to kill a mockingbird
what does boo leave the kids??
Scout and Jem find chewing gum, grey twine, girl and boy dolls carved out of soap, a medal, a watch and pennies. The children in the neighborhood of Maycomb are afraid of the Radley House, because they fear that Boo Radley is some kind of monster and the house's trees are poisoned.
The first use of imagery, is the description of the Radley house. This is probably one of the most vivid uses in the story. "The Radley place jutted into a sharp curve beyond our house. Walking south, one faced its porch, the sidewalk turned and ran beside the lot. The house was low, was once white with a deep front porch and green shutters, but had long ago darkened to the color of the slate grey yard around it. Rain rotted shingles drooped over the eaves of the veranda; oak trees kept the sun away. The remains of a picket drunkenly guarded the front yard, a 'swept' yard that was never swept where Johnson grass and rabbit tobacco grew in abundance." Just by this imagery, you can picture what the Radley place looked liked. The descriptions of the house and yard, tells you who the house once was, but has now become. This is just one example of imagery in the story.
