The Boo Radleys

Atticus tries to teach his children to be tolerate of all people no matter color or social class. The character Boo shows how people that are mentally ill are often outcast to society because people had no idea how to treat them, so like most people they fear what they do not understand. A difference in Intercultural communication occurs in the generation difference…

What is similar between these two legends? For instance, one is Japanese while the other is from the book, To Kill a Mockingbird. Even though it is surprising, there are actually many similarities between the two stories. The following sections of this essay will explain each urban legend and will lead to the conclusion of how similar they are. Kuchisake-Onna was Japanese woman who cheated on her husband, who was a samurai. After the man discovered her unfaithfulness he slit her mouth as he said…

Alabama there are numerous characters that show the important theme is courage. Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird demonstrates that while there is discrimination and prejudice in society, it lights a spark of courage that is seen in unlikely people. Boo Radley is discriminated by the Maycomb Society as a scary monster or phantom,…

a few reasons why Mr. Radley did not want Boo Radley to live in an asylum. Mr. Radley shows his repulsion for asylums when he states, “no Radley is going to any asylum,” when it was suggested that Boo Radley should spend a season in Tuscaloosa (Lee, 13). Unfortunately, the asylum that was meant to be helpful for Boo was filled with problems. In To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee mentions that there was a problem with asylums, which leads to Mr. Radley’s need to keep Boo Radley hidden in their…

the book scout starts to become very responsible because she us held with a huge task to hold a secret that could determine whether or not Boo Radley is going to jail. Scout goes through a series of events trying to find who she is and she is put through so much from having to be filled with lies to having to keep a secret that depends on whether or not Boo Radley is killed. In the beginning of To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout is best described as being gullible. In chapter 1, Scout is gullible in…

boy trying to protect his sister. In To Kill a Mockingbird, the theme of heroism is illustrated through Tom Robinson, Jem, and Boo Radley.

removes the plans of meeting Boo Radley from his agenda and takes up new responsibilities a boy his age usually would not have to deal with. When Jem gets over the idea of meeting Boo, he makes a joke while walking by his house when he says ‘Boo must not be home’ (Lee 342). This is when he completely leaves the world of a child because he leaves behind everything that he and Dill were working for. Jem grows up partially by forgetting the prejudice illustrated against Boo that the town of Maycomb…

By Harper Lee. For example when the boys didn’t even give Boo Radley a chance, or when the whole town turned against Atticus and his family. Another example is when Aunt Alexandra told Scout she couldn’t have Walter Cunningham over because he was poor white trash. The people of Maycomb have a thing for unfairly and unrightfully judging Atticus. There are any examples of people being prejudice. Throughout the town of Maycomb, Boo Radley is known as a “monster”…

As we know, Boo Radley killed Mr. Ewell by stabbing him. While I would not condemn Boo for doing this, seeing as Mr. Ewell had the intent to kill the children, I do not fully agree with the idea of lying to cover up what had happened. Lying, as we know, is wrong; however, I can see why Tate chose to do so to help Boo. I would have handled the situation differently by telling the truth, but justifying the decisions that were made.

not mean they have gotten more mature. Their maturity level can be seen in chapter 4 when, Scout, Jem and Dill are now playing the game Boo Radley. They are all one character from the legend of Boo. Now they are smart enough to play without getting caught from Atticus. The game was highly immature. The boys, and Scout, do not even know the real story behind Boo, which explains to Scout by Miss Maudie while the boys start to exclude her out more. Furthermore, towards the end of Chapter four,…
