First impressions of Boo (Arthur) Radley

My first impression of Boo Radley is that he is a very creepy and odd person. He is creepy to me because he stabbed his parents in the leg with a pair of scissors. "...Boo drove the scissors into his parent's leg, pulled them out, wiped them on his pants, and resumed his activities." (page 11) I don't think all the rumors about Boo Radley are true. For instance, when it says that the plants are frosted because Boo breathed on him, it completely shows exaggeration for effect in the story.

I believe I am most similar to Jem. Jem seems more mature to me and always seems to make wise decisions. Jem might not be the smartest person but he can use common sense in a great way. I relate to him the most because, for the most part, I make more mature decisions that others.

i really like your point of view on this. The way you describe Boo and stuff gives you and image of how creepy he really is. And if i had to pick one of the 3 for you i would defineatly pick jem for you. I think your right when it comes to him making good choices and how that resembles to you because it does, very well.
well good night, good job,
