Boo Radley put the blanket on Scout’s shoulders when he saw that she was cold. Harper Lee included this moment because it shows how Boo is a shadow. During the fire Scout narrates “ … I became aware that I was slowly freezing where I stood… By dancing a little I could feel my feet”(80). It can be inferred that when Boo saw her dancing to keep warm, he went outside and quietly but a blanket around her shoulders. He did it so quietly that Scout did not realize she had a blanket until Atticus pointed it out. This quietness and subtlety shows his role as a shadow in the town of Maycomb. Throughout the mayhem to come, he will make rare and quiet moves, striking only when necessary.
Do you agree with my prediction? Why or why not?
In the book Boo Radley puts a blanket around Scout. This is a moment that shows him being kind and isn't as mean as the kids think. Harper Lee included this in the book because she wanted the reader to understand he does care. This is a significant moment because the way his character is portrayed
