Boo Radley Narrator

Boo Radley is a representation of the mockingbird because of his innocence and acts of kindness. While Miss Maudie's house was burning down, Boo Radley secretly wrapped a blanket around Scout. " 'Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn't know it when he put the blanket around you' " (Lee 60). Scout realizes that Boo Radley is a kind man who wants to protect and take care of her. The residents of Maycomb County know very little about him, but still spread rumors and view

1.) Harper Lee constructs Boo Radley as a sort of phantom in the story. The readers have never seen him, but Jem described him as, "six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks;he dined on squirrels and any cats he could catch."   Scout could never confirm this as Boo rarely sets foot outside his rundown home. Harper Lee does this to shroud Boo Radley in creepiness and suspense.

Scout like most young girls, is very observant about the world around her. Scout tends to show an observant side to her personality when people started to talk trash and spread rumors about Boo Radley. Being a young girl at that time she followed along with the rumors and stories she had heard. Scout, Jem, and Dill then decided to make a game out of the Radle’s ever so

They are deemed strange by the community. This is because they don’t conform. They do not go to church. They do not socialize. Mrs. Radley never attends Missionary circle and the house is always closed on Sundays. This shows the intolerance in Maycomb of anyone who does not conform to their rules and standards of behavior. Boo Radley is treated with the most dislike as he has been to court when he was younger and was considered a troublemaker. Scout describes him at the beginning as: “a malevolent phantom.” The use of the word ‘malevolent’ stresses the way in which they consider him evil. These three examples of religious prejudice accent Lee’s perspective of life, as she knew it at the time.

As Scout and Jem walk home from the pageant they got attacked by Mr. Ewell. They screamed for help and the only person that heard them was Arthur (Boo) Radley. So he ran out to rescue their lives. This is the first time Mr.Radley left his house and the first time Scout saw him. To most people it was a mystery how Mr. Radley looked. When he was at Scout’s house he went to the farthest corner and the people there acted as if Mr. Radley was invisible.

How to Eradicate Ignorance Tanya Christie by Harper Lee ig·no·rance ˈiɡnərəns/ noun noun: ignorance 1. lack of knowledge or information. "he acted in ignorance of basic procedures" synonyms: incomprehension of, inexperience with, unawareness of, unconsciousness of, unfamiliarity with, lack of knowledge about, lack of information about (1) “… 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.” (Lee, 39) This quote is Atticus speaking to Scout about her day’s misfortunes. Scout is upset because her teacher, Miss Caroline, has requested Scout stop reading with Atticus.

Scout, Jem, and Dill work many summers to try to get Boo to come out of the Radley house for the first time in many years. Jem had been told many things about Boo in his short years in Maycomb, and he tells his sister Scout about the ‘monster’, saying, “Boo was 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—if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off. There was 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” (chap. 1). Jem’s ideas about Boo are very biased toward rumors that can be heard around Maycomb. This shows how Maycomb’s people often judge before they know, seeing as no one has seen Boo Radley in over twenty years and people are prejudiced to believing the unknown is always bad. Prejudice and rumors can often not be trusted and Boo Radley is no exception. After Miss Maudie’s house catches fire and half the town rushes outside to watch it burn, Atticus tells Scout, “someday you should thank him for covering you up” then Scout asks, “Thank Who?” And gets a response from Atticus, “Boo Radley. You were too busy looking at the fire, you didn’t even notice when he put the blanket around you” (chap. 8). Boo Radley is not really a bad person, he

The town 's prejudice against the Radleys makes them subject to gossip all because when Arthur (Boo) Radley was younger he was charged with “disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace, assault and battery,” (Lee 12) then locked up inside their house, “to give no further trouble”, by Mr. Radley. Scout, Jem, and Dill use Maycomb’s talk of Boo to fabricate their game of the Radley 's lives, “It was a melancholy little drama, woven

In this extract, Harper Lee uses multiple adjectives to create a negative and dark impression of the Radley Place. A specific adjective that shows this is ‘sharp’, sharp has connotations of violence and anger. Scout may have chosen this adjective as most of the rumours and myths about Boo Radley involve him being violent and a malice to society. Harper Lee also uses the simile ‘it drew him like the moon draws water’ to show Dill’s curiosity of the Radley Place. The moon, Boo Radley, is an enigma that Dill will never fully understand.

For example, on page 304, Harper Lee states, “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.” In other words, Boo himself wants to keep away from the town and it’s issues. From this evidence, we can infer that because of the conflicts in the town, it has shaped Boo to be an isolated person, that keeps himself away from others. Another piece of evidence shown states, “The Radleys, welcome anywhere in town, kept to themselves, a predilection unforgivable in Maycomb” (Lee, 11). In the literal sense, the Radleys lived isolated and were seen as separate members of society. From this text, we can interpret how Boo and his family are seen in the town. Society and the conflicts happening in it has shaped the Radleys to be these mysterious people, separated from the rest of the town. To sum up, the evidence shows how, because of conflicts throughout the town, Boo Radley is influenced to become and isolated person, separate from

Civilizations in the ancient world bloomed into various settlements and cultures that we see today. Theses communities all have their positives that was well suited for their time and/or location as well as their own downsides from things such as the need of food and water, war, and just blatant greed. Over the course time they would evolve from each other, making new ideas and bettering themselves from it. One of these civilizations that did this is Rome and thus, makes it one of the superior times in history because of how they allowed others influence them. The influences all derived from Greece that made it all the way down to Rome. Rome even made their own advancements that went further down to other communities later. In this paper, there

To Kill a Mockingbird is about a little girl named Jean Louise Finch, called Scout, and her brother, Jeremy Finch, called Jem. A few houses down from theirs is the Radley’s house. Throughout the story, they try to lure Arthur Radley, sometimes referred to as Boo Radley, out of the house; he’s always inside. Some people are puzzled as to why Boo Radley doesn’t prefer to come out of his house, and I have a theory. This world is a cruel place, but few people realize that.

Capital punishment has been around in the U.S. since the colonial times. This is a form of punishment given to a criminal who committed brutal crimes such as rape, murder, or torturing of others. Capital punishment first involved someone to be hanged, then in the 1950s to be killed by the electric chair, and now lethal injection is the only form of execution used by the government to get justice.

Set in the town of Maycomb County, this novel describes the journey of two young kids growing up in a small-minded town, learning about the importance of innocence and the judgement that occurs within. The individuals of Maycomb are very similar, with the exception of Arthur “Boo” Radley, the town’s recluse. Boo Radley has never been seen outside, and as a result of this, the children in the town are frightened of him and make up rumors about the monstrous things he allegedly does. This leaves the individuals in the town curious as to if Boo Radley really is a “malevolent phantom” like everyone assumes that he is or if he is just misunderstood and harmless. In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, Boo Radley is a saviour. This is
