'To Kill A Mocking Bird' by Harper Lee
he sees Bob Ewell walking up to Scout and her brother, Jem, and Bob Ewell tries to kill them but Boo Radley saves the children by killing Bob Ewell. During all this commotion in the dark, it's night time, Jem fractures his arm badly, so Boo, supposedly shy and sensitive, carries Jem back to their own house. After the doctor and the sheriff leave the house, Boo asks Scout to take him home, which she does, then for the second time Scout stands on the Radley porch and for once is in Boo Radley's shoes and now knows why he doesn't come out, he doesn't want to, she shows emotion here too, understanding and friendship. This incident is on pages 260-279. On pages 278-279 is when Scout walks Boo back to his house: '"Will you take me home?" ....... Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough.' So I conclude to say that the character just written about is both courageous and emotional, but, like everyone else, se has real life conflicts with fellow characters. Scout is worth well to study about, knowing all that has been described and stated I hope you agree with me.
