Changing perceptions of Boo Radley

At first I thought that Boo Radley was a scary and crazy character, But now I believe he is a scared man that has been shut away for fifteen years. I think that Boo wants to be in the outside world but he has been raised to hate the world by his father and brother. I still think that Boo is crazy to a certain degree because he was stuck in a house for fifteen years, but I believe he is a harmless crazy or barely crazy at all.

I think that Scouts discussion with Boo Radley was the main part where the book explain Boo. Miss. Maudie explains how Boo's father and brother are probably the reason for Boo's mysterioness. They shut him up in a house for most of his life to restrict his contact with other people. "What a morbid question. But I supose its a morbid subject." This qoute shows how dark the Boo Radley story is.

Hey I think you have a great point in your second paragraph but in the first paragraph each sentence contridicts the previous sentence. I don't know, maybe its just me.
