Question

Lesson 7 'To Kill A Mockingbird'

Please complete each question (aim to write a paragraph for each).


1.Why is Boo presented as frightening and grotesque?

2.How does our starter word (prejudice) link to the depiction of Boo?.

3.What themes are important at the end of the chapter?.

Answer 1

1. First, Boo Radley is a figure of fear and mystery for the children, representing an unknown entity that may be violent, insane, feral or otherwise wild, and vindictive. Second, Boo Radley is a frightened man when he finally appears in person, afraid to walk home by himself on a dark night.

2. An example of prejudice is when Boo Radley is excluded from society just because he is not like everyone else. He is different because he never comes out of his house. Due to this act of prejudice, the kids do not go near his house and the townspeople are led to believe that they should fear him.

3.Bob Ewell's attack on the children and the subsequent appearance of Boo Radley represents the final act of Jem's and Scout's loss of innocence. The theme of courage and cowardice is found in the scurrilous decision by Bob Ewell to kill Atticus's children and the heroic actions of Boo to protect them.
