When looking for comparisons, you are looking for metaphors or similes. For example, “The sun is a hot bowl of lava.” That is a metaphor. The sun is being compared to lava. OR The sun is as hot as a bowl of lava. That is a simile.
There can also be direct comparisons such as: Susan’s work of Art mirrors that of da Vinci. So as you read, look
for examples such as these. Then you need to ask how this shows us a specific point of view. Are the comparisons done in a positive light or no?
I say it's B but I might be wrong
Hey Gary! :)
Your answer would NOT be A because Boo hasn't been out of his house in about 15 years, the children have never even seen him, so there is no way that he could threaten them.
It is B because :
Scout, Jem, and Dill are afraid of Boo because they hear some pretty bad stuff about him. They've heard that he stabbed his father with scissors, and Boo hasn't been out of the house for nearly 15 years. All of this makes Boo seem pretty scary.
So, your answer is B) They have heard rumors that he is dangerous.
It isn't C because Atticus actually tells them NOT to be scared of Boo, because Boo has never done anything wrong.
It isn't D because the children are in fact extremely scared of Boo.
So, once again, your answer is B) They have heard rumors that he is dangerous.
~Hope I helped, Gary!~
