    1. I defend it, because boo had his chance to impress Nathan and he ruined it. He did some stupid stuff and showed everybody that he shouldn't get a chance to come out and be able to talk to people. He is a creepy man and i dont think that if he looks in windows he should get the chance to talk to the kids.

    2. I defend it, because if he has taught his 1st grade daughter to read his methods are definitely good! I think he does a really good job and he should keep it up.

    1. I dispute and defend it because Boo is tired off being alone and wanta to talk to someone and because nathan is probably worried boo would hurt the kids.
    2.I defend it because atticus is a lawyer and he knows alot and has them read lawyer books and stuff

    1. That Boo Radley was not out to hurt them and didn't mean to scare them away.
    2. He didn't want the kids to make fun of him.


    At least I think that is how you want us to explain this. :/

    i dont think he will fold them up because Mr. Radely was trying to shoot them because they thought he was a nigger in the dark so it was good the writter wrote about them....... atticus was trying to tell the kids that the Radelys did what they wanted and that that was there personal life

    Group C
    I srongly dispute Nathan Radley cutting off communicatiion between Boo and the childern by cementing the knothole shut. I believe that contact wiht the outside worl, no matter how
    limitted it is good for the soul and mind and by keeping Boo away he is riuning both.

    2 I defend Atticus's teaching style because he never hands his childern the answers to their problems he makes them work at it and figure things out for themselves. This will make them less dependent on other peole in later life.
