Atticus as a Father

I think Atticus is good father. He is not to strict but he also keeps his children in line when they start being trouble. When Atticus was talking to Uncle Jack and said " Don't pay any attention to her Jack. She's just trying you out." I thought that it was weird that Atticus would just let her cuss. All together I think Atticus is a good father.

My Parents compared to Atticus are very strict. My parents would never let me get away with cussing in front of them. Also they wouldn't let me get an air rifle. If I was making fun of someone in front of them i would be grounded for ever. Atticus would be a good father but i prefer mine.

Changing Perceptions of Boo Radley

Some things they do are, they talk to Miss. Maudie about Boo and if hes a live or not and she says "His name's Arthur and he's alive." (P.43 chapter 5). She also tells him that he doesn't come out much because he is a foot washing Baptist and his religion thinks any thing that brings pleasure is a sin. They also sneak into the Radleys yard and when trying to escape Jem catches his pants and has to leave them tangled in the fence and when he comes back to get them later he finds them folded and stitched up poorly to almost make it look like Jem did it him self. These events make my view on Boo much different I now don't think he is as scary as he used to be also he sounds like a kinda nice guy.

Scouts discussion with Miss. Maudie changed my perception on Boo because she said he was an religious extremist and dosen't come out because he dosen't want to. Also in their play they were yelled at by Atticus because they were just making it up and didn't know anything about Boo except for the rumors they heard.

Boo Radley

My first impression of Boo Radley is this crazy kid who everyone has heard rumors about. I think he is crazy because he stabbed his dad with a pair of scissors. "Boo drove his scissors into his parents leg." (pg. 11). This would make me believe that he is crazy and i would be afraid to go anywhere near him if I saw him.



I think i am more like Jem because he always does the right thing (so far) he is also smart. Even when Jem was being pressured by Dill he still made the right choice and didn't go and touch Mr. Radley's house.

My favorite thing about English this year is setting up this blog. This is my favorite thing because it is better than writing papers and turning them in.
