| To Kill a Mockingbird | Trying to Save Piggy Sneed | |
| Nickname | Jem, Scout, and Dill call Arthur Radley by his nickname “Boo.” | There were so many reasons for calling him “Piggy,” I wonder why one of us didn't think of a more original name. |
| Isolation | Boo Radley is exiled in his house. | |
| Lack of speech | Boo Radley had not spoken to anyone in years. | |
| Frightened children | Radley pecans “lay untouched by the children: Radley pecans would kill you. A baseball hit into the Radley yard was a lost ball and no questions asked.” |
. . . he lived with his pigs—it was just a pig farm, there was no farmhouse, there was only the barn.
I can't imitate his sound; it was awful, it made all us Front Street children scream and run and hide. When the terror passed, we couldn't wait for him to come again.
But the piggiest thing about him was that he couldn't talk.
