Question

Boo Radley is a innocent man. That is what makes him a mockingbird. We first learn that Boo has been misjudged in maycomb when he leaves gifts for the children.The same could be said for the event where he saves Jem and Scout. Boo was described by the townsfolk as a violent man. The violence against the children that Boo prevents shows his true nature by comparison and juxtaposition. We see that Boo is a mockingbird because of the contrast with Bob Ewell. Although he kills Mr. Ewell, it was not out of malice but an accident. Boo then carries Jem gently all the way home and stays with him to make sure he is alright. The two events (giving the children gifts and saving Jem) do not make Boo a mockingbird, they simply reveal it to the reader.
