The Boo Radleys

trio venture out to a mysterious house in their neighbourhood, the Radley’s. Furthermore, there were numerous rumors about that home, but a fact was that the Radley’s never came out of their home except for Nathan Radley. The group was convinced that Arthur Radley, known as Boo Radley, is murderous, insane, or quite possibly dead. Frequently, Scout objects to going on Jem and Dill’s little journeys to the Radley’s, but still goes with them nonetheless. To Kill a Mockingbird revolves around the…

Scout is exposed to the comments and actions of prejudice by the townsfolk. Such examples are the description of Boo Radley , the town drunk Dolphous Raymond. As well as racism against Tom Robinson, and discrimination against the Finch children. One example of prejudice that is shown is the description of Boo Radley that Jem tells Scout and Dill.“Jem gave a reasonable description of Boo: Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall,judging from his tracks;he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he…

Scout had believed the legends that circulated the neighborhood. She would avoid Boo Radley’s house unless forced to by her brother and Dill because the legends caused her to fear the Radley house. Like a typical child, Scout believes these legends because she has not seen enough of the world to cause her to change her beliefs or loose her innocence. As the summer continues on, Dill comes…

In my opinion, failing to arrest Boo Radley was not a wrong decision by Sheriff Heck Tate or Atticus. All Boo did was do to Bob Ewell what he does to Tom and tries to do to Scout and Jem. When arguing with Atticus about who killed Bob Ewell, Heck Tate says, “Let the dead bury the dead” (Lee 369). I think he is trying to say that Bob should be dead because of his actions, and that Bob Ewell is just paying the price for being responsible for Tom’s death. Bob is getting the punishment that he…

Atticus Finch and Boo Radley. These two characters show tremendous courage throughout the story from saving the kids to defending Tom Robinson even though it puts their life and privacy at risk. The real courage here is putting the needs and wants of others in front of their own. A character whom the kids have named Boo does not sound like someone who people would call courageous but his heroic actions are shown repeatedly throughout the story. The first time we really see courage from Boo is…

Mockingbird, Boo Radley is presented to the readers as a troubled man, feared by the entire County of Maycomb. During Boo’s younger years he became acquainted with the Cunninghams from Old Sarum, and formed the closest thing to a gang that Maycomb County had ever seen. When they were caught and put to court, Boo's father continued to insist that “[. . .] no Radley was going to any asylum, [. . .] Boo wasn’t crazy, he was high-strung at times.” (Lee 12). Boo’s father was very intent on keeping…

The summer after my Boo Radley sighting, Jem still wouldn’t forgive me. He reckons since he is older than me he has some sort of right where he should’ve seen Boo first. I’ve tried my hardest to explain to him that it’s not my fault he was unconscious but he is just thick headed. Atticus says that this is just another one of Jem’s phases and he’ll get along with me again someday. Dill and his parents decided that he can come Maycomb every summer. The day he arrived this summer, right away he…

prejudice and discrimination in the 1930’s. Arthur Radley or Boo Radley as some of the kids might call him, was portrayed in the novel as a very mysterious and creepy person. No one in Maycomb County really understood him and wondered why he would be locked away from the social world. Until one night when Mr.Bob Ewell drunkenly tried to kill Scout and Jem, a mysterious person rushes in to save them. It was later in the novel when it was revealed that Boo Radley was the one who saved them. But…

Arthur 'Boo' Radley. One piece of evidence in support of this theory is the simple fact that Boo has hardly ever been seen outside of his home. The Radley family has always been a reclusive family on the whole, even before Boo’s incident. None of the family attended church, a noted oddity in a small, Southern town like Maycomb. They also kept their house tightly shuttered and the doors locked fast. Mr. and Mrs. Radley are almost as rare a sight about the town of Maycomb as their son; Mr. Radley,…

supporting why Dill, Scout, and Jem will not see Boo Radley. To begin, Boo is most likely not even alive. For example, Boo Radley has not been seen in a very long time. The text states, “People said he existed, but Jem and I had never seen him” (Lee 10). The fact that Jem and Scout live near the Radley house yet had never seen Boo outside or even in the window suggests that he is not alive. Nobody in the entire town has said to have recently seen Boo, even though he was seen all the time in the…
