Also he thought it would hurt his feelings because it was making fun of Boo. Yes i think Atticus is right because it is rude to play a game about someone you don't know. Also it will amke him feel like no one likes him if he found out they were playing a game about him.

R. Alejandro Per.1
1.) “Miss Maudie hated her house: time spent indoors was time wasted.” Miss Maudie Atkinson is a widow. She works in her flowers to pass the time. She loved everything that grew form the earth. She is a typical women of Maycomb because she works in her flower bed and talks to the children. The children though she was nice they like her very much.
2.) “His name’s Arthur and he’s still alive” Miss Maudie tells scout that Boo is alive. She told scout this because she said that she has never seen him be carried out. This compared to what Scout already believes because now this kind of supports that he thinks that he is alive.
3.) “Dill Harris could tell the biggest ones I ever heard” Dill told perhaps told lies because he dint wasn’t people to know his live back at home. He is maybe embarrass because he doesn’t know what his dad really does. Also because his mom always work because he has no money.
4.) “You stop this nonsense right now, every one of you” The reason that Atticus for why he told the children not to play the Boo Radley game was that they shouldn’t make fun of his life. Yes I think that Atticus is right. It wasn’t right for the children to “experience again” the story. That was Boo’s personal life.

period 1
1)Miss Maudie Atkinson is a nice person.The children though she was nice they like her very much because she let them play in her yard. She also talked to them and gave them advice.She is a widow and she is very religious.
2)Miss Maudie Ankinson told scout that boo is a good person who just doesn't like to interact with people.This is very different than what she thought before because she thought boo was dead and that he was a bad and mean person.
3)I think that he lies because he is ashamed of the way he lives and doesn't want people to make fun of him or feel bad for him.
4)Atticus tells the children that it isn't nice to play a game about someone elses life because he might think you are making fun of him and that you dont like him.I think he is right in telling them this.They really should not play a game about his life because they dont really know what went on in his life.

Khamilton p4
1.Miss Maudie is a woman who lives in the neighborhood of the Finchs’. ”Miss Maudie hated her house,” so she was usually on her porch. She let the children play in her yard if they didn’t get into her flowers, and they never really talked to her until Dill and Jem stopped letting Scout play with them. She isn’t a typical Maycomb woman, considering that she gardens in mens overalls. The children are very fond of her because she lets them play in her yard and eat her scuppernongs.
2. Miss Maudie tells Scout that Mr. Radley is alive, and that he just stays in his house all the time because he wants to. Scout finds this hard to believe because of all the other stories she has heard over and over. She always thought there was some big eventful story to why he was such a hermit.
3. Dill most likely tells Scout and Jem these crazy lies because he has nothing to tell them at all. Most kids who don’t have a lot try and say things to other people to make them feel better about themselves.
4. Atticus gives very good reasons for the kids not to play their “Boo” game anymore. He says that its rude and embarrassing to Mr. Radley, and he’s totally right. He doesn’t want his kids and his self to get embarrassed by their game.
