Boo Radley Blog Post

Scout and Jem are going threw the wood because they went to a pageant and Scout messed up really bad when she missed her part because she fell asleep.She came out at the last minute and she ruined the pageant,she was so embarrassed that she wanted everyone to leave first so she could go last and that way she wouldn't feel embarrassed.On the way home Jem hears something following him and Scout and at first they think it's Jacob a kid who scared them earlier.But no it wasn't him it was Bob Ewell and he meant to do business he tried to kill Scout and Jem.But he failed to because Scout still had her costume on and that saved her life,but Jem had a broken arm.Someone came and took Jem and Scout home were they later realised that Bob Ewell was found dead with a knife in his ribs.

Nathan Radley killed Bob Ewell in self-defense because he wanted to harm Jem and Scout.But everyone thinks Jem killed Bob and thats sounds kind of hard to believe because Jem had a broken arm.And there is no way he would of gotten up and tried tackling a large man and killing him with his own knife.Mr.Tate switch knife's to make it look like Bob killed himself on accident,but again that is hard to believe.We know that Mr.Tate is trying to get Boo Radley out of this and he is trying to convince Atticus that Jem didn't kill Bob,so he did.This is the first time Scout has seen Boo and he is not scared of him anymore.

My reaction of this chapter is insane because Boo Radley killed Bob Ewell and ended up saving Scout and Jem from him because he wanted to kill them.I find cool that Bob died because he's the reason why Tom died.He beat up his daughter and blamed it on Tom,I never expected that Boo Radley a guy who spends his time in his house would kill the most hated person in the book.For the first time after 400 pages we get to see Boo Radley!I never expected him to come  out because I always thought he was one of those characters who people talk of,but never do anything(Like never show up or be part of any event in the book).Are you also surprised  to see Boo Radley come out for the first time?I still don't get why Atticus thinks Jem killed Bob,I find it kind of dumb,but I still respect Atticus it's just that I find it silly.
