Intrapersonal Assignment - Diary Entry By Arthur "Boo" Radley

Dear Diary,

I am really happy. Managed to save Jem from nearly gettin' killed by Bob Ewell and became friends with Scout. It was real dark that night, decided to go out for a while while father was asleep. Then, I heard some shuffling noises and heavy footsteps coming from a distance. Could tell that it was not far as I heard the sounds loud and clear. I turned and saw three shrouded figures in the distance. One was short and seemed to be unproportionally fat, the other was tall and skinny while the last one was tall and big in size. I looked carefully and realised that it was Jem and Scout and they were about to get harmed by that big man! He pounced on Scout and strangled her, she was too weak to push him away or struggle. I ran forward as fast as I could and bung him away as hard as I could. When I found that he was no moving any more and that Jem and Scout were out of danger, I ran back to the house, too embarrassed to be seen by the siblings...Had always wanted to be their friends but never had the courage. Saw them quite a few times through the window playing games and even found them coming to my front door and running away before I could welcome them in...Even so, father would never let me go any where near the door. Managed to get out once before when Miss Maudie's house was flamin' in the winter. Brought out a small blanked and put it over Scout's shoulders as quietly as possible, hoping that she would not find out. They are really nice looking kids but I just preferred to keep things to myself...Quite a few times I heard rumours about people calling me "Boo" Radley and gave me alot of horrible stories which was totally not I was like. It makes me sad to think that people would picture me in such a monstrous manner. If only father did not lock me up in this gloomy house everyday...Anyways, I'm happy that I got acceptance from Scout, but I really hope that everyone else in Maycomb country would understand.

Why is there so much discrimination in this town...

I wonder if it's like this in other places....
