the items inside the knothole in the Radley’s place. This scene is very important to me because it shows us how Boo Radley really is. We see him as someone who is unliked from people. They make him seem as someone who is unknown and scary. In this chapter‚ they make us see another side of Boo Radley we never would have seen. It starts off with Jem and Scout getting gifts from an unknown person in a knothole that is in a tree near the Radley’s place. At the end‚ we infer that it was probably Boo Radley

The book’s first chapter is about Dryden meeting Rachel. She runs into him early in the morning and asks “Yes or no‚ she said‚ I can’t wait any longer”(Lee 6). From how Patrick Lee describes the scene you can clearly tell Rachel does not have a lot of time to waste. She needs to get going as fast as possible.

I rate this book a 2 out of 4 because I feel like the author could’ve extended the book in many different ways. One example is that the author didn’t explain and describe the actual two people who killed Mr. and Mrs. Lee‚ she just stated that they were thrown in jail. The length of this book was also a bit diminutive in my opinion. The idea of the book was wonderful which makes me feel that the climax could’ve been bigger and a bit longer which would’ve made it a better book. Another reason why this
