Childrens Curiosity
The only thing to fear is fear itself
-President Roosevelt, 1933. Why are the children so fascinated with Boo Radley? Do you think theyre true, all those things they say about B-Mr. Arthur? (p. 45) Were askin him real politely to come out sometimes, and tell us what he does in there we said we wont hurt him and wed buy him an ice cream. (p. 47) He lay down, and for a while I heard his cot trembling. Soon he was still. I did not hear him stir again. (p. 57)

NATHAN RADLEY

Says hes got the other barrel waitin for the next sound he hears in that patch, an next time he wont aim high, be it dog, nigger, or Jem Finch! (p. 54)

BOO RADLEY Every night-sound I heard from my cot on the back porch was magnified three-fold; every scratch of feet on the gravel was Boo Radley seeking revenge, every passing Negro laughing was Boo Radley loose and after us; insects splashing against the screen were Boo Radleys insane fingers picking the wire to pieces (p. 55)
