Boo Emerges!


I thought that the ending to the book To Kill A Mockingbird was great. There was a lot of foreshadowing that Scout and Jem would meet Boo and eventually in the end he saves their lives by killing Bob Ewell. However, I found it kind of ironic that Scout didn't realize that it was Boo until she was in Jem's room with him. I thought that since they had been wanting to meet him so bad that they would be looking out for him 24/7 and would notice him if they saw him. But I guess i was wrong. I also found it ironic that Bob Ewell attacked Atticus' children instead of Atticus himself, of course, who would want to try to attack the best shot in Maycomb?? I thought the book was really good and had a great meaning to it. Any comments?

I thought that was interesting as well. The person they were serching for came and found them not the other way around as they had hoped.

"24/7" LOL...

umm anyway I'm not surprised that he attacked his chillen because he's so angry with Atticus and he knows that he could cause Atticus the most pain by hurting his family.

Mr.Ewell was just mad at Atticus and saw his childern and attacked them I think that Mr.Ewell was afraid of Atticus.I'm really glad Scout got to meet Boo.Jem didn't though I bet he won't believe Scout at first when she tells him.

I completely agree with you. I was wondering why Bob Ewell didn't just attack Atticus, but then I thought it would probably be more devistating if the children were hurt. Overall I thought this book was great, but I wish the ending was a little different.
