In the book To Kill a Mockingbird‚ there is a character named Boo Radley. The children believe Boo is an evil being who goes around the town at night making flowers die and slaughtering chickens‚ even though it was proven that it was not him.

Atticus‚ and Boo Radley showed courage the most. In To Kill A Mockingbird these three characters popped out to me for their courage. Scout tried her best to show her courage. At times Scout did struggle with showing “too much” courage. Like when Scout’s first grade teacher asked Walter‚ a poor boy‚ if he needed money‚ and Scout tried to intervene‚ causing trouble for both her and Walter. Scout was also hesitant with some of her ideas. Including when Jem wanted her to play his game “Boo Radley”‚ and Scout
