Boo Radley Analysis

The tale of Boo Radley was always the talk of the neighborhood and school all the time. Everyone believed he was a malignant and nothing good ever came from him. All the stories floating around about him were gossip and only brought more shame to that family and their name.One of those stories was that his diet was an aberration from every other regular person, he snacked on raw squirells and cats. Whenever Dill came to town in summer, him and Jem were so fascinated with that old Radley house and what it held but I just thought we should leave it alone. They always wanted to find some way to see if the supposable Boo was real and what he did in his free time since he never came out. A downside though was that Dill had a predilection to lie

and tell tall tales of everything, he was hard to take seriously.Until one day, they finally followed through with their plans and Jem touched the side of the Radley house making it seem like it was no big deal. This did not assuage my fear of that house and it still brought me uncomfort. Well Atticus did not approve of them always trying to be in the Radley’s business and seem to quell any ideas that came to his attention about them bothering the Radley’s. Mrs. Maudie was the voice of reason in all the madness, always trying to reason and defend Boo. Also she always seemed to be the arbitrator between me and Jem whenever we were arguing but at the end of the day it was just our brother, sister relationship.
Besides all the nonsense, school hadn't been to well either. My teacher, Miss Caroline seemed to have this predilection to not like me just from the first day. I was so good at reading and knew so much that she didn't think it was okay, she even asked me to tell whoever was teaching me to stop. To add on to what had gone wrong at school, Burris Ewell sure did leave one pretty bad impression on Miss Caroline. Somehow she become so impotent after the way he spoke to her, he left her crying and all her students tried to calm her down. The Ewells’ were the white trash of Maycomb, they were filthy and had one filthy mouth too. The whole town felt disapprobation for them because they were disgusting all around. I went home that night and told Atticus what Miss Caroline told me and he agreed to make a concession with me that he would continue reading with me if I kept it a secret from Miss Caroline. I begged him to let me quit school because it was not fair that the Ewell family got dispensation from school and all the rest of us had to go everyday. Of course he did not let me quit school but atleast I tried.
