In my opion Boo Radley resembles the perfect mockingbird. I believe this because Boo throughout the book never does anything‚ but help Jem and Scout. Boo was always there to help and protect Jem and Scout. For example when Jem‚ Dill‚ and Scout were caught at the Radley place. Boo had sewed back together Jem’s pants and folded them for him to get. When Boo was a teenager he was the local trouble maker. He was always in trouble with the people in Maycomb or even with the law. When Boo was a little

make generalizations about a person”. Boo Radley‚ a character of To Kill A Mockingbird‚ often keeps to himself in his house. He is barely outside the house and the people of Maycomb County have the fallacy of him being a monster to scare the town. Jem describes Boo as‚ ”about six-and-a-half feet tall‚ judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch‚ that’s why his hands were bloodstained” (Lee 14). Not a lot of people have seen Boo or gotten to know him‚ so it is easy

symbolism with this bird is especially used when it comes to the misunderstood character Boo Radley. Boo is innocence in most likely its purest form in the novel. He never did anything truly wrong‚ unlike other characters like Bob Ewell. Boo didn’t do all the terrible things he was accused of‚ like eating animals‚ and yet he became a subject of torment from Maycomb’s children because of the past he had suffered. Boo is introduced early in the novel by Lee as being “...about six-and-a-half feet tall‚

I will be predicting whether or not Boo Radley will be seen in the book. I predict neither Jem or Scout will see Boo Radley in the flesh. First of all most people of Maycomb has not seen Boo Radley. It would be very unlikely for Scout or Jem to have seen him. In the book‚ on page 13‚ it states that “ Mr.Radley’s boy was not seen again for fifteen years”. This shows that Boo Radley has not been seen out of his house for 15 years. Another quote from the book on page 10 says “ People said he existed

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

I think I’m beginning to understand why Boo Radley’s stayed shut up in the house all this time. . . it’s because he wants to stay inside.” ( Lee 227) The lightbulb that goes off in Jem’s mind is his transition
