The Mystery of Boo Radley

In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee sets up Boo Radley's character to keep the reader guessing and wondering what his true nature might be.

What do you know so far about Boo Radley?
In what ways is he scary and in what ways does the author make you think he might not be as bad as Scout originally thinks?
What are the facts and rumors about Boo Radley put forth at the beginning of the book, in chapter 1? Why are the children fascinated by Boo Radley?

Write two paragraphs about what you know about Boo Radley so far in the book. What do you think is really going on with this character? Describe how the author makes Boo Radley mysterious and intriguing. Address all or most of the questions above in your two paragraphs.

Due Monday, December 12.
