Chapter 6 To Kill a Mockingbird

Dill is leaving, because the summer vacation is over. Jem and Dill wanted to put the letter that they wrote to Boo Radley to the house in the night. Because if they went in the night, it would be easier to look inside the house and Atticus would not easily found out that they went to the Redley house, and if they are killed they won’t miss their summer vacation, but miss the school. So they decided to go to the Redleys house, and Scout also joined them. When Jem got to the Redleys house, he was trying to put the letter in the house, when they saw a shadow beside Jem. Coming closer and closer to him, and all Jem can do is to run as fast as he can to escape. “The shadow stopped about a foot beyond Jem. Its arm came out from it’s side, dropped, and was still. Then it turned and moved back across Jem, walked along the porch and off the side of the house, returning as it had come.” Pg.53. But Jem’s pants get tangle under the gate, so he had to take off his pant and escape. When they finally get out onto the street, they heard guns shouting in the air in the Redleys house. Atticus and all the neighbors went out and see what happened. When Atticus saw Jem and Scout, he asked Jem about his missing pant, Jem was so nervous, he doesn’t know what to answer. But Dill saved him by being punish, he said that they were playing strip poker. “Dill’s hand sought the back of his head. He brought it forward and across his forehead. “We were playin’ strip poker up yonder by the fishpool,” he said.” Pg.54. When they get back home, Jem waited for Atticus to go to bed, and then he said that he is going back to the Radleys to get back his pant. Scout tried to stop him, but she can’t. Scout was very nervous while waiting Jem to return. “I heard Atticus cough. I held my breath.” Pg.57.But at last, he did return back to the house. After that, Jem stayed really quiet.
