My perception of Boo really changed after reading chapters 4-8. At first I thought that Boo Radley was crazy, and creepy but now it seems that he is acually pretty nice. Some occurences that show Boo Radley is acually a nice person were the tree occurences. Jem and Scout were always finding things of value to them like gum, an small sculptures of themselves and Boo Radley was most likley the one to put those items in the tree. I believe that these occurences give clues towards Boo Radley's real personality because in the first four chapters Boo Radley was appering as a pretty creepy guy but now in chapters 4-8 the author seems to be introducing Boo's true nature.
When Scout had the duscussion with Miss Maudie and she said, "Aurther Radley just stays in the house, thats all." I got the feeling that Boo is worried of being able to fit in with the rest of the town. Also I believe he stays in the house because he is scared of all the people who believe the rumors that were going around about him. I do also think that Boo might be a little bit crazy because when Atticus told Scout, Jem, and Dill to stop playing the game and leave Boo alone I think Atticus might be concerned about there saftey.

It sounds like me and you kind of think the same thing about Boo Radely. I also thought that he might be afraid of not fitting in with the rest of the town. I bet if he tried he could actually be friends with everyone. I hope eventually he comes out and plays with the kids.
I think that Boo Radley is still a crazy guy and that he is trying to reach out to the town through Jem and scout. As you said about Atticus I think he is scared for the children becuase he doesn't want them to become attached to Boo.
