Chapters 4-7

Perspective: Jem

Dill, Scout, and I decided to make a game from Arthur "Boo" Radley. But Atticus caught us and he thinks it's better that we don't try to mess with him. When we went up to the house, Scout saw chewing gum in the Radley's tree. On our second attempt, Atticus caught us again and we got another warning from him. We kept being persistant so we sneaked into the Radley's yard once again. All of a sudden we heard a gunshot and it was from Mr. Radley's gun! While in a rush to get away, I lost my pants! That darned wire fence. In the middle of the night, I made my way back to the house to get my pants back and I found them fixed! This was eerie to me. We then found something new in the same knothole it was soap carved into little people that looked like me and Scout. Scout and I decided we wanted to thank this mystery man for the strange gifts in the tree only to find that it was cemented shut by Mr. Radley. We're so fascinated with this man that we know very little about besides the dark tales we hear about him. When we asked Mr. Radley about the knothole his reply was that the tree was about to die. That didn't see quite right to me. I asked Atticus what he thought about this and he said he must of had a real good reason to do so. I sat alone on the porch thinking and wondering. Scout came out to see me and thought I was crying. No way I was crying on that porch! I'm a sixth grade boy.
