Boo Radley starts out in the TKAMB as a mysterious character, who is rarely seen. He is made up to be a ghost in Maycomb. Rumors such as that he got into so much trouble as a teen, to keep him from going to prison his father agreed to keep him confined to the house and now Boo eats the heads off of chickens and is a probably mentally unstable to the point he would stab his father, created fear into the children's of Maycomb where they would walk extra miles to avoid his house and or run
paint on the exterior of the house is chipping. The people that live there rarely come outside their property, only to leave for work, and return later that evening. The town lives in fear of the strange people whom reside there. They separate themselves from any social interaction. They are the whispers that flow through the town. They are outsiders. Every town has them, and they are often criticized for their uncommon habits. In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird the Radley family attracts the town
others. This story vaguely uses the subject of certain people’s lives in the area, people such as Arthur Radley and Mayella Ewell. These two individuals are not seen as normal in many ways by the eyes of those around them, causing many negative actions to erupt into their day-to-day life.

That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”(119). In this novel it is stated twice how killing a mockingbird is a sin, yet there are still people who commit this crime.

But in reality never doing wrong, making him a model example of what it means to kill a mockingbird. Boo being the subject of cruel and false stories has the whole neighborhood

Despite Tom’s penury, he still does not accept money for helping Mayella when he tells her, “No ma’am there aint no charge” (Lee 217). Mayella had requested Tom’s aid in a house chore, and he helped her without hesitation. Tom has a disability, so helping her may have been difficult for him, yet he does not ask for payment of any kind. When he called Mayella, “ma’am”, it showed the great respect he has for her. Since there
