Chapter 1 Both Boo Radley from ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee and the man in ‘What’s He Building Down There’ by Tom Waits show a strange person. In my opinion, both men do not like to make a friend with other people. The book tells that Boo Radley has never gone out. (Lee, 14). Similarly with the man, he has never tried to socialize with other people. (Waits). So both of them just want to enjoy their “own life”, they do not want to care about other people. On the other hand, Dill, one of character in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee has the same characteristic with man’s neighbour in the song ‘What’s He Building Down There’ by Tom Waits. Both of them often feel curious. Dill wanted to know who Boo Radley is, he tried to make Boo Radley come out from his house. (Lee, 16). And analogous to the song, the neighbour wanted to know what his neighbour is building. (Waits). All of those paraphrases show us that both of them always want to know what the other people do.

BONUS: 1. He is building a coffin or an underground room. 2. Boo Radley looks like a monster. He is six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks. His hand is full of animal’s blood, because of his foods are raw cats and squirrels. He has a long jagged scar in his face. His teeth were yellow and rotten. His eyes popped and he drools most of the time.

Chapter 2 When I was in 10th grade, I had got a trouble with Mr.Joko, my physic teacher. It happened because when he had been explaining about the lesson, I had not paid attention to him and I had been doing my history homework. Mr. Joko became so mad, because he felt that I had not respect to him. He sent me out from the class. After school ended, I told my parents about my problem. My parents blame me and they asked to apologise. In this case, my experience is different with Scout’s experience. My teacher was so mad, because my fault. But Scout’s case is not Scout’s fault. Scout’s problem just about the misunderstanding. This problem happened because Miss Caroline has not known Cunningham’s background. Scout’s experience is worse than mine, because a problem, which has “root problem” from misunderstanding cannot solve easily.
