In chapters 4-8 boo radley can be traced back to many mysterious occurences. Some of the things that could be traced back to him were jems pants being sewed up like a little kid had done them. That shows that Boo was trying to help jem so that he wouldnt get in trouble for lying to atticus. Also he made them a carving of themselves, gave them gum, and their biggest prize, a stopwatch that atticus said could be worth 10 dollars. This stuff shows that boo radley is not a scary man and that all he wants is to have some friends and to interact with people other than just staying in his house all day.
Scouts disscusion with Ms. Maudie adds to my perception that he is a nice person. When they were talking Ms. Maudie said that when her and Aurthur Radley were little he said nothing but nice things to her no matter what folks said he did. She also said that he spoke as nice as he knew how and that is pretty good considering that he was locked up in his house for most of his life. All in all, I think that boo radley is a very nice man and i think that he is doing very nice things for scout and jem for keeping them out of trouble and not letting them have the life that he had.
