Explanation:
An oxymoron is a figure of speech that relates two contradictory ideas together, like <em>falsely true</em> or <em>deafening silence</em>

<<Whenever you describe something by comparing it with something
else, you are using figurative language, that is, any language that goes
beyond the literal meaning of words in order to furnish new effects or
fresh insights into an idea or a subject. The most common figures of
speech are simile, metaphor, and alliteration.>>
This poem is full of figurative language throughout. For example, the first three lines of the poem are metaphors:
The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, " quote

Answer:
Dear Scout Finch,
I saw how you have been taking the items that I have left in the tree. I also saw how the tree was filled in. I wanted to apologize for that. Assuming you don't know who I am yet, my name is "Boo" Radley. I know that everyone is afraid of me, but I assure you, there is no reason why they should be. I may not be the smartest man in town, but I'm not mean. Let me tell you about myself. My real name is Arthur Radley. I am very nice, at least I try to be anyway. An incident happened when I was younger, and ever since then, I have been in my house. I know that children play games about me. Adults make up rumors about me, and everyone believes those rumors. Everyone is scared of me, and you all call me "Boo." I am honestly upset about this because I am all alone. I don't even get how anyone could think so low of a man. So that's it about me I guess. I wish I could go outside. But anyway, I have a request. Please tell the town about me. Let them know im not a monster. I want to enjoy the rest of my life. I want to go outside, feel the sunshine, make friends, laugh. If I tried to go and do all of those now, people would run away and hide from me. I fear I would be sent to jail or a nut house. I understand if you don't believe me, or fear to help me
I just hope that you do help me, because i want to be like everyone else.
from, Arthur "Boo" Radley
