Changing perceptions of Boo Radley!

I changed my mind about Boo Radley when I found out that he sewed up the pants for Jem. He seemed nice for doing that for Jem. When Jem went back to get his pants they were folded across the fence. He didn't know what was going on at first but he finally figured it out! Boo Radley is really a nice person...he isn't like any of the rumors going around.
When Scout talked to Mrs. Maudie it changed Scouts perspectives about Boo. "When I went back for my breeches-they were all in a tangle when I was gettin' out of 'em, I couldn't get 'em loose. When I went back...they were folded across the fence."

First thoutghts of Boo Radley!

My first thoughts about Boo Radley was that he is a crazy sycopath! But i think that the stories were just rumers. I think that they were just rumers because everyone thinks that Mr. Radley is weird because he only comes out at night and his routiens when he comes out of his house. Also because of the house that they live in. Everyone thought the house was weird looking because this is what it looked like. "The house was low, was once white with a deep front porch and green shutters, but had long ago darkened to the color of the slate-grey yard around it." (page. 8)
I think i am most like Jem or Dill because i am a leader and i am courious about most things and i also am a dare devil! I do a lot of daring things like what Jem did. I know that to us that isn't a big deal but to him it was because he was afrade of that house from all of the rumers. I don't blame him being afrad of touching the house. "The old house was the same, droopy and sick, but as we rstared down the street we thought we saw an inside shutter move. Flick. A iny, almost nvisible movement, and the house was still." (page. 15)

Favorite so far!!!

In english my favorite thing so far is when we read the story "A Christmas Memory". It was a good short story. The author wrote it so well, he described the characters so good that i could picture the old lady. The activity afterward was fun and challenging because we had to look through the entire story to find a few words. So far I love english because we have done fun activities instead of boring ones. Mrs. Gilman is a great teacher so far. :)
