First Impression Of Boo Radley/ Who I Am Most Like

My first impression when I read about Boo Radley was that he was a bit crazy... To me, the rumors about him defecting property and being responsible for mutilating pets are just equally crazy rumors. "When people's azaleas froze in a cold snap, it was because he breathed on them." (pg. 9) That rumor does not sound logical and sounds obviously constructed into a story. The town of Maycomb may have made up those rumors because they don't know him but automatically judged him based on his appearance and his house's image, and based on his history of being slightly deranged.
Out of the characters Jem, Dill and Scout, I think I may be more like Dill. Dill's personality seems closer to mine more because so far he seems like he started off shyer than Jem and as the story progressed slightly, he seems more outgoing. In a new environment, if I know a few people, I will talk to them but I will be more shy than usual. Then as I get used to the people around me, I become less shy. =]

You are very nice and Dill seems like a very nice person. You were a little shy in 7th and a little in 8th but now you are more ougoing! :)

You described your first impression of Boo really well. i agree with you and you used great descriptions of him. Dill does sound a lot like you. the way he seems more into things after he gets to know people.
