Chapter Questions **Chapter 6 ** a. Scout disapproved Jem and Dills’ plan of looking in at one of the Radley’s window, as she was scared that something was going to happen and that they will not be able to escape. Fear of danger and infringement of premises. “We can’t get out of here so easy” b. Nathan Radley knows that the intruders in his garden were white people. “If anybody sees a white nigger around, that’s the one”. c. Miss Stephanie assumes that it was a Negro who entered the house. There is a feeling of racist implication, and we can see this in her language. “Be it dog, nigger, or- Jem Finch”. d. Dill explained that they were playing strip poker and that he won the pants of Jem. Atticus quires this explanation as, firstly, he has never head them playing it before and, secondly, they are a bit young for these games. “Ive never head of ‘em doing that before”
