Monologue Boo Radley Perspective

“‘Scout, I’m tellin’ you for the last time, shut your trap or go home-- I declare to the Lord you’re gettin’ more like a girl every day!’” (69). As in every relationship, this quote shows Jem gets frustrated with Scout sometimes, and Scout too gets frustrated with Jem. “‘Okay,’ said Jem. ‘Why don’t you go home, Scout?’” (68). Also another common thing in any relationship, Jem needs time away from Scout, and Scout also needs time away from Jem. Tori and I get tired of each other and need time away from each other

Have you ever wondered how you got to where you are now and what the changing points in your life were? Well, in To Kill a Mockingbird, we see how Scout grows up and what her changing points were. We also see how Jem matures through Scout’s eyes. Through the duration of this novel, these kids go through something most kids never have to deal with. As the Great Depression is happening, the trial of Tom Robinson, and having been attacked by Bob Ewell, Scout and Jem have to mature and act more adult like to get through these points in their lives.

“As Atticus once advised me to do, I tried to climb into Jem’s skin and walk around in it”. Said Scout (Lee, 57). That’s good advice to give to a young girl that’s just getting to know what life is about. It says that Scout would never consider going over to the Radley house because she would be too scared, so she has no understanding of what Jem feels like. “If you’ll concede the necessity of going to school, we’ll go on reading every night just as we always have.” Said Atticus to Scout (Lee, 31). Atticus wants Scout to keep going to school, so she can get the education that he never got. Atticus didn’t go to school when he was younger. He wants Scout to have knowledge of what life is about at an early age so she can be a successful,

Before, Jem would always be Scout’s playmate but now he tells her to “stop pestering him” and that she should start “bein’ a girl and acting right”. Jem now likes to be kept alone and feels as if Scout is a lot more childish than he had realized.

Also as the lynch-mob arrives to murder Tom Robinson, Atticus refuses to compromise and stands his ground. This event shows Jem and Scout how brave their father is to have stood up for his client the way he does without means of violence and without using guns. up to this point The children believe that it is a man’s gun that makes him, they now see courage in a whole new light. Thanks to her father, Scout gained the courage to confront Mr. Cunningham the same evening and is successful in causing Mr. Cunningham to call off his Old Sarum mob. She talks to Mr. Cunningham on a personal level “Don't you remember me, Mr. Cunningham? I'm Jean Louise Finch. You brought us some hickory nuts one early morning, remember? We had a talk. I went and got my daddy to come out and thank you. I go to school with your boy. I go to school with Walter; he's a nice boy.”(chapter 15, Lee)

Scout in her childhood faces many adversities a child should not have faced. Her mother died when she was two and lived with only male influences, Jem, 10 and

Childhood years are a very impressionable time. This is no different for the fictional characters Scout and Jem Finch. Growing up in southern Alabama, they learned many lessons from the people around them and the circumstances they faced. Some of these important lessons learned are courage, empathy, and prejudice.

At the beginning Scout thought Boo Radley was a scary old man who is chained up in his basement and eat squirrels. They heard stories like he was cutting a newspaper and ended up stabbing his father in the leg. Since then their friend Dill has been working with them to retrieve Boo from his home. Jem and Scout have been getting gifts from Boo in an oak tree knothole and they think that’s his way of communicating with them. But when Mr. Radley filled the hole with cement the children experienced another time with Boo when Mrs. Maudie's house was on fire and out of the blue Scout had a blanket around her that wasn’t there. Towards the end of the chapter, Jem and Scout found themselves in a hassle after walking home from the pageant. Jem got broke

For Jem and Scout one of the major differences between their moral growth is the age

At the beginning of the story, Jem and Scout was young , childish and lacked the ability to see things from other's point of view. From the children's point-of-view, their most compelling neighbor is Boo Radley, a man that always stay in his house and none of them has ever seen. During the summer , they find Boo as a chracacter of their amusement. They sneak over to Boo house and get a peek at him. They also acting out an entire Radley family. "Jem parceled out our roles: I was Mrs. Radley, and all I had to do was come out andsweep the porch. Dill was old Mr. Radley: he walked up and down the sidewalk andcoughed when Jem spoke to him. Jem, naturally, was Boo: he went under the frontsteps and shrieked and howled from time to time"(chapter 4). Eventually , Atticus catch them and order

Tonight’s the night I die, it was a good five years for life but not it is about to come crashing down on me, I think as I lay in my spiderman bed in terror of what is behind my closet doors. The one door being slightly opened creates a window to a new scary world, the boogey world. Mama and Daddy tried to hide it from me but my older brother Tommy told me about the boogeyman that lives in the closest. I have no one else I can trust in the house, if Tommy didn’t tell me about the boogeyman then I would probably be it’s midnight snack. Now I can protect myself, I throw my blankets over my head and create a fort so me and my fellow soldiers can discuss our plan to survive. Mr. Cuddly had the idea to just hide under the blankets till morning,

4. Scout and Jem start to notice a pattern when they go to Mrs. Dubose’s house. She would talk to Jem about her favorite subjects, and about their father. Mrs. Dubose would open and close her mouth but wouldn’t reply to Jem. Jessie would make the kids leave when the alarm clock would go off.

Scout hung out with friends/people her own age. She mostly hangs out with people older than her. This is the first step of Scout becoming independent. She doesn't always need Jem around. Since she’s going to start hanging out with other people than her brother she will learn to protect herself and learn from life on her own. She will have more people she can rely on and come to when she needs help or feeling

I could not breathe, but thanks to Scout he kicked him and saved my life. Atticus yelled. “That’s it, we don’t kick people Scout!” Scout said, “Ain’t nobody gonna do Jem that way!” That is when I noticed that Scout was starting to become an adult. The men started telling Atticus that we need to leave but I refused. He asked me nicely but I said, “I ain’t going,” none of of his threats scared me. I will never leave, if I do then they will hurt both Tom and Atticus. I was a tough adult, I need to be brave and never give up. When I was staring at Atticus, Scout said, “Hey Mr. Cunningham.” I noticed that Mr Cunningham did not want to answer because he was already embarrassed. As I looked determined to never leave, I started to notice that the men were looking at Mr. Cunningham. I knew that Scout wanted to draw the attention off of us and put it on Mr.

This demonstrated the emotional journey that the kids are going through realising that they don’t have a mum and the fact Atticus feels a sense of despair and sorry as he listened to their conversation. In the end Scout has grown matured and has overcome the prejudice and has understood the neighbourhood gossip does not necessarily tell the truth judging by her self-experience.
