In the final chapter of To kill a Mockingbird, Scout first started talking about Boo radley. She was talking about how he was uncomfortable at her house at he did not know what to do, she then said that it was incredible that she have never seen him before, and there he was sitting next to her. She then asked him if she would like to say goodnight to jem, she then led him towards jem’s room, and scout told him that he could pet jems head if he wanted, he did then he squeezed scouts hand saying he wanted to go. While she was walking him he told her in a whisper if she could walk him home, she did but she did it in a way that it looked like Arthur was being a gentleman , and walking her home, after she dropped him off at his home she never saw him again. Scout then started saying all the things that have happened in the book lead to this moment, she then looked at the neighborhood, in Arthur’s perspective and she started naming the people that live in those houses. She went back home, and saw that atticus is reading a book next to jem, and she asked if she could join, and he said yes, she fell asleep short after, and when she was nudged by atticus to go to her own room she started saying what was going on in the book, and the final sentence was from Atticus saying that everyone is kind once you meet them.

My thoughts on this chapter was that it was written really well, I liked the part at the end when she was talking about the book that Atticus was reading, and how similar the story was to Boo Radley. I also liked the part when she saw her neighborhood in a new perspective, Boo’s perspective. The Final line in the book from Atticus were really well written, and how good it matches with Boo Radley. How at the end when scout finally met him, and it turned out that no rumor was true about him, and how he is just a nice person. One thing I don’t like about this chapter is that it doesn’t say what happened afterwards with the problem with Bob, what about his children are they going to be okay?
