The first four chapters described Boo as a crazy man who has no heart; however, in chapters 5-9 Harper Lee shows that Boo has a sensitive side. Boo shows that he's been paying attention to Jem and Scout's lives because when Jem lost his pants in the fence, Boo stiches the pants up but makes it look like a child did it. Even though Boo knows that the kids are making fun of him, he really doesn't care. He does everything that he can to keep the kids from getting into trouble so they don't have to go through the same pain and misery that he had to go through.
By Scout talking to Miss Maudie about Boo, I do believe that Boo is a good guy. Scout also learns that Mr. Radley stays inside the house so he can keep a good eye on Boo. Miss Maudie also says, "This is a sad house. I remember Arthur Radley when he was a boy. He always spoke nicely to me no matter what folks said he did. spoke nicely as he knew how." by hearing Miss Maudie say that Scout starts to understand that Boo is the way that he is now because of the way his father was when he was younger. So I do believe that Boo is a good guy, but is just confused because of the way that he was brought up.

i also agree that boo is a nice guy who watching scout and jem. i did not think of nathan radley staying inside the house to take care of boo but after reading your blog that does sound possible. i enjoyed reading your blog and thought that what you were saying does sound completly correct.
i agree with you that harper lee did a great job of showing that boo had a sensitive side. Also, i think that boo radley is a good guy too because what he has done for them is really nice. When he stiched up those pants and made them look like a child did it he really helped them out and made it so that they wouldnt get in trouble for lying and i think that his true character is a nice man who just wants some friends.
This paragraph was very well written. It answers the questions asked and gives detail into the characters life. I think that you have a very good perception of Boo Radley and i agree with you completely. I think he is a nice guy who just wants to make friends. Great job! Keep up the awesome work!
