Emily Callan Due Date: Tuesday 6th Journal 2 I am reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and I am on page 42. This book is about a young girl named Scout Finch and her brother Jem Finch, who live in Maycomb, Alabama in the year 1961. In this journal I will be predicting and evaluating. I predict that Scout and Jem will not meet Arthur “Boo” Radley. I think they will not meet Boo because he is locked up and they are afraid of him and his family.

For instance no one will eat the pecans that fall from the tree in the Radley’s backyard or whenever someone passes by the house they run. Also if ball goes over the fence into the backyard it is never going be regained. Many people are terrified of the Radley house and Boo because of the history behind the two. Because of the events that happened in the past, many stories were formulated about Boo. According to the people of Maycomb, Boo wanders around at night and looks in people’s windows. People say that if he breathes on their azaleas that they will wither and die.
