Each and every human being is unique. When we take a glance at the people we encounter in our daily lives, not a single one will be an exact replica of each other. Yet we are quick to judge people in the appearance or behavior without fully understanding them. This is one of our flaws that we must overcome by ourselves, which Scout and Jem learn throughout the book. The most simple example of this would be the case of Boo Radley, the mysterious man which catches the children’s attention. Jem and Scout let their imagination run wild over how he apparently was “six feet tall” and he “dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch” (Lee 1) making Boo a surrogate boogeyman to them.
