First Impressions!

My first impression of Boo Radley was that he was a mean man who lived in an old house. I do not not think that the rumors about Boo Radley are true because people make up things about others just because they want an answer for themselves.(pg. 11)" Jem received most of his information from miss Stephanie Crawford, a neighborhood scold, who said she new the whole thing." (pg. 11)"As Mr. Radley passed by, Boo drove scissors into his parents leg, pulled them out, wiped them on his pants, and resumed his activities." The reason i do not believe in the rumors is because no one in Maycomb has any proof. Based on the first sentence, it show that Jem heard it from Stephanie Crawford who said she new the whole thing, but who knows, she could have made it up. I think that the people of Maycomb are making up these rumors in the first place because they don't know who Boo Radley is. They have to come up with a reason in their mind for what he does and who he is, because they can not stand having someone who is not like them, who they know nothing about.


I think that i am most similar to Jem because he makes the most rational decisions. He seems like he is the leader of the group and he try's to be the most mature. Although he makes mistakes, he is able to take responsibly for them and move on. I think i am like Jem because i too am a leader. I like to help people with their problems, and i am responsible like Jem. last but not least the main reason i am most like Jem is because i am mature. I know when its time too be silly and when its time to be quite and calm. Although Jem isn't always that way it seems like he try's his best... just like me.
