(SD) One of leaves of the story that constantly comes back is the mysterious character of Boo Radley. (CM) Boo, who is a subject of fascination for Jem, Dill, and Scout, is mentioned a vast amount of times in the story’s plot. (CM) At the time of the trial the mentioning of Boo died down faster than an animal in a wood logged rainforest, but now he made his appearance and Scout got emotional as she said “Hey Boo.” With tears make tiny rivers down her bruised but smooth face. (SD) When Jem was thirteen he broke his elbow but “He couldn’t have cared less, so long as he could pass and punt” which is referring to football. (CM) The first and second sentence in To Kill a Mockingbird, out of 376 pages were some of the most important things to remember for they talked about how Jem likes football.(CM) This is constantly dragged back into the story as the kids get older.(SD)
