A Local Group of Boys Get Arrested

 By: Jayda Young

 

     On a pitch black night in Maycomb County something out of the ordinary happened. Arthur Radley, being the unstable teenager he is, started hanging out with a group of boys. The boys formed the closest thing to a gang that Maycomb has ever saw.  But on that night they did something that would change their lives forever.

 

      During the boys’ “hangout” that night, they harassed a beadle and were sent to the “State Industrial School”, along with being arrested. The boy that really stuck out was Arthur Radley. Coming from an honored family, people were most surprised by his actions, but the most shocked where his parents.

 

    Arthur’s father was heated, and marched down to town to get his son. When he heard that Arthur was getting arrested, he pleaded to the officers and begged for his son.  After promising that his son was never going to get involved with anything again, they let him loose. How is Arthur’s father  going to make sure he doesn't get in trouble? It’s not like he can lock him in the house the rest of his life.
