Boo Radley from ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee and the man in ‘What’s He Building Down There’ by Tom Waits give us an impression of a mysterious man doing something abnormal. In my opinion, both of the characters are doing something that is very strange and freaky and they do not want others to know and disturb. "Boo was locked in the courthouse basement" (Harper Lee, 14) and The man who hides in the basement of a building and never socialize with other people (Tom Waits). This shows that both of them are doing or scheming something that is unusual for people to do. We don't know for sure whether they are doing something that is insane or not, but we know for sure that the habits of not socializing with other people is what makes us that he is doing something abnormal.

Bonus : He is building a wooden doll with complex mechanism inside it so it can move by itself which is designed for killing people.

The worst trouble i ever got with my teacher is that i was caught for not doing the work in the accounting class for a full week because i couldn't understand what the teacher saying at all, but she accused me for not doing it because i was lazy, then she asked me to see the principle with her after the class is over. Compared to the trouble Scout got with Ms. Caroline, mine was a lighter trouble since mine was just because of a false impression on me, but in Scout's case, both Scout and the teacher had argued clearly unlike mine where i just kept silent and follows her rules.
