I am reading the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The first chapter is about a group of kids that are trying to make a virtually unseen man named Boo Radley, come of his house. In this journal I will be predicting and characterizing.
I predict that the kids will not meet boo for many reasons. First, Boo is always locked up and is rarely seen. The Radley household is closed weekdays, as well as Sundays. Normal townsfolk would usually go to church, and after that, would talk and chat with each other. The Radley house does not do any of this. Another reason for my prediction is Boo once stabbed his father with a scissors while he was scrapbooking. What would be scarier than having a guy out and around the public after randomly stabbing his dad? His father probably would never let him go out after that.

A huge reason the kids probably wont meet Boo is that they are deathly afraid of him. Dill, one of the kids, is very fascinated by the household, but remains a safe distance away from the house. This makes it hard to meet Boo if they are too scared of getting close to where he lives. Boo is like the myth the town because the guy seems really scary to them. If a crime is committed in the town, Boo is usually first blamed, until the real culprit is found. One last reason that the kids are scared of Boo is that Jem tells them that he thinks Boo will murder them if they get to close to the house. Scout and Dill both are scared when he says this. When he says that, it only makes the possibility of making Boo come out even scarcer.
In this part of the journal I will be characterizing the Ewell family. An adjective to describe the Ewell family is lazy. Reasons for this description are that the Ewell boys have no
