Chapter questions 6. Scout disapproved of Jem and Dill’s plan to look into the Radley house because Atticus had already scolded them for talking about Boo Radley. She was also still afraid of the house, and the malevolent phantom it contained. b) Mr Radley thinks that the person(s) that entered his backyard was African American, and decided to wait for them to return with his loaded shotgun. c) Miss Stephanie refers to the person Mr Radley scarred away as a negro because Mr Radley was short it was an African American. d) Dill’s explanation of Jem’s lack of clothing being due to playing strip poker nearly land them in trouble because cards and gambling were serious.

7. Jem tells scout that when he returned to retrieve his trousers from the Radley place, he found that someone had attempted to stitch them back together and had then folded them left them neatly on top of the fence. b) Yes, I think that Jem has started to change his understanding of Boo Radley. He was upset when the tree that had presents left in it was filled in and he was bewildered when he found his trousers mended. Also, the fact that Jem was silent for several days after retrieving his trousers and finding them mended shows that he was deep in thought over the incident. d) The children try to write a letter to the person who leaves gifts for them in the tree are prevented by the physical barrier of concrete filling the hole. The hole was filled in by Mr Radley who explained that it was to stop the tree from dying.

8. Scout quizzes Atticus about his visit to the Radley’s because she thinks that Boo might have killed her. He tells her that she died from natural causes and that he didn’t see Arthur there. b) The “near libel” Jem creates in the front yard is a near exact copy of Mr c)The chair was saved as it was both one of her favourite possesions and sitting on her porch and therefore easily accessed. d) They realise that during the fire, Arthur Radley snuck out and wrapped scout in a blanket.
