As I was reading the first chapter, I am predicting the kids will not meet Boo. I think they will not meet Boo because he is locked up. The people in the town have never really seen Boo.

She is not used to the Maycomb ways and does not understand how someone could be so dirty. Not only did she want him to go home, she did not want the other kids getting his cooties and by the number he had they could have been spread very
