Intrapersonal (TKAM)

Who would you want to be friends with in the novel?Explain.

I would want to be friends with Boo. Being locked in his own home for 15 years and regarded as a phantom monster by the mass of Maycomb, Boo Would still be my choice of a friend. Simply because I know he harbours no evil intentions nor ulterior motives. He leaves chewing gum and many gifts in the tree for the children and still wants to communicate with them in spite of being made fun of by the children. He even saves them from Bob Ewell, and as Ming Hao had pointed out, Miss Maudie, the voice of reason,, viewed Boo as a polite boy.

Boo has a clean heart. As he has not been exposed to the evils of the world, he stays clean. Many people in society often don't show their true colours to you, on the surface, they may be the best of friends to you, but behind your back,deep down, they could be your worst enemies. People work against each other for their own selfish gains and the word friendship no longer exists to many.

But being blocked out from the world since he was just a boy, Boo does not know even about the evils of society. As we all commonly know, children are innocent creatures who mean no harm, much less a well mannered boy who only knew about being as good as he could.

Introverted he may be, weird to some extent he may be,he is not pretentious and what more can you fault him for? In fact, a friend who does not harbour any thought of harming you, or a friend who has only one true face is a friend indeed. Boo Radley would hence be my friend of choice.
