate child but never had the nerve to express that part of him nor would anyone even get close to him. While Scout and Jem were walking home from Scout’s previous play at her school Jem thought he could hear someone following them, and he thought right. Mr. Bob Ewell the towns scum jumped out at Jem and Scout insanely drunk and nearly tried killing Jem he did brake jem’s arm and knock him unconscious but before he could do any more damage to Jem and any damage at all to Scout Boo Radley stepped in.

Scout and Jem end up understanding that Boo is not as bad as they thought, he is just like them, but he liked being alone in his

In the beginning of the book we are introduce to several young children. People could say these children are rather rambunctious and wild. Scout and Jem are brother and sister who live with their father. Not to far from the beginning we are introduced to a boy named Dill. Dill was a boy who came in the summer to live with his aunt. These children eventually hear a story about a boy named Arthur Radley. Arthur's nickname that every would call him is Boo Radley. Boo would would never come out of his house and that inspired Scout, Jem, and Dill to mock and make fun of him.

Many would assume that Boo keeps himself barricaded within the protective walls of his home due to his lack of innocence, but this isn't the case. Being that he has committed no major malfeasance, and that he has never intentionally harmed any living thing, you could say that Boo doesn’t have any sincere reason to feel culpability. So why is it that throughout the story Boo is presumed to be a blood thirsty ludicrous who peaks through windows and eats cats? Due to his truancy the populace believes that it is their right to discover why, whether this means spreading rumors about him or believing them. (For instance quote) But like a game of telephone, eventually things about every story were altered until Boo Radely was a metaphor of psychopath.
