In Chapters 7 and 8, Jem reveals to Scout what happened the night he went back to get his pants. He tells Scout that the pants are nicely folded over the fence and sewn. They believe that the whoever put the pants like that must have expected for Jem to come back. Jem was very shaken up by this. Jem is young and can still be freaked out by things like these even if he is Scout's older brother. He is still allowed to have fearsj which includes the Radleys. Also in Chapter 7, Jem and Scout continue to find yarn, carvings of themselves and gum, etc. in the knot hole in the tree. They want to find out who keeps leaving them these objects so they leave a note in the tree, when they go back the next day Mr. Nathan puts cement in the tree because he believes that the tree is rotting. I don't really understand the whole concept of him leaving things in the tree, I don't get what the point of all it is, to scare the kids? Also in Chapter I think it is so adorable when Jem and Scout discover snow for the first time ever, it is so cute how they make a snowman of Mr. Avery! There is also a fire at Ms. Maudy's house where the whole neighborhood helps out including
Scout and Jem. Scout cold and doesn't even realize that someone puts a blanket on her who is
Boo Radley! Scout does get very scared about this and "[her]stomach turned to water and [she] nearly threw up" (pg.72). I would get scared to that a stranger put a blanket on me too especially after all the stories she has heard.
