Maycomb Radley Character Analysis
There are always going to be "others" in every society and community. In Maycomb, "the others" are the Radley's. The Radley's are extremely unusual people. They are also very disliked by lots of people in their community. People are scared of them too. The author says many things about what the Radley's are like for example: "They did not go to church, Maycomb's pricipal recreation, but worshipped at home... I never knew how old Mr. Radley made his living---Jem said he 'bought cotton,' a polite term for doing nothing... The shutters and doors of the Radley house were closed on Sundays, another alien thing to Maycomb's ways: closed doors meant illness and cold weather only." (Page 11). The Radley family are clearly "the others" in Maycomb. They
are different because they don't go to church (unlike everyone else in the town of Maycomb), people don't think he even work (which was not normal too), and the Radley house is always very misterious because they have an unusual, different routine for setting up their house compared to everyelse's routine. The reason the Radley's are so popular yet extremely unpopular is because they are unusual, weird, and different. I belong to the community of Massachusetts. "The others" in Massachusetts are Republicans. Since the majority of Massachusetts are Democrats, this makes "the others" the Republicans. Republicans have a different way of thinking than Democrats. The last time Massachusetts voted Republican was in the election of 1984. That is over 30 years ago. In the most recent election (the election of 2012), 61% of MA was Democrat and 38% of MA was Republican. One thing the whole community can do to understand people who are different than us is just accept people for who they are and how they think and how they live their lives. All you have to do, is respect everyone around you no matter how similar or different they are to you. In conclusion, there will always be abnormal people around you, but in order to make your community a better community, just accept the people for who they are. If you really don't like them, just ignore them and mind your own bussiness.
