In To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, there are many different
types of people in the Maycomb County. There are the Cunningham’s who live in
the backwoods. The Ewell’s are the white trash in Maycomb County. Normal people
like the Finch’s, occupy most of Maycomb County. Then there are the black
people, but what about the Radley’s? They’re sort of in their own category when
it comes to groups of people. They’re kind of like the creepy people in the
neighborhood who never come out of their house but do on rare occasions. Then
there’s Boo.
He’s sort of like Big Foot, nobody
has really seen him but there are many rumors about him. For example, Ms.
Stephanie Crawford said she saw him looking straight at her in the middle of
the night. Jem said that one morning, he saw Boo’s tracks in the backyard and
judged that he was six and a half feet tall looking at his tracks. Some people also
think he eats raw squirrels and cats. However, he’s much different. He’s still about
six feet tall but has the mental attitude of a child. Toward the end, of the
book when Scout takes him to see Jem, he never speaks at all except when he
asks Scout to take him home very softly. Boo doesn’t seem like a monster like
everyone thinks he is, but a regular human being, cut off from society and
judged by that.
This is a good start, although you could have used an author's note.
