Ms. Lee has gone a long way to create this novel of carefully sustained mystery that she calls "To Kill A Mockingbird". Harper Lee Describes her tranquil southern town that surprises you with a climax so astonishing, it can be described as an erupt lava of emotions. In this melodramatic novel, the most unforgettable character, in my opinion, was Arthur Radley(A.K.A. Boo). Boo can be characterized as reclusive, misinterpreted, and in some ways parental.

Of course this wasn't true, and the children were quite frightened by him. On one occasion, Miss Maudie tells Scout "Miss. Steph...
