I believe something traumatic happened to Boo in his past that makes him stay in the house out of fear.

# data[].attributes.body
Since Boo is unable to communicate with the children by using his words, he uses a knothole box in a tree to give them gifts silently. These gifts include pennies, dolls made of soap, and gum. This is the only way he can communicate with the kids.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many rumors surrounding the Radleys and their home. Some include the rumor that inside the house lives a phantom, that they poison the fruits in their yard, and that he eats Cats and Squirrels.

# data[].attributes.body
The first impressions we get of Boo are that he is a cruel and dangerous man that you should never go near unless you are looking to get hurt.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression was that he was old and bad man nobody wants to go near

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the gift that were left in the tree for SCout and Jem by Boo radley was really sweet. That showed us more of Boo Radley's character. He was a kid and i think that he had missed out a lot as a kid and wants to become friends with Scout and Jem. At first, when I did not know who was leaving the gifts, I thought it was sweet but a little weird. So his way of silence is leaving small gifts like gum for Scout and Jem. I just think that way he is doing this is really sweet and not something you see everyday.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of Boo Radley was that he was a mysterious and creepy man. I thought that because of the rumors. He didn't come out of his house a lot. He does seem to be a little scary as I thought he would kill someone. He did make a big impact on the story.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many rumors about Boo Radley. Most of the rumors are started by the neighbors. They had not hear from Boo Radley so they are making up something things. thes rumors had spread fast throughout the story. In chapter 1 , page 16, I think that there was another rumor started by Jem. When Dill asked Jem what Boo Radley looks like, Jem said that ".........he had a long jagged scar  that ran across his face, what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most
of the time." I think what Jem said was exaggerated a little bit. Another rumor was in chapter 5, page 57. It said "Maybe he died and they stuffed him up the chimney.” That rumor was starting to spread. In chapter four, it says that Boo bit his mother's finger off one night when he couldn’t find any cats and squirrels to eat.

# data[].attributes.body
There are a bunch of rumors about Boo Radley. Some of them are that he stabbed his mother with a pair of scissors. Another rumor is that he runs around during the night, and he stays in the the Radley place basement.

# data[].attributes.body
There has been some accidents where we see that even in those situations we only assume that he came out but we never really get hard facts to back up that Boo radely comes out of his house.

# data[].attributes.body
At first I thought that Boo Radley was a creepy, and weird person that was maybe even sick, but we later find out that he was just misunderstood and that all the rumors circulating him were false

# data[].attributes.body
When you first see encounter boo radely you get an assumption that he is a creep dude that knows what people do and that he stares at people that goes on his lawn and manages to not get out the whole life.

# data[].attributes.body
Boo Radley is a possible person that could keeping things inside the knothole box, which means he is coming out of his house and not staying in his house. He might be saying that he was once a normal kid too, as evidenced by the medal. He probably notices Jem and Scout checking the tree everyday, and is trying to communicate how he feels to Jem and Scout.

# data[].attributes.body
Nobody really knows about Boo Radley, although many people automatically assume that he is weird in Maycomb because of his desire to stay inside. This is just the wrong assumption because just because someone doesn't want to go inside, doesn't necessarily mean that they are different. Everyone has their own feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
Right off the bat in Chapter One, Harper Lee gives us many of the town rumors and biases. One rumor given is told by Jem when he say, "There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time..." Rumors like this portray Boo Radley as a horrible and scary individual.

Boo Radley's way of silent communication is leaving small gifts in the knothole of a tree to reach out to children Scout and Jem. Boo Radley has grown up in a life of solitude, so as a result he has grown up shy and with proper social skills.

# data[].attributes.body
He's not what people thought he was. They kind of antagonized him by making him seem like a stalker but he is a nice guy and saved Scout and Jem from Bob Ewell

According to neighbors

# data[].attributes.body
I find his way of silent communication interesting because he is able to tell others how he feels with only a couple objects. Through the hole, he places objects to tell Scout and Jem that he is trying to communicate with them and these objects are an indicator of how he is feeling. Though, this doesn't necessarily mean he had good feelings towards them, but I think he is trying to be their friends.

# data[].attributes.body
Judging from Jem's description of Boo Radley, he seems a little crazy and unapproachable. His name spreads around quite frequently because how mysterious he is. The kids even tell scary stories about his life and reenact moments in his life.

to an outsider, the though of someone leaving toys for children sounds kind of predatory and creepy, but i think it's possible that he did try to get the attention of the kids (jem and scout) by putting old trinkets to attempt a form of friendship. of course, this may not have been apparent to scout and jem because they never would have imagined that the boo radley was trying to be their friend or talk to them. i wonder if he was aware of that.

# data[].attributes.body
I am going to go ahead and infer that the never ending silence of Boo Radley is probably some kind of message that the reader must try to identify either in the middle or most likely at the end of the story. In my opinion, Harper Lee wouldn't have kept Boo Radley as a mysterious character and have kept us wondering for the whole read. Maybe, he might also be hiding something, a solution or piece of information that is crucial to a problem, like the Tom Robinson (it may not be that exactly).

# data[].attributes.body
Many, many rumors about Boo Radley were floating around Maycomb at that time, and I think this is largely because no one has seen or heard from him for a very long time. People have very vivid imaginations, and sometimes they can go crazy in thought. The same people also start to blame him for anything that happens, as almost no one stops them as the whole town is curious about Radley. For example, when people's pets were found dead, everyone was quick to blame Boo Radley, because there were already so many rumors about him, adding another would just have made things more interesting for everyone. We see in our lives how rumors can start to spread within seconds. Radley had been gone from sight for years and years, so naturally there is a lot of gossip and false statements about him in town.

# data[].attributes.body
After reading about him supposedely stabbing his father, I'm started to grow wary of when he is mentioned.

There are so many rumors surrounding Boo Radley that he seems like the scapegoat that everyone hates and blames for everything gone wrong as a result. It's hard to believe how the rumors have become so widespread and widely believed, and I think the reason for this is because there's prejudice against him already. People want to hate him and find reasons to do so through the rumors. Maycomb culture dictates that people be social and vocal or else they will be considered an outcast. Boo Radley not conforming to that is seen as a thing to be despised and people made the rumors because they wanted to condemn him for being a recluse. The rumors kind of suggest "Don't be like him," and even if he did go outside, people would probably still hate him for missing out on the culture. With the hate Atticus received for being pro-black (and therefore against the culture), Boo would probably be seen the same way.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of Boo Radley was almost completely based off of Scout's retelling of town rumors. The reason I wrote "almost completely" is  because I understood that these were "town rumor" and were likely dramatized and magnified the act that had occurred. A place where I had the strongest hint of this exaggeration was when Scout talks about where her, Jem and Dill got their information from for the drama they had created. She says "It was a melancholy little drama, woven from bits and scraps of gossip and
neighborhood legend." Which further proves my point that although rumors and gossip accounted for much of the information of Boo Radley so far , they aren't reliable enough to get a real image of the character of Boo Radley.

# data[].attributes.body
Scout, Jem and Dill are interested and at the same time spooked by him. They dare each other to touch the Radley house and do other actions related to this but still fear him because of many rumors spread about him.

# data[].attributes.body
i think it was impressed repeatedly upon the reader that though everyone went out of their way to stigmatize the radley house, the man himself was really not as bad as people whispered. it was almost a subliminal message to readers that whatever was being said about the man wasn't exactly true -- that women and townsfolk exaggerated or completely fabricated false rumors when, in reality, they knew little to nothing about the man.

# data[].attributes.body
The first Impression of Boo Radley is not a good one due to the various rumors the people of Maycomb say about him. But as you read more and more you realize that he is actually a decent person and people of the town don't really know.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the fact the he never leaves his house and there are people like Miss Stephanie Crawford to spread rumors, he just stays in his quiet home. He stays inside and that just makes him suspicious.

# data[].attributes.body
He stabbed his mother with scissors, he runs around at night time and lives off of eating rats and animals.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think any of the rumors are true about Boo Radley because I feel like he's not that bad. People say he's weird because he always stays inside and he stabbed his mom with scissors but I don't think that is true and I feel like he is actually really nice. For example, he gave Scout a blanket during the fire when it was cold even though her brother and Dill kept on bothering him. Miss Maudie also said that when he was young he was polite and kind.

# data[].attributes.body
He is said to kill his own step brother just because he was annoying Boo radely. Also he was said to kill his own parents and this happened all when he was young.

# data[].attributes.body
People see him as a normal human but then they live in his neighborhood and they instantly get afraid of him. There was one part when scout heard boo radely laughing in his house.Which only made him more stalkish and weird

# data[].attributes.body
Since many people really don't know who boo Radely is they just accuse him of doing somethings that he might not even do. Because one part of the book says that someone committed a crime and they found the thief but everybody still looked a boo radely like he did something

When I read this quote I found out that Radley doesn't like black people because they are many rumors that he has killed many people. And this causes minorities to be afraid.

# data[].attributes.headline
Maycomb County perceives him to be very malicious due to the rumors of stabbing his mother. Since these rumors haven't been corrected, it's safe to say that a lot of Maycomb Country fears him.

Boo Radley is described as this savage gangster who has a very intimidating father. At one point Scout also describes Boo Radley to eat animals raw and that statement strikes readers remarkably, proving that Boo isn't sane at first glimpse.

# data[].attributes.body
The way Scout described him makes the readers think he is creepy and mysterious. It also lets the viewers understand that there is something up with him

# data[].attributes.body
I personally feel like the townspeople are just making a bunch of rumors about Boo Radley because he always stays inside and apparently never does anything. There is no evidence or proof that he actually did something weird and Miss Maudie even said that when he was a kid, he was nice and polite, not weird like people say he is now.

# data[].attributes.body
Although the town has rumors of what he has done, he still remains as a person so my first impression of him was a mystery, curiosity. He could've done all the actions but at the same time couldn't. He is my eyes is just a suspicious person at first.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impressions of Boo Radley was really creepy. Based off of what the townspeople say, he stabbed his mom with a pair of scissors and he never comes out of his house which is really suspicious. Also, Jem and Scout are scared of Boo Radley which makes the reader think that he must've done something weird for them to be afraid of him.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of Boo Radley was very mysterious. We have never seen the character in the book, and the reader doesn't know what he is like at all. This also leads to curiosity. Combined with the rumors that are spread around Maycomb, we might feel scared about this character, since it is mentioned that he stabbed his mother and comes out at night doing evil and non human actions. When I first read about him, thought such as "Are those rumors really true?" "Perhaps he isn't that bad of a person and the rumors aren't true?" came to my mind.

# data[].attributes.body
The name Boo Radley seemed a bit spooky and cryptic at first, but when I read further, he was still used in lots of stories, but he wasn't that creepy anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
Jem describes to Dill, in the first chapter, the features of Boo Radley and he makes Boo seem un-human.
"There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face; what teeth he had yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he drooled most of the time" (Lee, 10)
On Page 16, one of the characters says that he almost died eating the pecans on the school side of the fence because they were poisoned by Boo Radley.

# data[].attributes.body
My first impression of Boo Radley was creepy but that was because of the rumors. He is very mysterious and because he considered different than the normal in Maycomb, he is embedded into creepy stories hence, the first impression of him being creepy.

He's a very mysterious guy that nobody really knows about. He is physically excluded from society in general.

Since there are people like Miss Stephanie Crawford in Maycomb rumors would be passed around. Miss Stephanie gossips a lot, which allows the whole town to hear the latest rumors. That is why there are rumors about Boo Radley.

# data[].attributes.body
- He comes out only at night and wanders around the neighborhood
- He stabbed his mom in the leg with scissors
- He lives off of rats and other animals

# data[].attributes.body
I think that since he supposedly never comes out of his house and that his parents don't like to talk about him, he likes to appear to his town as very mysterious and creepy, and doesn't want people to mess with him and instead be scared of him.
