Aurthur Boo Radley helps them 2 times throughout these chapters. First, when Dill, Jem and Scout were escaping the Radley's yard Jem's pants got caught on the fence and he left them there. Later during the night Jem went back and found that Boo Radley must have mended them back and then folded them on the fence for Jem to get them(78). The second time Boo Radley helps them is when Miss Maudie's house catches on fire. When Scout wasn't paying attention Boo Radley put a blanket on Scout because it was very cold outside(96). I think Boo Radley did these things because he is lonely. He is even more lonely now that his mom has died. I think he wants friends but most people won't give him a chance because of what he has done. One thing I found confusing was how Scout didn't notice the blanket being put on her shoulders. Boo Radley seems like an old, grungy man but he did very nice things for the Finch's. One literary element is foreshadowing because it shows how Boo Radley isn't as bad as they thought.

Boo Radley has played a very important and also very serious, major character in these chapters. Boo Radley,at least we are pretty sure, is the one who mended Jem's pants, puts things inside the tree for Jem and Scout, and he also gives a blanket to Scout during the fire. Boo radley mended Jem's pants because there was a hole in them. Scout, Jem, and Dill were trying to get Boo Radley to come outside, but in there way of trying to escape the fence of the Radley's, Jem's pants got stuck in the fence. When Jem went back to get them he found them mended up, not well, but still mended and folded as if whoever did this expected Jem to come back for them. Also, during the fire Jem and Scout were told to stand in the Radley's front yard and wait there. They were so focused on the fire that Scout did not see Boo Radley come up behind her and put a blanket around her. (p.96) I think that Boo might be doing this, because the kids wanted to talk to him, and also for the fact that he might be getting lonely by himself in that house.
4.One thing that was confusing was, why did Boo give a blanket to Scout.
5.ONe theme is appearance vs. reality because everyone thinks that Boo is an awful guy but he is actually very kind and respectful.
6.Foreshadowing because Boo appears again.

Arthur "Boo" Radley, helps the Finch kids a few times in the chapter. The first time, when Dill, Scout, and Jem, are running from Mr. Radley, after he starts shooting at the Finch kids and Dill because he thinks he hears a black person. Jem's pants get stuck to a fence, and he has to take them off and run. When Jem goes back to grab them later, they're all stitched up, but not well, which means they weren't done by someone who's good at it. The second time was when Miss Maudie's house was on fire, and when Scout is distracted Boo puts a blanket on her because she's cold. I think he did this because the rumors aren't true and he's just a genuinely nice person locked up in his house for some reason. I think the fact that anyone would want to talk to him, or be interested in him, made him happy, so he wanted to be nice to them. Which is why I think he's the one who leaves the gifts for the kids in the tree.
This chapter shows more appearance vs reality because it shows that although Boo seems bad, really, he's a good person
I didn't find anything confusing
"The old fire truck, killed by the cold" on page 92 is personification.

In chapters six thru eight, Boo Radley helps Scout and Jem by sewing Jem's pants and leaving them by the fence. The second time Boo Radley helps Scout by putting a blanket on her when Miss Maudie's house catches on fire. I think Boo Radley helps Scout and Jem because he likes them and wants to communicate with them somehow. This relates to the theme appearance vs. reality because Scout and Jem think Boo is crazy and murderous, but Boo Radley is actually nice. What I found confusing in chapters six thru eight was when Jem lost his pants and when the fire started. The theme appearance vs. reality shows in these chapters when Boo Radley leaves things in the tree for Scout and Jem, Boo Radley fixes Jem's pants, and Boo Radley puts a blanket on Scout's shoulders. A literary element in chapters six thru eight is foreshadowing. I think that all the nice things that Boo Radley has done for Scout and Jem will affect the story.

Boo Radley helps the Finch kids a few times. First, he fixed Jems pants. While running, Jems pants got caught on a fence and ripped. Jem left them there and came back and they had been sowed up because Arthur "Boo" Radley fixed them. Second, during the fire at Miss Maudie's, Boo sees that Scout is cold so he puts a blanket around her. He also did that to comfort her. I think Boo did these good deeds because he knows that those kids are good kids and he wants to show his kindness to them. He also might want to throw out his bad reputation and show people that he isn't a bad person. Going to the theme of appearance vs. reality , everyone things he's a bad person but he just did good deeds and showed he's a very kind person.
4. I didn't find anything confusing in these chapters
5. an example of appearance vs reality in this chapter was everyone judging Boo saying he was a bad person but he showed how nice he was by doing those good things for Scout and Jem
6. An example of foreshadowing in this chapter is when Boo comes outside to do those good deeds because that could mean that he is changing and will start coming outside more and interacting more.

Boo Radley helps the Finch children more than once in the story. On one occasion, Boo sewed Jem's pants up for him from when they got caught on the fence when Jem was trying to escape the Radley house after Nathan Radley fired his shotgun. Also, Boo gave Scout a blanket when she was standing outside n the cold because of the fire. On page 96, Atticus says, "Boo Radley. You were to busy looking at the fire you didn't know it when he put the blanket around you." I think Boo tries to help the children because it's sort of his way of communicating with them. Since Boo doesn't come out much, he probably gets lonely sometimes and just needs someone to talk to. I feel like this is appearance vs. reality because people think of Boo as some kind of crazy monster who has secluded himself from the world, but in reality, Boo is actually making an effort to communicate with people and help out. Things seem to start to be falling into place, but I'm still wondering why Nathan Radley filled the knot-hole with cement.

Arthur "Boo" Radley helps out the kids by sewing Jem's pants after he tore his pants running away from the Radley house. Jem was running because Nathan Radley shot his gun. Jem found the pants folded nicely folded and sewn (page 78). Boo also helped Scout when she was watching the fire at Miss Maudie's home. She was cold, and he came up to put the blanket on her, but he disappeared before she noticed (page 93). Boo might have helped the kids because he knows they are trying to communicate with him and he could be lonely or wants friends. This coordinates with the theme of innocence vs. reality. Everyone thinks that Boo is some crazy guy who hurts people. In reality, he is kind and cares about other people. I understood this chapter pretty well; I didn't find anything confusing. A literary element I discovered in these chapter was "The shadow stopped about a foot beyond Jem" (page 71). This is a personification because shadows don't really stop. A personification is when you give human actions or feelings to a non-human creature to thing. A theme I found was the injustice of humanity. The people of Maycomb automatically assume the worst in Boo, when he is nice. It does injustice to humanity because people should assume the best in others, but in this book, people assume things too quickly.

Boo Radley helps the children in one way by sewing up Jem's pants. His pants had been in a tangle when Jem was getting out of them. He just couldn't seem to get them loose. They had also been folded them across the fence. They were there waiting for him as if someone knew he would be coming back to get them. The second way Boo Radley helps the children is that he gives Scout a blanket when Miss Maudie's house is on fire. He must have been watching Jem and Scout and realized that they were cold so he just decided to give them a blanket. Other people saw this happen to Scout but Scout doesn't even realize it herself. She didn't realize that there was a blanket on her shoulders until Attics had asked where she had gotten it. I think Boo Radley helps them because he is actually a really nice person and doesn't want people to think that he is really bad anymore.
4) One thing I found confusing in these chapters is that it says they got five baskets of earth. Is earth just dirt?
5) Appearance vs. reality with Boo Radley. People still think that he is mean and that he is a scary person but is quite the opposite. He shows again that he is actually a very nice person.
6) Simile, Scout says that Miss Maudie's house looks like a pumpkin. She says this when Miss Maudie's house was on fire.

Boo Radley helps the kids several times threw chapter 6 threw 8. Like when Dill and Jem sneaked out and when they heard the shot gun go off both of them ran for there lives and jumped over the fence but Jem's pants gets stuck on the fence and he loses them. Later Boo Radley goes and unlooses his pants and mends them. Also Boo Radley draped a blanket on Scout. Atticus, Jem, and Scout found out who it was but they kept it with there selves. Boo Radley helps the children a lot because the children respect Boo and the Radley's family and keep everything to there selves and Boo helps them because there innocent kid and do no wrong. Appearance vs. Reality is in this because the see Boo Radley as a bad easy mean bloody person but in reality he's a really nice person and cares for the Finches.
3)in chapter 7 and chapter 8 it talks about how someone welded Jems pants and how someone draped Scout with a blanket.
4)I don't get why Boo Radley would drape Scout with a blanket.
5)good vs. evil because the good part about this chapter is that Boo Radley is a nice person in reality and helps a lot and the evil is that who would burn down Miss Maudies house but the good thing is that she really didn't like her house any way so she's going to build a small house for her self.

Boo Radley helps the Finch children by sewing Jem's pants together and untangling them from the fence the first time he helps them. (p. 78) The second time is when he puts a blanket on Scout to keep her from freezing in the cold. (p. 95) He helps them by saving Jem from serious trouble and saving Scout from possible frostbite and death. This plays into the theme of appearance vs. reality a lot in the story because it makes us wonder now whether Boo Radley is as mean as he seems he is or wether he is just been misunderstood this whole time. I think he helps them because he has taken an interest in them because he leaves things in the tree for them, helps them out with the things mentioned above, and he laughs when Scout rolls into his yard by accident which means that he has been watching and taking notice of them. I didn't find anything confusing about this chapter. Irony because we expect Boo Radley to stay the same as he always has been but, we actually see know that that may not be true.

Boo Radley gives the Finch's a blanket, mends Je's pants, and he also leaves little prizes for him in the tree whole. He gives them a coat because he worries about them not only getting really cold, but possibly catching a cold. The, he also mends Jems pants when they get snagged on the fence. He also left little gift in the tree to brighten their days and to make them happy. I think his behavior coincides with Appearance vs. Reality. He appears like he's a creepy guy who lives alone, but he really cares for the wellbeing of others. I think he does these deeds because he can't just go out and interact with people, so he tries to help and get to know them from his house.
4. I don't understand why she thought people should get on their roof's.
5. Appearance vs. Reality----You would think Miss Maudie is devastated that her house burnt down, but she's happy because she will now have a bigger yard for gardening.
6. Motif-cycling of bad school years

Boo helps Scout when there is a fire at Miss Maudie's house. He puts a blanket on her shoulders and she doesn't even notice until Atticus asks her whose blanket it was (page 95). I think Boo helps Scout in this event because he wants her to know that she has someone looking out for her in times of trouble in the community. Boo also helps Jem out when his pants get stuck on the fence and he has to leave them there. Dill and Jem are trying to escape the Radley's yard because he heard Mr. Radley's gunshots. He needed to get out of there as soon as possible, so he had to leave the pants snagged on the fence. Boo helps out by sewing Jem's pants, folding them, and putting them on top of the fence. I think that Boo helps Dill because he wants Dill to know that the Radley's are meaning him no harm. I think that these two examples show the theme of appearance vs. reality. It shows that Boo seams like the mean and trouble making person. In reality, he is nice, caring, and thoughtful. I found the part on page 73 when Miss Rachel said that she would strip poker Dill Harris confusing. An example of racism in these chapters was when Mr Nathan said that the other shot was waiting for the next sound made by a nigger or dog. This shows how often this word is used in the average day of a white person back then. Another literary element used in these chapters is personification when Scout says that the second grade was grim.

A couple occasions in which Arthur “Boo” Radley helps the Finch children are these: first he sews up Jem’s pants and he also gives a blanket to Scout when they were waiting outside and it was so cold. First when he lost his pants is when they were running away from Nathan Radley when they were sneaking into the yard looking for “Boo”. As they were running away Nathan was shooting them at them. Jem got stuck in the fence and pulled his pants off to get away so he wouldn’t get shot. He kept on running and left his pants there. The next night Jem went and got his pants very late in the night to see that they were folded and re-sewn waiting for him. The other time is when the two kids were waiting outside when the fire was burning down Mrs. Maudie’s house. They just stood there freezing like crazy. They watched the fire unfold and eventually went back to their house. A little bit of time Atticus realized that she was wearing a blanket. They were all bewildered and had no idea how it got there. The reason that we know that both of these are Boo is because the first time, Nathan was shooting at them so we know it is not him, and the wife never does anything and is about to die, so it has to be boo. The other time there was no one else to put the blanket on because they are at the Radley gate so no one else can do it. Also there is appearance vs reality because he seems really mean but he is actually doing these nice things.
3). When they realize that a blanket has been put on her shoulders (pg 97)
4). Nothing was confusing
5). There is appearance vs. reality when we think that Boo is this terrible scary person but he has actually done all these nice things.
6). An example of a literary element is when Boo does these nice things they will eventually figure out that he is nice so that is foreshadowing.

1. Throughout the story "Boo" Radley helps the children on numerous occasions. For example when Scout, Jem, and Dill were in the Radley's backyard trying to get a look at Boo Radley when Arthur Radley fired his shotgun because he though an African American was in his back yard when it was actually the children. On their way out their backyard, Jem's pants got caught on a fence. In fear of being shot, Jem took his pants off and they were able to escape. Later that night Jem decided to go back for the pants so that no one would know the children were there, only to find someone had sewed the hole in his pants and folded them neatly next to the fence. We see this when Jem says "When I went back, they were folded across the fence... like they were expectin' me" (Harper Lee 78) Another example was when Miss Maudie's house was on fire and the children were standing by the Radley's house watching. They were so cold and while Scout was distracted, Boo Radley put a blanket around Scouts body without her even realizing it! (96) I think he helps them because first off, he is not anything like what people think he is in all the rumors. Another reason why is because I think Boo Radley is lonely. He doesn't come out of the house ever and seeing the kids playing games about his life humored him. I think he just wanted to show that he wasn't what everyone thinks he is.
2. I'm just confused on how Scout didn't notice somebody putting a blanket on her.
3. Theme: Appearance vs. Reality because the children still believe that Boo Radley is this bad guy who killed his mother and did all this nasty things. In reality, he has actually helped the children on numerous occasions and isn't what everyone thinks.
4. Literacy Element: Foreshadowing because Mr. Radley fills the tree hole up with cement and I think Boo Radley was the one filling up the whole with all those presents.

2. “And something else—“ Jem’s voice was flat. “Show you when we get home. They’d been sewed up. Not like a lady sewed ‘em, like something’ I’d try to do. All crooked. Its almost like—“
“Someone knew you were coming’ back for em’” (Lee 78)
There are two different instances in these chapters where Boo Radley helps the Finch Children. First, as you can tell on page 78, Boo Radley sews up the pants that Scout left behind. When he was jumping the fence, the pants got hooked. He was scared, and left the pants there. When he came back for them, they were already fixed. Second, during the fire Boo Radley put a blanket over Jem’s shoulders. Jem was too busy watching the fire and didn’t see Boo right behind her. (96) I think that Boo does this because he knows that the kids are obviously interested in him, as he sees them playing the Radley’s outside. I think that he is truly a good and nice person who just likes to be kept to himself. I think he does these actions out of the kindness of his heart, and to show the kids that he is not this evil man everyone says he is. This relates to the theme appearance vs. reality. This is because it appears that Boo is such an evil, mean guy who doesn’t care at all about these kids. In reality, Boo Radley is actually a nice guy who just likes to be kept to himself. There is nothing wrong with this, he is just quiet.
4. One thing that I found confusing in these chapters is why didn’t Scout turn around when the blanket was being put on her? Didn’t she feel it?
5. A theme that stood out a lot in these chapters is appearance vs. reality. This is because it appears as if Boo Radley is such a bad guy, but in reality he has such a kind heart, and just likes to keep to himself.
6. Metaphor: “I saw him go stalk white.” He didn’t actually turn that color, this is just a metaphor. (Page 83)
