In the beginning of this book, the relationship between Boo Radley and the children is not very good. Atticus, the children's father has to often tell them to leave him alone and to not go over there. As kids always do, they don't listen. The kids are terrified that Boo Radley is an ugly freak of nature, that went crazy during his younger years . Throughout the book, they share their thoughts on him, what they think he looks like and what he does in the house. (He never come out of his home). The children (Jem, Scout and Dill) try many times to torment boo by sending notes and sneaking into his backyard. They never get a reaction and they never see him. They only thing that happens is that they get in trouble. As the years go on the children become less scared of him and don't try to get him to come out. They move on slowly and start to become interested other things and they get fascinated with new activities. They've come to understand that Boo Radley needs to be left alone and that it's not right to torment him or anyone. They still have to pass the Radley house on the way to school but now they don't race past in fear. They walk pass and still think about what he would look like or what they would do if they saw him outside. Now he's a memory and they don't try to bug him anymore.

Well done. You had some good points and ideas. I think you should have added what happened when Scout finally met Boo at the end of the book. Next time maybe try to add a quotation so that the reader knows what part of the book you are talking about. A little more detail would be nice to see but other then that is was really well done.

Nice job! You had a lot of really good points. Like Valerie said I think you should maybe go back and add something about the interaction between Scout and Boo at the end of the novel. Other than a few spelling and grammar mistakes this was really good!
