Boo Radley is a young dangerous boy who is not seen out of his house much. Boo has had very hard times in his life and he has made terrible decisions. He was given the opportunity to go to school but his father wouldn’t let him go. Now Boo Radley is a psycho kid.      

 (TS)Boo Radley is being imprisoned in his own home because he has a lot of serious problems. (SD)Boo and his old friends attempted to make a gang to start unnecessary violence. (CM)The gang tried to pull useless pranks and do disruptive crimes. (CM) One day they pulled some pranks but they couldn’t get away in time, so they got in trouble and had to go to court. (SD) After a while of Boo being home because of his pranks, he stabbed his father in the leg with a pair of scissors. (CM) After Boo committed the terrible crime he wiped the blood off on his leg and he resumed his cutting. (CM) Boos mother ran outside screaming, “Arthur is killing them all.” (CS)Evan though Boo is a pretty messed up kid I think he will turn himself around.

After a long while Boo's brother Nathan emerged from the darkness of their home and he was still a frightening child. I think Boo should follow in his brother’s footsteps and go outside. He could always snap back to the way he was before but I think if he stays with the right crowd he will stay normal. Boo has made some decisions that will stay with him his entire life and he will have to live with that but he is still a human and should be respected like anyone else.
