Boo Radley Monologue

Transition: Now, I would like to ask the same simple question again. What would you do, take the stairs or ride the elevator?

Did you ever think that Boo Radley would have been a good man in his life? Boo Radley was a  respectable guy like Atticus and other people in the town, but the things he has been through might have made him a little violent. Boo Radley is a sweet but sensitive man, he always wanted to see people very happy and cheerful, but since he never had that in his life he feels kind of left out from the group. Boo Radley will always a nice person, he had helped  a lot of people without them knowing like when he covered  Scout in a blanket during the fire at Mrs. Maudie’s house because she was feeling cold, Boo also placed objects in the tree, he didn't mean to hurt them but just to communicate with them.

In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, there are multiple examples of Boo Radley acting as a father figure to Jem and Scout. First, when Miss Maudie’s house is burning down and Jem and Scout are back inside after the scene, Scout, “looked down and found myself clutching a brown woolen blanket I was wearing around my shoulders… [Jem said] ‘You were so busy looking at the fire you didn’t know it when [Boo Radley] put the blanket around you’”(71-72). It was particularly cold outside, and the act of him going outside and giving his blanket to Scout is a very thoughtful, fatherly thing to do. Second, when Jem went back to the Radley’s house to retrieve his ripped pants he left there, “They were folded across the fence… They’d been sewn up” (58).

In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Boo Radley is known among the people of Maycomb as a violent, mysterious phantom of a man; someone who started a gang, someone who stabbed his own father, and someone who was rumoured to eat live animals. Every crime was his doing, and to make all of this even more ominous, he only comes out of his droopy, sick, house at night to peer into people’s windows. As the children have never seen him, he is not viewed as a human being, but as some sort of monster. The children’s fear is reasonable as he has only been described as villainous.

Being in a dysfunctional family shown when Mr. Radley shot a gun to scare away the trespassers, and Jem’s pants got stuck, but when Jem went back to get his pants they were found both mended and folded. Arthur Radley very much had a dysfunctional family, but in many ways Boo is misunderstood. A time in the book where Arthur Radley was misunderstood was when Miss Stephanie Crawford explained to Dill, Scout, and Jem something that Boo Radley apparently did to his father which made him misunderstood: “According to Miss Stephanie, Boo was sitting in the livingroom cutting some items from the Maycomb Tribune to paste in his scrapbook. His father entered the room.

Needing to see more of the house, I started descending the curved staircase. I stopped halfway down the staircase and savored the view. My eyes wandered around to the rooms that I would no longer use. Rooms that were once filled with people and belongings were now piled high with

The sirens get closer causing me to sprint into the dark and spooky undergrowth. I make it a good distance from the road before my feet trip over nothing and I faceplant to the ground.

In this novel the children grow up with the tells of Boo Radley. Since then they developed a relationship and learned important life lessons.

He’d stop you with a verbal beckoning, “Hey kid, get over here,” or he’d wag his big fat dirty finger in a come hither gesture.

I have read the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This book is about a girl named Scout and a boy named Jem. They learn a lesson during their various adventures in the town of Maycomb, Alabama. They learned to never judge someone until you have walked in their shoes. In this journal, I will be evaluating Scout walking in Boo Radley’s shoes and Scout walking is Jem’s shoes.

Miss Maudie and Atticus have shown Scout a whole new perspective in the world by changing her viewpoint on Boo Radley from a raw squirrel-eating ghoul to a kind person who is just misunderstood, this helps Scout be more considerate with the people around her.
