To Kill a Mockingbird Section Two (Jonathan Garcia)

I find it interesting that Boo Radley was originally portrayed as a crazy man who did all these horrible things, is now gaining sympathy from the kids after Miss Maudie's house catches on fire when it is revealed that he was the one that put the blankets on Scout and Jem. Something that really caught my eye in chapter seven was when the hole in the tree was plugged up, both Scout and Jem had different reactions, Scout being younger was upset but not heartbroken while Jem furious at Nathan Radley which brings me to the thought that Scout being younger is a bit more optimistic than her older brother. Another interesting point is that both Jem and Scout don't seem to know much about their father, referring to when Atticus was younger and was called the best shot in the county. When the drama of the trial soon takes place there is a sense of innocence lost by which I mean that before the kids would play around sometimes with their friend Dill, but now because Atticus is defending Tom Robinson, Scout and Jem have become targets, slowing drifting away from childhood. Calpurnia again captivates me when she takes on a somewhat greater role than just Calpurnia the cook  when she takes the kids to the colored church and lets the children experience a different culture.
