Also the spelling bee metal could represent that scout should treasure her education and knowledge for words? Does the aluminum knife show the connection to what happens to Mr. Ewell in the end of the book? I would love if you could help me with the twine and the pennies! Do the pennies represent the luck Boo wants them to have in the near future with the trial and also have the small wealth since they are going through hard economic times? Lastly does the pocket watch resemble that boo is stuck in time and so is the town due to the racism in the town in general and the racism in the trial??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12852577410232755416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609024879708052971.post-86650140538944026842011-04-20T15:58:49.327-07:002011-04-20T15:58:49.327-07:00I agree with you, Jillian. I think that Boo Radley...I agree with you, Jillian. I think that Boo Radley wanted to find a discrete way to communicate with Scout and Jem. He left them items in the tree for them to find and figure out what they mean. Right now, Scout and Jem are just accepting the items without trying to understand what Boo is trying to tell them. <br />"My first impulse was to get it into my mouth as quickly as possible, but them I remembered where i was." This quote explains how when Scout found the first gift, all she thought about was eating it. <br />So far in the story, it is very hard to tell what these items mean or symbolize. But later on in the story, I beleive it will express Boo's vast knowledge and wisdom. <br />Right now, Scout and Jem view Boo as this monster the myths have created. As they continue to receive items and figure out who it is, I beleive that they will have a lot more respect for him. <br />Mr. Radley filled the tree hole with cement to cut off communication with Boo and the kids. Scout has told us that Boo is locked up in the house because when he was younger, he was caught making trouble. But we cannot tell if this is true or not because of all of the other myths that are obviously not true. <br />I beleive later on in the book,all of the items the kids found in the tree will make sense and serve as a large symbol for the entire book.natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384862528424607293noreply@blogger.com
