In the third chapter, Walter indirectly caused Scout to get in trouble, so Scout retaliates by beating him up. Thankfully, Jen forced Scout to stop, and he invited Walter over for dinner.

Arthur “Boo” Radley is a very unique and misunderstood character throughout the beginning of To Kill A Mockingbird novel by Harper Lee, as he is not stated quite often during chapters 1 to 9. Many people can sometimes be misunderstood in certain aspects, such as beliefs, thought, actions, etc., including me.

and racism in the south. Boo Radley remains an outsider who tries to stay away from the people of Maycomb. However, he stands for a powerful symbol of what means to be caring and innocence towards the harsh parts of the world, leaving little presents for Scout and Jem in the knothole and saving the children at a time where they could have died.
