I don't think that the kids won't meet Boo. Boo used to be in a gang when he was young. Him and his gang friends would just do annoying things. When a kid was running past the Radley's house he saw Boo stabbed his father in the leg. The kid called the police and the police wanted to lock him up. But Mr.Radley said I will just lock him up in my house. Mr Radley is the only one that comes out side the rest of them never come outside. Mrs Radley goes on her porch to water her plants and thats it. The kids are scared of him because they say at night when everyone is sleeping he peeks through people window. One girl says she woke up at saw him standing there. But when she got up, but when she looked out the window he was gone. The kids say he is

  • Maturation of Jem and Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee

    They have never actually seen or talked to him, and yet they are still children and believe most of the things they hear. The stories about Boo eating cats and squirrels are enough to scare them out of their shoes. The children love to play the game they made called “Boo Radley” which always ends with someone getting “stabbed” in the leg, just as Boo Radley stabbed his father’s leg. In part two, on the other hand, Jem and Scout stop playing their game and stop telling the stories because it no longer entertains or scares them. If they had not matured, these games and stories would still frighten them.

  • Boo Radley A Figurative Mockingbird

    232 Words  | 1 Pages

    Another example of a figurative mockingbird in the story is Boo radley. Boo Radley was always the one lurking in the shadow, people thought of him as a bad person because of the rumors of him “stabbing” his dad and never coming out of the house after that. People thought he was crazy and dangerous, and every kid who passed by the Radley house would run in fear. They people of Maycomb even nicknamed him “boo” because they looked at him as a ghost, but in reality his name is Arthur and he the main sign of innocence in the book. Arthur never came out until the end of the book but he always found a way to show people he was there. He would leave Jem and scout presents under their special tree like string, dolls, gum, and things they enjoy.

  • Why Should We Not Meet Boo Radley

    824 Words  | 2 Pages

    I predict that the kids will not meet Boo Radley. In the story, Boo is locked away and never to be seen. Boo does not come out of the house at all. The Radley house is a dark and gloomy place. The doors are always shut and the shutters are only open on Sundays. The Radley house has no screen doors. Jem assumes that the reason the community never sees Boo Radley is because his father keeps him chained up in a room, so he doesn’t go outside. Another reason the kids will not meet Boo is because everyone is scared of Boo Radley. The primary reason that the community is scared of Boo is because he once stabbed his father in the leg with a pair of scissors and was not fazed by what he had just done. The people in the community refer to Boo Radley

    1379 Words  | 3 Pages

    Boo Radley, also known as Arthur Radley, is the scary, evil creature that lives in the creepy old house down the street from Jem and Scout, and is misjudged at first. Jem and Scout, two main characters, first see Boo as some sort of scary monster. Jem described him in the first chapter as “...six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks...” and said “...he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained- if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off...” Jem also mentioned Boo had a “...long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time.” Scout and Jem also call Boo a “...malevolent phantom...” As if that isn't bad enough, the kids hear and tell horrible stories about Boo. One is of how he stabbed his dad with a pair of scissors; another tells how he was locked up in the courthouse basement. Even with such a grisly initial perception at the beginning of...

    Razack does a tremendous job in this script of painting a picture of a concept that brings the reader directly into the project and how she wants it to be visualized. Included in her action descriptions are the camera angles that bring this war to life, along with the hectic situations that the characters get involved. As a result, the character and dialogue come together to combine cultural dialogue with fiery, charismatic Irish characters one would envision in a storyline of this magnitude. Niall’s ascension from son to man of the house to the in the wake of his father’s death, shows the audience what an oppressed Catholic man in these times of war looked. Where his mother used to have authority over him, when he asked her to be silent during
