Scout and Jem are talking on their way to the carnival at the high school, when suddenly Cecil Jacobs jumps out to scare them, and it works. They then carry on their way to the auditorium, and when they get their Jem gives Scout ten cents to go play carnival games until it’s time for her to get her costume on. She plays the games until it is time, and then dons her slightly

While walking home from school one day the children happen to find two pieces of gum hidden in the knot-hole of a tree on the Radley yard. These treasures, the children soon come to realize, can only be from the elusive man himself Boo Radley. Soon enough the children find even more gifts from Boo such as a small box with Indian-head coins, a ball of twine, a boy and girl carved soap figures, a whole pack of gum this time, a spelling medal, and their most cherished treasure, a pocket watch. This knot hole was the only connection between Boo and the children until the hole was clogged up by Boo’s brother Nathan, but because of that Hole Scout and Jem began to see Boo just a little differently from the way they saw him before. Something that also helped Scouts understanding of Boo began to change was during the fire of Miss maudie’s house. While Jem and Scout watched the events unfold from a safe distance a very unusual thing occurred. Scout while watching the fire did not seem to notice that a blanket that she had not come out with was wrapped around her shoulders. After her father Atticus pointed this out he also mentioned that this was the work of Boo Radley who, like the rest of the neighborhood came out to watch the

What makes a true American hero? A hero is someone admired for their achievements and qualities, or one who shows great courage. Heroes are looked up to by many for their selflessness or actions in situations. In Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Huck Finn is a true hero. His actions throughout the story help define him as such. Huckleberry Finn is a hero because he is clever, loyal, and moral.

In the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, there are two characters who “make music” for others. One of the characters, Arthur (Boo) Radley, is criticized by the whole town because he does not leave his house much. Everyone in town believes that Boo is a villain, when in reality, he is actually a hero. He acts kindly towards others by quietly looking after Scout and her brother throughout the entire book. For example, he gave Scout a blanket during Miss Maudie’s house fire, left gifts in a tree for Scout and Jem to receive, and saved them from Mr. Ewell during the attack. Boo’s choice of acting kindly results in him being criticized by the whole town because people choose to start rumours before actually getting to know him. Another character,Tom Robinson, is a twenty-five year old Negro who chooses to act kindly towards other people. For example, every day after work he would pass by the Ewell residence. Everyday, a Miss Mayella Ewell would ask Tom to do a chore for her, being the polite man he was, Tom kindly did the work without pay. One day, Miss Mayella took advantage of Tom and kissed him. Her father saw this and beat Mayella. When the sheriff came, Mr. Ewell accused Tom of raping Mayella and Tom was convicted and sentenced to prison. While in prison, Tom tried to escape, but was caught by guards

Being a hero is something most citizens dream of becoming, but most are not ready for the responsibility. In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch the father of the narrator shows true signs of being a hero. Atticus demonstrates three major points of potent qualities of being a hero. The first of these points being courage. By standing up to Bob Ewell, the main opponent of the novel Atticus shows the his courage to face great opponents. “It was Miss Stephanie’s pleasure to tell us: this morning Mr. Bob Ewell stopped Atticus on the post office corner, spat in his face, and told him he’d get him if it took the rest of his life. “I wish Bob Ewell wouldn’t chew tobacco,” was all Atticus ever talked about it,” (Lee, 247-248). Atticus clearly

The Mocking Bird itself is the most innocent bird of them all and it doesn't hurt anyone or anything, it just makes beautiful sounds for people to hear. I think that Tom Robinson was the mockingbird because he was innocent of raping Mayella Ewell. He didn't do anything wrong and he was also crippled. It is also something that Atticus doesn't want Jem and Scout to shoot. Tom even helped Mayella do her chores before he was falsely accused. He did it out of the goodness of his heart and the Ewells exploited that and he was shot to death in the end. If black people in general were accused of rape, even if they were innocent, they were killed and or lynched. Some might think that Boo Radley was the mockingbird because of his father non-stop abuse

Atticus Finch is a character in the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. He is a skilled lawyer, as well as the single father of the two children: Scout and Jem Finch. Atticus Finch is a character whose traits show that he is a man who is empathetic, believes in equal opportunity, and puts large amounts of effort into the things that he does.

And another of the most important stories that happened was that Scout, Jem and Dill were curious to know who was Boo Radley. When they started to get interested in knowing who or how it was Boo Radley was when they met Dill and why Dill told Jem to go to the window of the Radley family to see if there was Boo Radley and tell him how it was. Another of the things that happened when Dill left is that once Scout came back from school in the old hollow tree he got two pieces of unmasked chewing gum and Scout smelled them and saw that they were fresh and started to chew and After Jem returned from school he saw Scout chewing chewing gum and Jem asked him where he had taken the chewing gum and Scout told him of the hollow tree and after that Jem kept finding several things in the hole of the Old tree and the one that went and left those things in the tree was Boo

A story has the ability to be dangerous when the audience automatically accepts the author’s work as fact. Such automatic acceptance gives a dangerous amount of power to the author as it allows the author to alter the reader’s mind in whichever way desired. An example of a dangerous story found in To Kill a Mockingbird is the tale of Boo Radley. The tale of Boo Radley is dangerous, as its victims are typically young and more accepting of wild stories. Jem and Scout are exposed to the story at a very young age due to the constant talk of the townsfolk. Rumors spread quickly and talk about how he goes “out at night when the moon was down, and peered into windows”(Lee 10) or was to blame for “any stealthy small crimes committed in Maycomb”(Lee 10). When the stories of Boo

Wouldn’t the world would be much less accepting of others if we had slaves in modern day? Thomas Buxton, a politician and activist had fought the injustices of slavery across Britain and the rest of the world. His fight for social equality, use of unselfishness, and his persistent attitude to fight through failure gives Thomas Buxton the right to be considered a hero. Thomas Buxton is a hero due to his heroic fight for good. This man was able to lead a successful campaign to abolish slavery in Britain and its colonies (brycchancarey.com).

After she was done my head was reeling with millions of questions. Bob Ewell, that vile man, got what was coming to him. That monster was going to kill us if wasn't for Boo. How ironic Boo Radley the man we had been obsessed about for our entire summer ended up saving Scout and I. Suddenly I felt really bad about what I thought Arthur was. It turns out he was a human just like us and based on how Scout described him he wasn't a vampire or a monster either. I couldn't believe that I let rumors cloud my ideas of a man. At that moment all i wanted to do was to go and apologize to him and thank him for all that he did for us. I felt a pile of regret growing inside of me as I thought to all the jokes and stories we made up about him. After hearing that Boo wasn't going to face trial I had to give a sad smile. They were saving Arthur from all of the attention and the corrupted blind courts of this town. It would be like shootin a mockingbird Scout whispered to me as I thought about Arthur. And it's a sin to kill a mockingbird I said as I rustled Scouts hair with my good arm. Atticus walked in and smiled as I pulled Scout in for a hug. Scout was our little mockingbird and there was no way anyone was going to lay a finger on

of her father. Scout is able to make sense of Boo and Tom as she criticizes

-One day, Jem, Scout and Dill are playing with an old tire. Scout rolls in it and ends up in the front yard of the Radley place. Scout is terrified and the incident begins to ignite

“In the year of 1989, there was a street named Elm, in the state of Wyoming. Few chose to live on that street, and they all knew about the haunted house, up on the hill, on the west side of town, coming off of Elm. Once, I spent the week with some friends and, Halloween came upon us, while I stayed with them.” I was telling my first-grade brother and his friends stories to scare them out of their wits. Besides, no one wants little kids tagging along with you to go trick or treating, when you could go with your friends to Haunted Houses, and not ones set up by the town hall. “We were just about to pass the house, not thinking anything of it, when we heard a moan coming from Old Man Reaper’s house.” Their eyes grew wide with fear.
