Boo's True Nature

Right from the beginning of the story, the children innocently try to find out the truth about Boo Radley, unaware that they’re bothering him. They soon learn Boo’s true nature, through his kind acts of giving them treats and toys, to providing them with a blanket during a house fire. Someone who gives to others and doesn’t expect anything back, like Boo Radley, shouldn’t be made fun of and treated rudely. They realise this and end their childish activities with Boo. Since he treats them with kindness without anything in return, Jem and Scout realise that they shouldn’t bother him as an act of respect. Even at the end of the story, Boo Radley does yet another kind act of saving the children from getting harmed by Bob Ewell. He risked his life to save the children when he could’ve stayed in his house like usual and kept quiet. Instead, he purposely came out of his house to deal with a problem that wasn’t his. Although he could’ve been praised from doing such a brave act, Atticus and Mr. Tate decide to keep it a secret, since Boo would not be comfortable with the attention. Scout also behaves kindly towards Boo, making sure he’s as comfortable as possible in this awkward situation.
However, unlike Boo, his kindness wasn’t paid back. It was obvious that Tom was guilty, but he was still punished for a crime he didn’t commit. Tom was a good father and husband, and he always tried to help others. He spent all that time helping Mayella and he gained nothing for it, but he did it anyways because he was a friendly man. However, he was associated with the wrong people at the wrong time, which cost him a lot of trouble. Being a kind person, it would be expected for him to be treated with respect, but instead he’s voted guilty by the people of Maycomb just because of his skin color. The fact that he later got killed even though he never done anything wrong, goes to show that it truly is a sin to hurt others who only help
