But, Dill’s idea gets Jem shot at by Boo Radley’s older brother Nathan. Jem looses his pants trying to escape and finds them the next day sown together and hung neatly on the fence. The kids presume it was the work of Boo. Over that same summer the kids found presents sitting in a tree hole that was in between their house and the Radley Place. The presents were obviously for them, everyday there would be a different gift until Nathan Radley blocked up the hole.

No one knows for sure if this even actually happened as Boo has been kept inside for decades now, and there is no proof which supports this rumour and the other crazy lies being spread around.

This epic adventure begins with three children’s curiousness of the Radley’s house. One day Scout, her brother Jem and cousin Dill are playing in the front yard of their house with a really old tire.

The next night, when most of the men head to the local whorehouse. Lennie is left with Crooks, the Negro stable buck, and Candy. Curley's wife came to the barn saying that she was looking for Curley, but she actually came to talk to the men and find some company and refuse to leave until the other men come home.

When she was leaving Boo Radley’s house from walking him home because he had saved her life, she noticed “to her left of the brown door was a long shuttered window. [She] walked to it, stood in the front, and turned around” (279).

In the town of Maycomb, you cannot run from judgment. For example, Boo is just a man who has not come out of his house in forty-six years, and Scout sees him as some kind of monster.

Stories went around about him, discriminating and degrading him, causing Boo to stay in his house and out of the public eye. Spreading the rumors about Boo was destroying his innocence. But as we read more of the novel, we see through Scout’s eyes that Boo is a lonely, gentle man. Boo leaves Jem and Scout treasures in the knothole of the tree in his yard. Boo covers Scout with a blanket while she stood outside in the snow watching Miss Maudie’s house burn down.
