My perception of Boo really changed after reading chapters 4-8. At first I thought that Boo Radley was really creppy and weird like a nobody. But then later I sort of realized Boo wasn't so bad because the author really started to bring out his true nature. For example, Boo played games with Jem and Scout by leaving them things they enjoyed. Boo left them gum, and other items that the kids enjoyed taking. Boo obviously enjoyed it being a secret which I realized he sort of was coming out of his shell you could say from being sheltered to long.
When Scout had the duscussion with Miss Maudie and she said, "They take the Bible literally you know." This made me think that Boo worries about fitting in with the town cause of the way he has acted or just the way the family acted because of religion or maybe just because of the stories people have been told about him going crazy. I also think Boo could be a little weirded out because his brother filled up the tree with cement because he told Jem and Scout it was dying so now they might think the Radley's are truly weird people.

I agree with you new preception of Boo. He does want to come out of the shell but he basically can't. I also think that he is not a bad person, it is just expected though because he stays in his house all the time and nobody has seen him for a long time. When he puts gum in the little knot hole in the tree for the children I think that also shows that Boo cares and wants to help them enjoy themselfs.
Anyways, nice job.
