Boo Radley Character Traits

Just like people target the mockingbird, people would tend to target Boo Radley. Boo Radley was innocent of all the crimes people claim he committed, but he just desires to stay inside and keep to himself. While reading the novel, I believe he yearns to stay inside because he does not wish to face the false rumors that have been spread about him. One of the last ways Boo is symbolized by the mockingbird is Boo protects Scout and Jem from harm. The mockingbird also protects people, not in the obvious ways, but the mockingbird sings music to comfort people and cause them to feel safe.

In the small town of Maycomb County, everyone knows everyone -- or they think they do -- and rumors are spread quickly based on people’s corrupt image of a person. This is a common issue in To Kill a Mockingbird. Whispers are constantly rushing through the town about certain individuals who seem like bad or scary people when in reality they are kind people who are just trying to live their life. For example, Boo Radley is perceived as someone who eats squirrels and cats, yet near the end of the book, he risks his own life to save Scout and Jem. Many characters in the novel have outward appearances that do not reflect their personalities.

He did several things for Scout and Jem and never harmed anyone. He brought unknowing sourced joy to the children. No one can ever see Boo as a mockingbird because of the rumors attached to him. He can’t ever fly high since these rumors are heavy weights holding him back. Boo Radley is depicted as a monster, but he is just a giving man who likes to do good things in the shadows.

Changing people's perception of who you are can be challenging, especially when you are troubled and reclusive. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the image of Arthur “Boo” Radley’s character develops from that of a monster to that of a caring, sensitive and brave human being. At the beginning of the book, Arthur, who is nicknamed Boo, is seen as a scary, cruel man, who all the kids in Maycomb county are terrified of. However, throughout the book Jem, Scout and Dill start seeing him differently as a result of some generous gestures as he watches them grow up.

Boo Radley can be seen as a mockingbird because he helped Jem and Scout enjoy their lives by avoiding to get killed by Bob Ewell even tough when Boo stabbed Mr. Ewell it wasn’t completely innocent, but it was for the right

Boo Radley is locked up in his house as punishment. Boo Radley is the mockingbird who has been hurt through association with evil. Boo is so innocent that even Scout is able to make a connection with him and mockingbirds, as she states that hurting Boo Radley would be like "shootin’ a mockingbird." Boo Radley is good child who is damaged by his barbaric father. Despite his abuse Boo Radley is still good at heart, at the end of the book Boo Radley comes to the rescue and saves "his children".

Boo Radley faces prejudice because he is seen as antisocial, but Boo is actually a well, kind, giving man. “Well, it’d be sort of like shootin a mockingbird.”(Lee 370) Boo Radley is seen as a abnormal person, but when he saves the lives of Scout and Jem, he is viewed as a different person. Maycomb has misjudged Boo Radley, he was portrayed as an outcast, he was treated as a unusual being. Boo Radley got a second chance when he was saving Jem and Scout lives because Heck Tate changed his mind about Boo which is why Heck covered up for Boo Radley and Heck suggested to not have a trial about it, so Boo would not be overwhelmed and get unwanted attention.

Boocal Radpurnia: A Complexity Our world has many problems. Problems that can either be good or bad, and most of the time, easily fixed. However, there is one problem that will never be mended: the concept of misperception. This means that a person could act in a certain way, and that would be his/her permanent demeanor.

Boo (Arthur)Radley is an engrossing character in the book “To Kill a Mockingbird.” He displays several qualities which make him him an engrossing character. Boo Radley is very shy. This is evident when he went to visit jem and was hiding in the corner. Boo Radley is also very missunderstood.

Is Boo Radley Linked to Jeff the Killer? Though the two stories have major contrasts, the urban legends of Boo Radley. and Jeff the Killer, hold many resembling factors. Throughout the novel of To Kill A Mockingbird one of the main characters is Boo Radley , a creepy neighbor in Maybcomb County that most of the entire town fears.

Boo is a lonely and scary character who is very mysterious and we don’t actually meet him until the end of the book. Boo Radley is the subject of many rumors about him doing different things from being locked in a basement to stabbing his father in the leg with scissors, all of these rumors are unfair for Boo considering nobody has ever met him. My first piece of evidence to show Boo is a mockingbird is a quote, “every scratch of feet on gravel was Boo Radley seeking revenge, Boo Radleys insane fingers picking the wire to pieces.” This quote is very similar to what I said earlier in the paragraph which is that everyone views Boo as this scary menacing person when they have never seen him or talked to him. This is kind of like him dying as a mockingbird because he never has done something to purposely hurt someone and yet people are making all of these false assumptions about him.

People always get misjudged and want to say who or what a person is like before they even meet him or her. To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, has many examples of misjudging people, and some of those people could be better, or worse, than what that person judged. Most of these characters in the book do not have the sense to meet someone before they judge them. Even if a character knows a character, they still judge, and they judge wrong most of the time. People just don’t have enough sense, or manners, to not judge.

Boo Radley had been kept in isolation for so long, he didn’t know how to communicate or socialise properly. He has been misunderstood as a malevolent person, when he actually is a benevolent person. He displays this when he put a blanket around Scout, whilst she and Jem watched the fire. As readers, we are shown social prejudice by the assumptions made about the Radley’s. Another example of social prejudice is the

There are many characters in To Kill A Mockingbird that are seen differently from whom they truly are in reality, this is because in this era people look at black people differently and don’t treat them as equally than they would look at white man or woman during this time. Jem states "Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained If you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off. There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten his eyes popped out, and he drooled most of the time." ( 13) . Here Jem is explaining what he thinks boo radley looks like.

In To Kill A Mockingbird Boo Radley is a man who always stays shut up inside of his house which causes many rumors about him to be spread around the town. For instance, at the end of chapter 14 it’s stated “Dill?”/ “Mm?”/ “Why do you reckon Boo Radley’s never run off?”/ Dill sighed a long sigh and turned away from me./ “Maybe he doesn 't have anywhere to run off to…” This shows how Boo Radley is emotionally struggling because people always are assuming things about him that can cause him to feel uncomfortable around others. At the end of the book Boo Radley acts afraid of everything like when it says “Will You take me home?’ He almost whispered it, in the voice of a child afraid of the dark.”
