My first impression of Boo Radley was he was a really weird guy that you would not want to mess with. This was because of all the rumors the kids say even though i don't think its true. I don't think the rumors are true that Boo Radley eats squirrels and walk up to Jem's house and look inside his window at night. The kids are in first grade and this all does not sound like something that would be true knowing that jem heard some of it from the neighborhood gossiper. I think people of Maycomb would make up these things because some of it might be true but when someone tells someone else something in a small community it can become much different from what it really was.
I think in the situation of Boo Radley i would react most like Jem. I think I would be like him because I am usually the one to take all the dares and tell all the stories. Also i would be the one that passes on rediculous rumors and stories while doing so make them more unrealistic. I think Jem did all of this because on page 11 jem recalled one time one time when Boo radley was heard from again. Once when Boo was sitting in the living room cutting up a newspaper for his scrap book, "as Mr.Radley passed by, Boo drove the scissors into his parent's leg, pulled them out, and resumed his activities.". This is one example of him stretching the story i little bit i think.

You had a good response. I really doubt that what the town's people say about Boo Radely is true. What i think is that the town's people just don't understand anything about him. they make up these stories based on the little information that they have. Boo Radely probably has problems but i doubt he eats squirls?
