TKAMB: Chapter Six

Im this chapter Jem, Dill and Scout sneak into the Radley back lot and get caught by a mysterious shadow (Boo Radley). They do this out of curiosity. After they find their way back Atticus notices that Jems pants are missing. Dill covers with a lie about strip poker and they get off Scott free. Later on in the chapter we learn something new about atticus. Jem goes back to the Radley lot to retrieve his pants because he doesn’t want Atticus to find out about them being in the Radley lot. He says he does this because he doesn’t want Atticus to whip him, because he’s never been whipped by atticus before and wants to keep it that way. This teaches us yet another thing about the way Atticus parents.
