To Kill a Mockingbird, last post

My rendition of the “Boo saves Scout and Jem” scene

So I wanted to show you my version of how Boo comes to the rescue of Jem and Scout while they walk home from a school pageant. The evil villain of the story, Bob Ewell, attacks the kids and Boo goes to town on him. Just an FYI, these are my son’s toys, so I tried to use accurate portrayals of each character.

Scout is actually a plastic chicken leg, but I felt it looked more the ham costume in the movie.  You can see Bob Ewell lurking behind the tree, ready to pounce on his unsuspecting victims.

 

 

 

 

To Kill a Mockingbird Legos! What the heck is Boo holding?? Suggestions, please.

The Radley home and tree.

The courthouse where Atticus has his trial.

The trial.

Ok, this is clearly Boo with the scar and bloody hands from killing squirrels. What is he holding?? A rocket launcher? What’s that big, red button? What the heck is on the ground? A headless robot? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

To Kill a Mockingbird: Boo should NOT be teaching Home Ec.

 

Boo on sewing:

 

Well, he’s certainly not winning any awards in textile arts, but Boo’s heart is in the right place. At least, this is the conclusion the children come to when they decide to sneak out one night to get a peek in the Radley’s mysterious home. Those little stinkers. Boo’s dad wakes up and starts shooting his gun, so the kids run away, terrified. How dare a man shoot at little kids? I like to think he is just an over-zealous gun enthusiast. Jem tears his pants in the scuffle to get away through the fence. He then has to run off sans britches, only in his knickers. He goes back for the pants later to find them neatly folded on the fence, and sewn. But not like a “mother sews, it’s like how we would sew”, or something to that affect. Whoa, Boo. That must some baaaad sewing. I don’t think he should be teaching Home Ec. or anything.
So was this actually Boo who sewed? Well, maybe Nathan Radley is also a sewing enthusiast. Maybe Jem sewed his pants himself and likes to spin elaborate tales. Maybe Atticus Finch sleep-sews in the middle of the night. Nah, just kidding, I’m sure it was Boo! Our friendly little neighborhood sewing watch person.

 

Who knew about Boo?

To Kill a Mockingbird: there’s abc gum and Boo can sew

To Kill a Mockingbird

Two kids do typical kid stuff, like keep abc gum in a tree trunk for later. They have a creepy neighbor name Boo, (how fitting). Besides the very significant murder trial that their dad, a defense attorney, is involved in, Boo Radley remains the center of my attention. Who is Boo? We know he can sew and go postal on anyone who tries to hurt Scout.

Stay tuned for more Boo.
