TKAM SA - BOO RADLEY Mr. Arthur “Boo” Radley‚ a neighbor to Jem and Scout‚ has never been viewed correctly by everyone.

Eddy‚ people still looked at the Radley Place‚ unwilling to discard their initial suspicions. A Negro would not pass the Radley Place at night he would cut across to the sidewalk opposite and whistle as he walked. The Maycomb school grounds adjoined the back of the Radley lot; from the Radley chickenyard tall pecan trees shook their fruit into the schoolyard‚ but the nuts lay untouched by the children: Radley pecans would kill you.

strange person named Boo Radley also lives in the town. Few people have ever seen him‚ but horrible miseries about him have widely spread. The children are curious about him.
