Monologue Boo Radley Perspective Essay
Yesterday was the first day I stepped out into the sunlight, when I look back upon my old age observation Jem and scout growing up, one thing that comes into my mind is why I didnt just step outside and play with them.I commemorate what kept me from going outdoors was the conflict between black and whites at the time , I didnt want to get caught up in on the whole the drama so I stayed indoors, now looking back I should of just faces the racism, I would of loved to spend days down at the brook swimming with the children or playing football and building snow forts in the winter. You see jem and scout they didnt have many to play with, well they had dill weed barely only in the summer and Atticuss job as a lawyer kept him pretty busy.Back when Jem and scout were low I would sneak out at wickedness and place on of my puerility pleasures in the knot hole, nothing was better than watching their faces light up when they found the gifts. I left the children gifts because I wanted them to trustworthyise that I wasnt scary or a monster, I was simply just watching oer them as a friend.I think that the children need to know the truth roughly me and they need to jibe how to look past the rumours and see the real person, I want to keep trying because I know that if I put the right thing in the knot hole that they will learn that you cant judge people until youve seen whats its like from their point of view. I dont think that anyone knows what its like to me, I dont stay in this house because I want to, I stay in this house because there s now where else for me to go.Last night I was sitting in my chair and I had this funny feeling that something wasnt quite right. I went to my window and saw jem and scout at the tree perfect(a) to run. Scout was still in her ham costume and couldnt run. Both children fell down and I saw a shadow looking over them, someone was after my kids, I couldnt stand around to watch this all go down. I knew that this person had enough anger within to consume both of the kids if he really wanted to.I ran as fast as I could and I grabbed a knife from the kitchen. The whole incident took about 8 seconds but felt like everything was happening in slow motion. I felt like every second not helping the children could be the second that Mr Ewell go to them. All I knew is that I would never forgive myself if either one of these kids lost there life because I was a trice to late.When I ran out to the road , jem was screaming and Mr Ewell was on him. He dropped jem to the ground and ran over to scout and tried to pick her up so he could agony her too, but that wasnt going to happen as at that moment I grabbed him and before I knew it I stabbed him-he was dead on the road with a knife stuck into the pit of his stomach but the murder that I had just committed was the last thing on my mind, I picked up jem and carried him to his house when we were in jems room and scout was telling everyone what had happened. Then scout said two actors line that made everything worth it. She said hi boo these two words meant so much to me as I now knew that jem and scout now know that I am a good person who would always be looking after them because they were now apart of my life. They were my kids.It took me a few years but I finally realised that I couldnt spend the continue of my life indoors how ever by the time I realised this, jem and scout had all ready moved on from Maycomb county.What really triggered me to realise this was the event that I didnt want to miss the next opportunity to meet people like the finches, if only I had the courage back then that I have now maybe then I would have been able to face the racism in maycomb and maybe even been able to give the children my childhood pleasures myself, face to face and above all maybe jem scout and I may still be friends or would of kept in contact over the years.After my dad had died I was eternally grateful as I would no longer be tortured into staying indoors f or the rest of my life but I found out later that my brother who was cruel if not crueler than my father will be looking to keep my fathers look to to keep me indoors and away from everyone. He tortured me chaining me to the bed post so there was no way I could escape. With little food and pee I could feel myself growing weaker, Nathan my so called brother waited till I was near demise and force feed me, starving me near point of death and feed me so I wouldnt die. Nathan would say to me death is too kind for a man like you authur , feeling miserable, weak, and abandoned every night i would look out my window and prey to the brightest star knowing that someday my mother and I will be together again, hoping, just hoping that someday life would be so kind, kind enough to let me go so I can be with my mother once again.
