Boo's Perspective

Arthur "Boo" Radley's Perspective

I gave the kids some gifts and they are here again. They were trying really hard to get me out of the house. To be honest I really wanted to but then their dad intervened and told them to stop. They're good kids, and also very curious kids. Maybe one day I'll show myself, one day. 

Jem, poor kid, all he wanted to do was leave me note, but, Nathan being the person he is had to fill it up. He said he'll come up with an excuse for fill up the tree, like it's dying or something. He has always been someone to disappoint. Ever since Mama died he'd been actin' like this. Well, I guess people grieve in different ways.

Why, why did he do it? He is so protective of his garden he almost killed the children. He's just plain crazy, never understood his ways. In the heat of all of this I managed to cover Scout with a blanket, I care about her well-being, not as much as Atticus though. He's a very caring man, always calm and forgiving, I wish I could be more like him.

I saw Jem, he was in a struggle, Bob Ewell on top of him just beating him senselessly. I couldn't just watch. I intervened, with all my strength I threw the drunken idiot off of him, managed to take his knife and kill him. Then later that night I met the girl herself, little Scout. We were in Jem's room waiting for him to wake up. I can see her, tears in her eyes, "Finally." I thought to myself. She won't have to wonder anymore.
