As people grow older there usually are people in throughout life that help guide along the path to who they become as an adult. That person could be a teacher, parent, neighbor, or even the town scandal. Whoever the person might be they are not forgotten due to the large imprint they make in your life. Arthur "Boo" Radley is the one that is a significant part of Scout and Jem's life. In To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Arthur is a caring empathetic person and feels very close bond towards Jem and Scout.
             Arthur Radley is a caring empathetic person who cares for Jem and Scout. "Boo's hand hovered over Jem's head." "His hand came down lightly on Jem's hair." (Page 278) Even though it is a small gesture Boo shows his sympathy and love for Jem. Boo just needed to touch the boy he'd watched for so long, as if to make sure he actually existed. Through that small touch Arthur most likely saw himself at that age, and how fragile and young he was, and as he saw Jem laying in bed he thought that the small touch would somehow help him to heal, as if to tell him "I'm here now, don't be afraid." "Boo saw me run instinctively to the bed where Jem was sleeping, for the same shy smile crept over his face." (Page 271) When Scout runs to Jem's bed, Arthur smiles. He cares enough to see that Scout attempts to seek the protection she was raised to want when faced with anything that is frightening, and Arthur knows not to take it personally. Arthur Radley sees the love Scout has for her brother and that love is likely what prompted Arthur to watch them, to see the love interaction between them that he never had. Arthur feels empathy toward Scout and her effort, he most likely aches that he had someone to go see when he was that age and afraid.
