On Arthur
Chapter 5,page 50
Arthur is also known as Boo Radley.Some call him Boo Radley as he is known to be a phantom.Some of them would call him Arthur as for them he is a normal guy.The one who calls hm by the name Arthur is Miss Maudie and Atticus.I know that Arthur is a normal guy as MIss Maudie said ‘that it is a sad house.I remember Arthur Radley when he was a boy.He always spoke nicely to me,no matter what folks said he did.Spoke as nicely as he knew how’.
An example image of Arthur based on Miss Maudie opinion:
Why did i choose this picture:
I choose this picture as this guy looks normal.He wears simple clothes.His face expression show that he is not fierce or evil.His face shows how polite he is.I know that he is kind as he tries to talk to Miss Maudie as polite as he knew.This means that he had no harm to others.Some people with other opinion may have mistaken him wrongly.

You said that his face shows how polite he is. I disagree on that because how do you know that he is polite? Does it mean that just because he does not look fierce or evil, he is polite. I can also look fierce but I also can be polite. I can also not look evil or fierce but I’m very rude.

Well,you are right.Still,you must see the body language.This men body language is not in a rude way.It is also not in an evil or cruel way either.

To Nissa: You cannot judge a person by its body language or looks. So i agree with Raihana.

Its not in judging but its in seeing.We can also tell by the eyes.

To nissa: Eyes is also part of look right? A people can be evil by heart yet they look so innocent.

Yes,i agree with you on that.We cannot judge people by its cover.Still,look at the way he dressed.Personality shows how a person is.Maybe i used the wrong word by describing it with appearance.

I still dont agree with you. Sometimes people where certain cloths is to make themself to innocent but acually they are not innocent. Some people wear cloths that makes them looks like hooligans but maybe they don’t really belong to that kind of person.

Mistake from your comment:
Your ‘where’ should be wear.’acually’ should be actually.Its clothes not cloths .
Well,ok..I would say that this person MAY just be polite as he look like his trying his best to look kind.It is like how Arthur reacted to Miss Maudie.’He tried his best to be as polite as he knew.’

You said ‘he tried to be as polite’ means that his ownself is not very polite so he TRY TO BE AS POLITE.

That is not what i meant.It means that Arthur was polite but he tried as to be MORE polite as he knew.

Ok.

Nissa , i dont really get what you meant by to be MORE polite as he knew ? He knew how to be polite but wanted to be more polite ? Is that what you meant ? “MORE polite as he knew” doesnt really seem to makes sense . For Eg ; This examination cost him MORE dearly as he knew .

Basically , i dont think those 2 sentences makes anysense .
Perhaps you would want to rephrase the question …

Rephrase the question?
There’s no question
‘He knew how to be polite but wanted to be more polite’ is what i meant.

Pardon me .. I suddenly thought off the track =.=
Ok i get what you mean already .
