Over the book, Scout seems to fear Boo Radley for being so silhouetted and mysterious throughout her life. Jem and Dill seem to be a bit fearful of him too, but they are also very curious. Jem shows his curiosity with Dill by attempting to leave a note an the Radley house's window. They are stopped by Atticus who makes them think of Boo Radley differently. They see him as just a man who chooses to be isolated from Maycomb. Their fathers words convinced them to think of Boo Radley in that way and I don't think they fear him as much anymore.
It seems their perseption of boo radley evolves throughout the chapters first its curiosity then they mock the gossip story of boo radley and then it seems to go back to cuorisity.
how long must this be? should we write it here or in our english notebooks?
in the begining of the book, what facenates the children so much is the mysteriousness of this figure that strides to be unatached to the comunity of macomb, thus only making him more interesting. but in there search to uncover who he is the children start geting coments from the older folk and realise that as mysterious as he is, boo radly is still human. there etemts change from origanaly trying tofind him into trying to comunicat with him.
Rodrigo,
Look at the comments of your classmates on the blog. Jake's is a good example of how long this should be.

scout, and jem start out being afraid of boo radley because of the stories and because he is mysterious. when they get older and meet dill they start to get curious about him and wonder. nearing the end of their curiosities they leave him alone after the failed attempt to contact him. i think that when they started to play the game with them as boo they started to think he was more of a person to make fun of, but when they were sneaking around and almost got caught i think they were a little scared of him. most people would be if they were sneaking around a creepy mans and when they tried to escape they heard a shot gun.
I think that Jem's, Scout's and Dill's view on Boo Radley changes because of the games that they play. The drama games which include acting out Boo's life. The games start to develop into a form of inner gossip, where changes in the story start to change real points of view. Another side effect of these games is the imprinting of stories into people's minds. For example, the rumor that Boo eats dead animals could be turned into a game, making it seem more real.
Scout, Jem and Dill started getting curious about Boo Radley and what he is really like, so thats why they wrote the letter to him. Atticus just stopped them and told them that it was his own choice if he wanted to stay in his own house forever. I think they were just curious about how Boo really is because all they have heard is the goosip that they hear daily.
After the conversation that Scout has with Miss Maudie she thinks of "Boo" Radley more as a human.She also learns that his real name is Arthur and that he isn't dead or shoved down a chimeney. Scout realises that Arthur doesn't happen to be a bad man because he is in house all day. She realises that it is his choice but becomes curious and intend to send him a letter with Dill and Jam. Atticus stops them and tells him that Arthur Radley has all rights to be in his house all day in his house away from the comunity. Then they realise that they should give him his space and respect his desition because he is a living and breathing human being.
Scout definitely is afraid of Boo Radley the most, but Jem and Dill have a different perception of him. Jem and Dill want to get to know him and make him come out of his house. Jem and Dill think of it more as a game then a fear but Scout really doesnt want to get involved.
The perception of Boo Radley is constantly changing throughout these chapters. For example after the conversation with Miss Maudie, Scout doesnt seen to fear him as much

Over the course of the book, Scout seems to fear not fear Boo radley un less she is near the house. She has heared the truth about Boo and a little bit about his child life. jem and Dill don't seem to be so scared of Boo unless they are close to the house and see shadows. They are just to kids that want to see what Boo radley looks like. Scout learned that Boo is not what they here around in gossip thet he maybe very religionist and seat at home and read a bible she also learned that he is not dead. I think that this is why Scout is not afraid of Boo any more but Jem and Scout still are because they do not know any of the information except for thr rumors that jem is telling Dill.
looks like. Scout learned that Boo is not what they here around in gossip thet he maybe very religionist and seat at home and read a bible she also learned that he is not dead.

Throughout these chapters, Jem, Dill, and Scout's perceptions of Boo Radley keep changing. Scout is very scared of him, meanwhile Jem and Dill have a sort of interest in him. The fact that Dill and Jem now like him is a very large change, from before when they were scared of him. I think their perception of Boo changes when they start making games about him and making up scenarios reffering to his life. One thing that I noticed was that after they found our his name was Arthur they started becoming more interested in him and acting as if he was more normal. I believe that Scout's fear of Boo Radley is going to change and that she is going to become more interested in him, just like Dill and Jem.
As the story unfolds, Jem, Scout and Dill seem to be more interested in Boo Radley. As they have been growing up, they have had a mysterious presentation of Boo Radley. And now that they are getting older and thinking more, they want more information on him. This shows that not everyone in Maycomb relies on gossip for information. Jem, Scout and Dill want to know first hand who Boo Radley really is. It says something about all their characters. It shows that they aren't the typical Maycombers.
Scout, Jem, and Dill are all interested in Boo Radley because by the way Maycomb talks about him, he seems to be a rebel, and that's something that has attracted them to Boo. At first, Boo radley was just a mysterious figure that many people talked about beacause his actions were unheard of and "abnormal" to them. But to Scout, Jem , and Dill he's more of like a mysterous chest they are trying to unlock. As days go by they play games, making Boo Radley's life into a childish past time. But they more they play the more they are intrigued by the truth. They notice then that all they really wanted is to know why Boo Radley stays inside and all the things in his past.And that's when curiosity takes them by the hand and leads them to do things like trying to peek through his window. From then on fear was no longer fear, it was replaced by curousity and nothing short of that.
When Jem, Scout, and Dill find out more things About Boo(like that his first name is Arthur)That just makes them more curious. Every bit of information that they get makes them want more.
Before they were actually interested in him they didn't know anything about him didn't have any idea about who that misterious man was. The only had the rumors.
So their peception changes becouse they learn more about him and start to think about him as a real person.
\over the course of these chapters dill, jem, and scout go up and down on their relashionship with Boo. They are really scared of him and all the gossip about him.
They think that he is scary from the moment they heard about him to the moment up to the fire. At this point Dill is gone thinking that Boo is still evil. Scout and Jem go to the scene of the fire and watch. Sometime during this period somebody puts a blanket on Scout. They later find out it was Boo her view totally changes and so does Jem's my prediction is that Boo is talented and a nice man I think he's the one leaving presents in the tree and the one who sewed Jem's pants and folded them up
At first, Scout, Jem and Dill's first perception (curiosity) of Boo Radley was that he was this horrible monster who was the source of all the unusual things that happened in Maycomb. Since they had never seen or spoken to Boo Radley they formed crazy stories about him as a game from gossip they had heard from certain neighbors. I agree with jake, their perception of Boo Radley changes when Atticus tells them that Boo Radley is still a person and not to bother a person who choses to be left alone. I think this change has occurred because Atticus didn't want Scout and Jem to have the wrong idea of someone they didn't even know.
There perception changes like they are more curios and also think that they want to meet him and they aren't scared like everybody else. They start to think of him more as a friend not a person that they have never meet before. I think that this has changed because of the children's curiosity of him. It changed because they wanted to meet him and know him.
Scout and Jem experience many thiings with Boo Radley. They did not go specifically to him, but in the shadows he has helped them, like giving them presents, covering them with blankets and probably watching their daily exploits. Even though at the time Scout does not understand this, Jem does.
