My Boo Radley would probably be my neighbor Doug. While not reclusive or the victim of general stigma, I was totally intimidated by him. Him and his riding lawn mower. He has a giant riding lawnmower, which even considering the size of his yard seemed unreasonable. So he had this mower and he would mow the lawn every week or so and it was like the loudest thing ever when I was five. I would always how many people got run over by that thing.
So any way we would go over to his house sometimes for parties or Halloween or Halloween parties. But I never really got to know him well. As I grew up I saw him less and less. But then I got a job from him to watch his cats while he and his wife were on vacation. So I did and he paid me a lot and I got to know him. He was actually pretty nice.
My Boo Radley story was similar to To Kill a Mockingbird because I was afraid of a guy and now I’m not. However he did not save my life or anything. It dose mature you to learn the truth of things and conquer your fears. =)
