Chapter 6-
Dill was leaving and they all were going to his house. They saw Mr. Avery, a white man, urinating outside. They wanted to go on a walk and Scout didn’t want to go and they made fun of her feminism. Jem and Dill wanted to peek in Boo Radley’s house. Scout was against it though. They spied, then went in the backyard and then they saw a shadow of a man. The man came and they all ran away and the man shot at them. Jems pants got stuck and he took them off and he kept on going. The town people saw Mr. Nathan Radley with a shotgun. They thought it was a nigro in his garden. Dill says that Jem lost his pants playing strip poker. Jem wanted to get his pants so he won’t disappoint his father, but Scout won’t let him do it.
Chapter 7-
Jem went and he got his pants. School started and it was just as bad as the first grade or worse for Scout. Jem said he never told Scout what happened that night. When he went to get his pants they were folded nicely and sown up. Someone is watching them. It’s like the person knew what Jem was going to do. In the tree there was another little gift, there was a ball of twine. They decided everything in there was their property. Jem and Scout kept on receiving gifts in the knotwhole. One day on their way home they see that the whole was cemented. Later they talk to Mr. Nathan Radley and he admits that he put the cement there, because the tree was getting rotten.
