The Fake/Not so Boo Radley

My Boo Radley would be kind of like school, like when elementary school kids leave for to middle school, it's scary at first, being nervous from the year before all the way until the day it starts. But then when you actually get into it, meeting new people isn't all that hard, I used to be very shy, so going to a new school was hard for me at first, but once I got used to it, it wasn't that bad. Just like Boo Radley, people were afraid of him because they didn't know what he was like, but by the end of the story, Scout finally knew that she had been assuming things about Boo. Just the thought of being around about 200 other people was scary to me, I never thought I could cope with the conditions, so I tried my best to avoid school.

I'm pretty sure I don't have to tell people who read this the instrumental value of school in my life, but I will say it anyways. School has the value in my life of learning, and education, it teaches me new things about life and helps make new friends. Scout is kind of the same, she would be nervous about the Radley house because of Boo, she thought of him as a kind of real ghost, so she started avoiding the house and trying not to think of who or what Boo would be like. But just as it happens in the end of my story, Boo actually in the end isn't very intimidating, if she just took the time to get used to it, she could get along with Boo pretty fast.
