I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and I am on page 35. This book is about three kids who live in Maycomb, Alabama. They love to hang out everyday and play games. In the neighborhood, there is a house that everybody is afraid of, the Radley’s house. In this journal I will be predicting that the kids will never meet Boo Radley. The first reason that he will not meet Boo Radley is that he is locked up. One day while he was cutting up news paper, he stabbed his dad with a scissors in the leg. He was going to be sent to jail but the sheriff decided not to because he felt bad putting him with many colored people. He is currently locked up in the courthouse basement. The legend says that he died in the basement and they stuffed him

Entry 1: I feel as though the Lord only caters to white people. I’m really shaking and I just keep shaking but I am staying strong. There was an empty cell between me and all of the other prisoners. Ms. Emma came to see me but I was quiet and just starring at the ceiling. I didn’t care about anything, nothing mattered to me. I am going to die soon anyway so what’s the point. (“What it go’n feel like”(pg. 225).

Scout Finch and her brother Jem live with their widowed father Atticus in the town of Maycomb, Alabama. The book takes place in a society withstanding effects of the Great Depression. The two main characters, Scout and Jem, approach life with a childlike view engulfed in innocence. They befriend a young boy named Dill, and they all become intrigued with the spooky house they refer to as “The Radley Place”. The owner, Nathan Radley (referred to as Boo), has lived there for years without ever venturing outside its walls. The children laugh and imagine the reclusive life of Boo Radley, yet their father quickly puts a halt to their shenanigans, as they should not judge the man before they truly know him. Atticus unforgettably tells the children, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”

Boo Radley Journal

Even the name gives me a fright. In the book, To Kill a Mockingbird, there is a character that terrifies the kids in the neighborhood. I predict that the kids will never meet Boo Radley because he never comes out of his house. He is practically a prisoner to the walls of his house, and in my opinion, will never meet the children that torment him. He is locked up inside his house, and the doors are always locked on weekdays, and even Sundays. Boo has not been seen for fifteen years, and some people in the town think he is dead. This helps my theory of the children never meeting Boo, because if he has not been seen for so long, then why would he suddenly appear. Another reason that proves that Boo is always locked up is that Jem and Scout have never even seen Boo. For all they know, Boo Radley could just be a made up story by someone in the town. How can the children meet someone that may not even be real? They cannot. The last reason that backs up my theory is Boo once stabbed his father with a pair of scissors, and was locked in the courthouse basement as punishment. His father knew his son was not a criminal, so he insisted that his son was not charged with anything. Boo was eventually sent back to his house, or else he probably would have died from the mold. Boo is close to insane, and will most likely never meet the children, because he is almost always locked away somewhere. The kids in the neighborhood are all scared of Boo. There are many reasons why they

different backgrounds and their circumstances are unique in its own way. Lee hints that Boo is unsteady mentally, having been kept in isolation for so long and the community rumors spread about him was the basis of his discrimination. “According to Miss Stephanie Boo was sitting in the living room cutting some items… As Mr. Radley passed by, drove the scissors into his parent’s leg” (Lee 13). Due to the violent rumors, that are known to be false, the children in the town of Maycomb feared him and distanced themselves. As the story transgresses we begin to develop an attraction to Boo through his heroic and kind acts (saving the finches). However, Boo Radley never had a chance, he was looked down upon by his own kind. He may have been different

Representation Of Innocence In To Kill A Mockingbird

“‘Do you think they’re true, all those things they say about B—Mr. Arthur?’... ‘No, child,’ she said. ‘That is a sad house. I remember Arthur Radley when he was a boy. He always spoke nicely to me, no matter what folks said he did.’” (Lee 51). Scout asks Miss Maudie about what she hears out on the streets of her town, the rumors about Boo behaving insane because of a miniscule event that happened years ago, which partly places the blame on Boo’s father for acting as a religious fanatic. Boo Radley believed his father’s actions signified insanity; however, Boo tried to show Jem and Scout that he would not act as his father did by giving them small gifts, and even saving the children. “Boo left the safe environment of his home to risk his life for hers, and she knows that his essential goodness and vulnerability need protecting” (Felty 299). Boo intervenes when Bob Ewell tries to hurt Scout and ends up killing Mr Ewell in the midst of the struggle—though the accomplishment of coming out of the confines of his safe house and acting hero goes to Boo Radley. Scout finally realizes that the rumors about Boo prove the inaccuracy of the town’s perceptions, the Tom Robinson case and the mockingbird lesson

The education on racism is failing as issues of racism continue. Issues of racism are still ongoing today even though public awareness campaigns are abundant. The way we educate people about the negative effects of racism needs to change. Racism needs to go, it’s been centuries while coloured people have been on the receiving end of racism as seen in the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Racism needs to change for the better, as it has been around for centuries, and still is in some parts of this world like the southern states of America. Some people believe racism is no longer present, but this is not the case.
