changing perceptions of Boo Radley.

some of the things that happened in chapters 4-8 that changed how I thought of Boo Radley from my original opinions, were that when Jem left his pants at the Radley place, he went back to get them and they were "sowed up, not like a lady sewed ' em like somthin' I'd (Jem) try to do. All crocked." Which to me says that he is really a nice man (or boy). Although nobody has really see him, he seems really kind to me. And I think that the true Boo Radley is a man who wants to be known as a touch, scary, mean, creepy, mysterious person but on the inside is really caring and thoughtful. And not a bad person at all.

And I think that the discussion with Scout, and m.s Maudie was interesting because it really seemed like she cared for Boo, (Arthur) and it also seemed like she knew some things that maybe Scout, Jem, and Dill didn't know. And when the children were playing the "Boo Radley game" and Atticus found out about it. He wanted them to stop because he felt it rude to make fun of and mock m.r Boo Radley. I think Atticus is a good person who feels it is important to be respectful to people even if they are not respectful to others.
