Changing perceptions of Boo Radley.

In the beginning of the book Boo Radley is known as the creepy neighbor. He is just known for being locked up in his house and also all the rumors. Now that I've gotten farther into the story, Boo is seeming to be incredibly nice. Jem's pants got ripped and left at the Radley house. Also, Boo wrapped a blanket around the kids without them knowing when Miss Maudie's house was on fire. This is showing how he is really like because he is doing nice things for the kids when they least expect it.

Scout and Miss Maudie talked about Boo. Miss Maudie was telling Scout how he was not necessarily bad. This changed my perception of him because then i knew all the rumors were not true. Boo Radley is turning out to be not so bad.

Jill! I totally agree with you about Boo Radley starting to be nice. I believe in the end of the book everyone is going to find out how incredibly nice Boo is. I think everyone just assumes he is old and mean and doesn't really take the chance to get to know him.I really enjoyed reading your blog tonight!! love ya!!
