** Literary Luminary **

I chose this paragraph because I think it shows how Jem and Scout grew up throughout the book and are no longer scared of Boo Radley. I also think it foreshadows Boo Radley appearing at the end of the book.
 * 1. Pg. 243 Paragraph 3 **

I think this paragraph is important because Aunt Alexandra says she is worried that Bob Ewell will have a permanent grudge and try to get back at Atticus. Atticus isn’t concerned, but in the end Aunt Alexandra was right.
 * 2. Pg. 250 Paragraph 3 **

I think these paragraphs are really important because they lead up to the attack on Jem and Scout.
 * 3. Pg. 261 Paragraphs 7-9 **

I chose these paragraphs because Scout realizes that the person who saved her and Jem’s life is the person they had been afraid of for so long. Scout begins to see Boo as an equal.
 * 4. Pg. 270 Paragraphs 5-7 **

I think this paragraph is important because it says that even though Boo Radley was never seen and never left his house he was still kind and neighborly toward Jem and Scout. He brought them different types of gifts in the tree and even saved their lives.
 * 5. Pg. 278 Paragraph 10 **
