Wow. I Did NOT Want The Book To End.

I'm so glad that Boo came out of his home. My theory is that maybe he has that wierd allergen to the sun. people do get that. or maybe he's albino. It would make sense since he is only out at night.

I'm wondering what Bob Ewell did to break Jem's elbow in that kind of way. It confuses me because if he barely got him, wouldn't he just barely hurt him? It says that Jem was pulled off and then Scout heard him scream and then it was quiet.

I remember when I was her age, I'd run through people's yards at night because I figure that if someone would want to kill me, I could scream and I'd be saved by a loyal neighbor.

I have had many off childhood experiences. Kind of like Scout's, really. My older brother would be Jem and I'd be Scout. We used to have a tree nearby that we would always climb and, once, we found this guy, Chance, in the yard next to ours staring at us playing Cops and Robbers. I always liked to be the robber, but then so would my brother. Ao Chance came and it was kind of like Dill and Scout and everything was all childish and sweet. Then he moved.

Strange.

Okay. Let me clear some stuff up for you. First of all, Boo doesn't come out of his house cuz everybody would freak and also, his dad doesn't let him out. Secondly, Ewell does manual labor. If he threw a twelve year old to the ground, he could break his arm. My brother broke his wrist just falling.
Anyways, its really cool the similarities between Scout and Jem meeting Dill and you and your brother meeting Chance.

Well, Nathan Radley always comes out at night and sun allergens can be an inherited gene. I didn't take into consideration that he worked with lumber, but also consider that his elbow the one of the strongest parts of an arm and his was facing the exact wrong direction. it's like your feet being turned around, but broken to stay that way.
Yah, Chance was my first "boyfriend".

Good, close reading, technolover! This blogger is right about Boo. I'm thinking there are a lot of clues about how Boo might know the kids needed his help.

I also have wonderful memories about playing outside with my kids!

Wait a second, your kids or Ms. James's kids?

SO did Ms. James teach you how to type, Katiedog?
