Boo Radley symbolized a mocking bird in the book “To Kill a Mocking Bird.” Boo was simply a guy who did not like to go out and associate with other people and because of this he was tormented and teased. When the Jem and Scout receive a gun and are hunting their father, Atticus, tells them that they could shoot any bird, but the mocking bird. The reason being that the mocking bird does nothing wrong, all it does is make beautiful music for everyone to hear.Boo Radley had a hard life growing up with his family and the town.

No one really knew the truth because he never came out. People’s imaginations just got the best of them and soon everyone was scared of this man and his house. A mocking bird never does anything wrong, it just sings to fill the air with beautiful music. It just happens that it is a bird and when people go hunting they go hunting for birds.Kids would run by the Radley house in fear that they would be killed, they would play games to see who was the bravest, and they would make up stories about the family and act them out. Boo had never actually hurt anyone or done any sort of crime he was just did not like to be around people because all they did is torture him, do you blame him? A mocking bird does not eat or nest in any of the crops; it just minds it’s own business. Boo Radley was actually a nice guy, they just need to give him a chance to prove it. When Jem, Scout, and Dill were trespassing they started to run away and Jem ripped his pants so he left tem there. When he went back later to get them they were all folded and sewn together. The children also would always find presents in the big tree in front until it was cemented closed. All of this was done by Boo in secret. The most important part was when Boo saved Jem...
