Question: To Kill a Mockingbird Jem's description of Boo Radley!?
I don't have my copy with me so i can't check if this quote is in the book or just the movie!. I think it's in the book but I'm not sure!. Any help would be amazing!.
Jem: Well, judgin' from his tracks, he's about six and a half feet tall!. He eats raw squirrels and all the cats he can catch!. There's a long, jagged scar that runs all the way across his face!. His teeth are yella and rotten!. His eyes are popped!. And he drools most of the time!.

Thanks! (:Www@QuestionHome@Com

That is from the book, Chapter 1, page 17!.

P!.S!. That is not the EXACT language that Jem uses!. All the descriptions are there, but he doesn't say "Well!.!.!."!. Scout actually just states the way that Jem was describing Boo, if that makes sense!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
