My first impression of Boo Radley was not a very good one. Boo, in my eyes, seems to be very emotionally challenged. "As Mr. Radley passed by, Boo drove the scissors into his parent's leg, pulled them out, wiped them on his pants, and resumed his activities." Page 12. It seems like Boo does not know how to controll his emotions. I also think that Boo did not quite fit in with the people of Maycomb and that is why he decided to start and little gang so he could feel like he had friends.

I do not think the rumors are true about Boo. I think that the people of Maycomb make up rumors because they do not know anything about him or what he does so the people of Maycomb choose to believe what they want to believe. If I had to choose one of the characters who I am most similar to, it would be Scout because we both have a younger sibling. Also he lost his mom when he was seven and I lost my Uncle Bill when I was ten and me and my Uncle were pretty close.

Beck, I also think boo is weird. I like the quote that you choose. I actually want to read this book to see what you boo is acutally like. I think that he might be a nice person and is hiding it from everyone.
