"As Mr. Radley passed by, Boo drove the scissors into his parent's leg, pulled them out, wiped the, on his pants, and resumed his activities."

This quote comes from To Kill A Mockingbird. I decided to go with this quote because the scissor scene of the kids- Jem, Scout, and Dill- creating a play about their neighbors, the Radley's had stood out to me. I thought it was a very vivid description and a wild rumor to spread around the town.

With this quote I want to take a more literal or even graphic approach about the scissors. I might play around with the idea of bloody scissors or open scissors read to cut. I want to take key words from the sentence and put them in the scissors or have them form the scissors.
