Boo (Arthur) Radley: Arthur Radley is the neighbor to The Finch family. Arthur has an interesting reputation in Maycomb. The children in town call him Boo. It was rumored that "Boo" stabbed his father with a pair of scissors. No one has seen the adult Arthur. When he was a teenager, Arthur got into trouble for locking the sheriff in a jail cell and swearing in front of a woman. As a result, his father never let him leave the house again. Arthur is a very generous person; sewing Jem's pants, leaving Jem and Scout gifts in the tree. But everyone is too scared to realize how good of a person he actually is.
In Chapter 28, Jem and Scout are walking around at night, it's pitch black and they're alone. All of a sudden they hear something or someone following them. Bob Ewell's after them. Bob breaks Jem's arm and tries to choke Scout. Without the kids knowing, Arthur stabs Bob and carries Jem back home. This proves to the kids who Arthur really is. He's a very kind person, not who they originally thought he was. |

I chose the "Mr. Grinch" because, even though this song shows how mean the grinch is, in the christmas movie it shows that the grinch is really nice and has a heart just like Boo Radley.
