Boo Radley seems positively tame after the events of the last year; Scout’s still worried about the blowback from the Robinson case, but Atticus thinks that time will bring forgetfulness.…
But through all this Boo Radley is a very kind hearted person. He isn’t the creepy guy everyone makes him out to be. He truly cares for the kids. He is just a tough person to get to know because he is so shy. Early in the book Scout asked Miss Maudie about him and she said he was always a perfect gentleman to her. Also he gave Scout the blanket when Miss Maudie’s house was on fire, when Scout was shivering in the cold night. He gave her the blanket without her realizing it. My third reason is, he did save both Jem and Scout from Bob Ewell by stabbing him. He also carried Jem to the house and stayed at the house until he knew that Jem was okay.…

I'm really happy Ashley didn't came along because it will make everything worse after that heated incident that happen bewteen those two. Moreover, Rhett is such a gentlemen and I love it how he played along after Scarlett told the Yankees that she's his sister. But also, it's so weird how Rhett have a lot of "sisters" O_O which made feel weird out and shows a bit more of his true color. Anyway, I really can't believe that he's so gullible, believing all the wonderful lies that Scarlett is telling him. However, I got so happy that he found out quickly and caught up…
It is a glimpse into how differently a father would raise his children if given a chance to do so without interference or boundaries. It reminds us that once parents learn to listen to each other instead of fighting with each other during divorce proceedings they will finally come around to doing what is best for their children. The movie introduces the viewers to the changing dynamic of the American family. Mothers are no longer stay at home moms who simply tend to children and cook meals. These days women like Miranda Hillard (Sally Field) are career driven heads of industries. It is also not uncommon these days to find a stay at home dad like Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams). The problem with this situation is that even though mothers bring home the bacon, they are still expected to come home and perform their wifely and motherly duties. Something that society has not once, throughout the history or marriages expected from the husband and father. Such a situation indeed takes its toll on any marriage and weakens the foundation of the…
