Intrapersonal part a)
I would like to be friends with Arthur Radley.(aka Boo Radley)
Arthur Radley is known to stay in hiding in his house and not show himself unless in the night. Rumors about Arthur Radley have been spreading around Maycomb town saying he is a monster, evil spirit possessed etc. He is being depicted as an outsider and everyone is afraid of being near them, isolating them, considering them as not even part of their town. He is a colored men and that the whole town is prejudice against them, hence isolating him. Arthur wants to interact with the town. However he cannot do that as he is afraid of doing something wrong and be sentenced to death, the same case as Tom Robinson.
I pity Tom Robinson as I think that he is being treated unfairly and I want to comfort him and tell the world," Why is he so special, he is too a human being". I feel that I want to befriend him to brighten up his life and make him feel that there is someone in the world who cares about him and acknowledge his existence. He has no friends I wish to be his first friend.
I also want to understand more about him. As in why he is always in hiding and what are his thoughts. In addition to being his friend, I want to be a lying shoulder to Arthur to tell me his pain and share his sufferings. And maybe I would bring him out of his house and defend him, allowing him to feel safe going out of his house.
I know that Arthur Radley is a kind and good person and hence he will be a good friend. I wish to help him in any way I can and hopefully through time, the people maycomb would start to accept him. Everything has a beginning and I would be that beginning.
