kill a mockingbird.' To me, this chapter is important because we see
Arthur Radley’s personality, his soft side and this causes Scout to put herself
in Arthur's shoes. After Boo rescues Jem and Scout from the attack from Bob
Ewell, and Scout is explaining to everyone what happened, she doesn't even
realise that Boo was the one that saved her. When she realises that Boo is
sitting next to her, after having pictured Boo as this monster like figure, she
realises that the stories about the Radley’s are just wrong perceptions of the
family; Arthur especially. Arthur is just a shy, caring human being. Scout takes Boo upstairs to say goodbye to Jem and then walks him home. Scout begins to understand Arthur’s body language and realises that he is feeling uneasy so she offers to walk him home. Arthur holds onto Scouts hand as he asks her to take him home. The narrator compares Arthur’s actions to a child being scared of the dark. When Scout walks through the Radley’s gate for the second time in her life, I think she finally imagines what it’s like to be Boo. Scout knows she probably wont see Boo again because of how shy he is, but in my opinion it's a good way to end the story because it shows how much Scout has changed as a character and how her opinions have changed based on her experiences throughout the book, due to these experiences she has experienced; she has a greater understanding of people.
