“I am a rock
I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain"

Quote/Text Evidence:
"Inside the house lived a malevolent phantom. People said he existed, but Jem and I had never seen him. " (Lee 10)

This shows how Boo Radley never comes out of his house and never talks to anyone.

"We're so sorry skeletons
You're so misunderstood
You only want to socialize"

Quote/Text Evidence:
In the story, Boo Radley attempts to communicate (or socialize) with Scout and Jem by putting little things in the knothole of the tree at the edge of the Radley lot.  He puts in many items, including gum and a pocket watch.  (Lee 44-81)]]> 2016-09-29 16:59:30 UTC https://padlet.com/02aaboelata/knp232jc8bz0/wish/127331003 Song #5 - Every Breath You Take - The Police 02aaboelata https://padlet.com/02aaboelata/knp232jc8bz0/wish/127331813 Lyrics:
"Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you"


Quote/Text Evidence:
"The old house was the same, droopy and sick, but as we stared down the street we thought we saw an inside shutter move. Flick. A tiny, almost invisible movement, and the house was still." (Lee 19)

Boo Radley watches the children as Jem touches his house and as Scout and Jem watch the fire, and also saves Scout from Mr. Ewell, which matches the lyrics of this song.]]> 2016-09-29 17:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/02aaboelata/knp232jc8bz0/wish/127331813 Song #1 - Alien by Britney Spears 02aaboelata https://padlet.com/02aaboelata/knp232jc8bz0/wish/127331844 Lyrics:
"There was a time I was one of a kind
Lost in the world out of me myself and I
Was lonely then like an alien
I tried but I never figured it out
Why I always felt like a stranger in a crowd
Oh that was then, like an alien"

Quote/Text Evidence:
"The Radley Place was inhabited by an unknown entity the mere description of whom was enough to make us behave for days on end." (Lee 7)

Boo Radley doesn't fit in with the rest of society. He is called an "unknown entity" by Scout. The song is about being left out and lost, just like Boo was.

In the quote, Atticus thanks Boo Radley for saving the children from Mr. Ewell.  Just like the Lyrics of the song, he will save us with a mighty hand, every man, woman, and child.]]> 2016-09-29 17:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/02aaboelata/knp232jc8bz0/wish/127342879
