Some hunters say that they can smell you from a mile away. Many hunters wear all kinds of cover scents while hunting, such as raccoon urine, fox urine, also buck and doe urine.

At night the Jem and Scout hear scraping and believe that it may be Boo Radley out seeking his revenge. They would imagine him scratching on the screen and picking it apart with his fingers. "Boo was about six-and-a-half feet tall, judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that's why his hands were bloodstained -- if you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off.

Earlier on, Scout thinks of Boo as a monster. Lee writes, “Every night-sound I heard from my cot on the back porch was magnified three-fold; every scratch of feet on gravel was Boo Radley seeking revenge, every passing Negroe laughing in the night was Boo Radley loose and after us; insects splashing against the screen were Boo Radley’s insane fingers picking the wire to pieces…” (Lee 74).

When she is on the Radley porch though, Scout not only recognizes Boo’s kindness for saving her life, but realises that she had misjudged him.

In shock, his first decision was to push the kids out of the room so that he could fight off the birds himself. DuMaurier relies heavily on sensory imagery to convey the attack of the birds.
“As l leave, I know I am leaving my Best-Friend.” The floorboards creak beneath my feet. The sound pierces the dead of night, echoes throughout the landing, and fills me with terror. Oh no! Had I blown my cover? I check the door behind me, the one where the dreaded monster sleeps, listening for any warning signs that he had woken and would come flying out the door in rage.
Trees bend and buckle under the burden of Winter’s bounty. A snow hare runs underfoot, unafraid and unfamiliar with the strange creature that has perturbed his home. Birds chirp sparsely, at least those who remain. The aroma of the land is captivating, with the distinct smell of spring soon approaching and a scent of pine that lingers in the air. Each breath drawn brings a perceptible chill to the nostrils.
Foxtrot made it to A. My finger tensed over right trigger as my ears perked up like a predator listening for prey. I heard every footstep and explosion through my surround sound system. We took cover behind a wall bordering the town and I peeked over the edge. No sign of Foxtrot.
