  1. Warm Up Suppose Boo Radley is trying to communicate with someone—perhaps Scout or Jem. On the inside of the gum wrapper on your desk, write a sentence or two that expresses the message Boo Radley is trying get out. That is, what do you think he is trying to say?

  2. Archetype An archetype is a repeated pattern of character, image, or event which recurs in story, song, myth and art.

  3. Further Explanation • Archetypes are seed ideas that are engrained within the “blueprint” of man. • Archetypes are universal symbols ingrained in the mindsof human beings, and are interconnected to unfold a meaningful idea or a teaching.

  4. The term archetype is often broadly used to refer to • Stereotype—personality type observed multiple times, especially an oversimplification of such a type; or • Epitome—personality type exemplified, especially the "greatest" such example.

  5. Some archetypes you might know: • The scapegoat: The scapegoat figure is the one who gets blamed for everything, regardless of whether he or she is actually at fault.
