My first impressions of Boo Radley would be that he is misunderstood, and from the story I would say that he is abused. Like when he is locked in his house for fifteen years after getting in trouble for locking Mr. Conners in the outhouse. I also think that he has gone crazy from the lack of socialization (i.e. stabbing his father with scissors). I also believe that he is scared of the outside world, or else I think he would have ran away by now. His family must know that he has something wrong with him, or else they wouldn't have constant supervision. Although the rumors about him stabbing his father may not be true, I believe that that the town makes up such rumors because the Radley's are so secluded in their house and away from society.
"Jem gave a reasonable description of Boo: Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained- if you hate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off. There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped; and he drooled most of the time." (pg. 13)
Honestly I think I relate most to Jem. I would be scared to go up to the Radley place most likely on a dare, if someone tried my bravery. Unlike Scout, I would face my fears and get it over with. But unlike Dill, I would not volunteer to just got up to the creepy, decrepit old house.

Haha, I didn't even mean to write about Boo Radley watching the little kids, I think I just typed and was not really paying attention but I am glad you brought that up!
Anyways, I really like how you discribed Boo Radley as misunderstood. That fits everything about him. People just don't understand where he is coming from and then asume things from his actions. You did a great job explaning him. Oh, and I like that picture you put up of him! Nice touch:)
Hey Whitney. I thought your perception on Boo was pretty interesting. You gave a lot of details on how Boo Radley you thought might have gone crazy from and how he looks which made me enjoy your perception. I also liked your quote from the book that you got I think that was a good choice just because it goes along with your story well.
hey, i think you describing him as misunderstood said about everything in one. Because i don't think he wants to be in there and i he seems nice. Also i don't see where your second answer to the question is so i am done. Keep Bloggin.
