In the beginning of the book, Jem and Scout are all obsessed with the idea of making Boo Radley come out of his house. “Let’s try to make him come out,” said Dill. “I’d like to see what he looks like” (Lee 13). They constantly enter the property, which would normally be annoying and even concerning to people. Why then does Boo Radley start leaving gifts for the kids, when they are doing these creepy and irregular things to him. Does he see this as an opportunity to make a friend, having lived in anonymity for his life, and if so, why is he doing it so mysteriously?

When Boo is first introduced Jem talks about the rumors about him. One being he supposedly comes out at night and looks through their windows, lurking around the house according to Jem who says, “He goes out, all right, when it’s pitch dark. Miss Stephanie Crawford said she woke up in the middle of the night one time and saw him looking straight through the window at her.” (Lee 13). Though it is just a rumor could it hold a bit of truth to it? Rumors tend to have some truth in them and later he goes out at night to leave things for Jem in the tree. So does normally go out at night?

When Dill tells Jem and Scout about Hot Steam, Scout says, "'Don't you believe a word he says, Dill'... 'Calpurnia says that''s n***er-talk'" (Lee 41). Why does Calpurnia use this racist language to describe her race? Does she think that they are a lesser race than others, or is she just aware that most people believe that?

In Harper Lee's story To Kill A Mockingbird, Jem goes onto Mrs. Dubose's Property and destroys her flowers. He was then very angry at the punishment and Mrs.  Dubose treated him badly. He says that "I cleaned it up for her and said I was sorry, But I ain't" (Lee 108). Mrs. Dubose was not treating Jem very nice by Insulting Scout on her choice of apparel and then Jem on his reading skills. She then makes the reading times longer by setting the alarm clock further back every day. This shows me to wonder why she would want the kids to come over when she could end the punishment and not have them come and read to her?

Atticus teaches his children to look at things from other people's perspectives in order to truly understand them: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb
into his skin and walk around in it” (Lee 30). Scout doesn't truly grasp this concept until the end of the book when she literally looks at everything around her from Boo's porch and his perspective. Why did she take so long to grasp this concept when it was the first one Atticus taught her and also the one that was used the most throughout the book?

The day that Cecil Jacobs was bullying Scout for her father defending an African, Scout asks her father why he is defending him, to which he responds, “For a number of reasons. The main one is, if I didn’t I couldn’t hold up
my head in town, I couldn’t represent this county in the legislature, I couldn’t even tell
you or Jem not to do something again” (Lee 86). What would Atticus's other reasons be? Is he just giving this answer to satisfy Scout?

When Dill arrives at the Finch's house after running away from his parents and his home, Scout asks him why he ran away his parents. His response was, "They just wasn't interested in me" (Lee 161). And again, later, "They kiss you and hug you goodnight and good mornin' and goodbye and tell you they love you" (Lee 162). Even if Dill didn't like his parents, was it a big enough reason for him to risk his life and go hundreds of miles without a guardian?

In the book Boo Radley was a young man that was rarely seen outside of his house. However, he took a special liking to Jem and Scout, giving them gifts and taking care of them when they needed it. Also, he protected them from Bob Ewell who attempted to kill the children, Boo then killing Ewell instead. As Scout had noticed after Bob Ewell had attacked her, " I...looked down to the street light. A man was passing under it. The man was walking with the staccato steps of someone carrying a load too heavy for him. He was going around the corner. He was carrying Jem. Jem’s arm was  dangling crazily in front of him” (Lee 267.) Why did Boo Radley care so much for Scout and Jem, even though they had never met and why would he risk the repercussions of killing Bob Ewell for children that he did not know?

Throughout the story Jem and Scout seem to be very curious about Boo Radley and want to know more about him and what he looks like. They aren't very nice to him as they don't talk nice about him and they went onto his property and tried to look into his window. However, as the story progressed Scout realized that Boo Radley was the one that was being nice to her and that he was the one that gave her the blanket at the fire and that he was the one that was leaving Jem and her presents. Then towards the end of the book he does something really unexpected where “Bob Ewell’s lying on the ground under the tree down yonder with a kitchen knife stuck up under his ribs" (Lee 305), meaning that Boo Radley did something really nice and killed someone for Jem and Scout’s safety. Why did Boo Radley decide to go so far as to kill someone for the kids after they did disrespectful things to him?

In chapter 10 of To Kill a Mocking Bird there was a "mad" dog lose around town. Atticus shoots the dog in the fog with one shot and people call him One-Shot Finch. Soon after Mr. Tate is confused why Jem is not talking and happy with his dad saying, "What's the matter with you, boy, can't you talk? Didn't you know your daddy's--" (Lee 111), Atticus cuts Mr. Tate off when he was going to say something about his past. I wonder why Atticus wanted to keep it quiet to his kids that he used to be the best shooter in town. Especially when he was around the age of Jem. Is it because he did not want his kids to be like he was with a rifle?

During the night where Scout, Jem, and Dill decided to go look in the Radley house, Jem lost his pants the fence during their escape. Later in the night Jem went back alone to retrieve the pants. However once he returned home he did not speak of his time outside. The next day he said to Scout, "When I went back, they were folded across the fence… like they were expecting’ me... Show you when we get home. They’d been sewed up. Not like a lady sewed ‘em, like somethin’ I’d try to do. All crooked¨ (Lee 59). Jem was frightened and nervous after this had all happened. I suspect that it was Boo Radley who fixed Jem's pants, meaning that he was watching the children when they ran away, or went out to follow them and found the pants. Either way, at the end of the book you learn that Boo Radley acted out of love.  Why did Boo decided to help the children after they had snuck onto his property and looked into the windows? Did he help them because he just didn't know better and wanted something to do, or did he genuinely care about Jem and Scout veen though he didn't know them?
