I am reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee and I am on page 323. This book is about people that live in Alabama during the Great Depression and also during the time of racial issues. Tom Robinson, a black man, is accused of raping a white woman. They go to court and Atticus, a white man, is helping Tom.

Boo is another character that Scout had tried to understand. Once Scout had walked in Boo’s shoes she realized that he actually is not as mean as everyone says he is. First of all, everyone says that Boo is creepy and mean but when Boo had wrapped the blanket around Scout that had made people think differently. Another thing that Scout had figured out is why Boo is always inside. Boo is always inside because he does not like the light, he is sick and Boo just does not like to come outside. Now that Scout has walked in these people’s shoes she understands them more and she understands the way they
