As soon as Sheriff Tate walked into my office I knew something was wrong. As we pulled into my own driveway I saw Calpurnia bounding towards the house. Of course it would be my children out of them all to spot the dumb dog, then freaking out Calpurnia in the process. As Heck and I reached the porch Jem opened up the screen door.
“Stay inside son.”
That boy always wanted to be a part of what was going on. He never could just wait off to the side and stay out of it.
“Where is he, Cal?”
“He oughta be here by now,” she said pointing down the street.
I looked down the street to see if anything was coming, nothing. Maybe he’s wandered away and we won’t have to do what I think is going to have to be done.
“He might follow the curve; hope he does or he’ll go straight in the Radley backyard. Let’s wait a minute.”

I put my foot on a chair and out wiped my hands on the side of my thigh. Then I saw him walking up the far end of the street.
“There he is,” I murmured.
He looks pretty bad. I can’t tell if he’s sick or just so crazy that he looks sick.
“He looks more sick than anything,” Scout said.
“He’s got it all right, Mr.Finch.”
He was inching towards us slowly. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the old dog, he probably didn’t want to be like this, crazy. What if he didn’t want to hurt anyone? Maybe he was just looking for somewhere to die.
Tim Johnson reached the Radley house and stopped.
“He’s within range, Heck. You better get him before he goes down the street.”
Heck needs to take the shot now; he won’t get another.
Tate handed the rifle to me then, “Take him, Mr. Finch.”
It had caught me off guard, I didn’t think Heck would even think to hand the gun to me. That was my past and this is the

It was a cold pretty windy night in Forest City. I was in 7th grade and I was staying at my best friend at the time Haley’s house. She also had Daelynn over but we won't really as good as friends. I remember the exact time when we thought of this amazing idea. It was 11:56 at night and daelynn has been smoking weed for awhile and she thought she needed some so she asked us. “Why don’t we call Jordan and ask him and Andrew if we could buy some weed from them.” Now at this point I was ready.

Suleman Lakhani To Kill a Mockingbird (chapters 1-6) To kill a mocking bird by Harper Lee published in 1960 by Harper Collins Publishers, explores the story through the eyes of Scout (Jean Louise Finch) herself. The story took place in Maycomb, Alabama around the 1930’s where people had nowhere to go, nothing to buy and a day seemed longer than twenty-four hours. The story revolved around the struggle of Scout, Jem and Dill to discover the fact behind Radley family’s weird behavior towards the society and being isolated. And also to disclose the mystery of The Radley’s as they were very curious about them.
To Kill a Mockingbird, the novel written by Harper Lee deals with problems in the town of Maycomb that need someone to help solve and work through. Although this man was not physically present in most of the story, Boo Radley helps the kids in different ways that prove he is a hero. In the novel, Boo Radley is heroic because he was always trying to keep the children innocent by shielding them away from more mature problems happening in town and he is protective of them and would help them if it was necessary in a more physical aspect.
To Kill a Mockingbird Question 1 Even though the first eleven chapters of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird may seem tedious and pointless to some, I find them to be charming and compelling because of the character development that happens during them. The subplot of Boo Radley especially helped to show the development of the characters. This subplot displayed the personalities of Jem, Scout, and Dill as it progressed. It also created many events which serve as reference points for the development of these characters throughout the book, such as when Jem is dared to touch Radley’s house and views that as true courage. “In all his life, Jem had never declined a dare.”
During the prejudiced and racially charged era of the 1930’s, attorney Atticus Finch from Maycomb, Alabama finds himself defending an innocent black man falsely charged with rape. Meanwhile, his son, Jem, and daughter, Scout, along with their friend, Dill, find themselves captivated by the rumors plaguing their neighbor, the mysterious and elusive Arthur “Boo” Radley.
