Chapter 5
Jem and Dill are becoming really close which makes Scout feel left out so she decides to spend time with someone else. In fact she starts to spend time with one of her neighbors, Miss Maudie Atkinson, a widow with a talent for gardening and cake baking and who was a childhood friend of Atticus’s brother, Jack. She tells Scout that Boo Radley is still alive and it is her assumption Boo is the victim of a harsh father, a “foot-washing” Baptist who believed that most people are going to hell. Miss Maudie adds that Boo was always polite and friendly as a child. She says that most of the rumors about him are not true. She says he wasn’t crazy as a child but because of the way he is living he probably is now. Meanwhile, Jem and Dill plan to give a note to Boo inviting him out to get ice cream with them. They try to stick the note in a window of the Radley home with a fishing pole, but Atticus catches them and orders them to “stop tormenting that man” with their notes or the “Boo Radley” game.
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 still 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.

miss maudie said: 'foot-washers believe anthing that's pleasure is a sin .did you know some of em' came out of the woods one saturday and passed by this place and told me me and my flowers were going to hell?' pg 49 line 22.
foot washers are seem as overwhlemed aggresive believers in batist and think that having pleasure in god's outdoor is a sin. miss maudie said they came out of the wood and scold her it probaly meant that the foot-washers came out of the blue and they would delibrately find sinners in 'god's outdoor' and reprimand them of their sin.
jem said said:' i'm telling' you the last time ,shut your trap or go home-i declare to god you're gettin' more like a girl every day!'
jem think that scout was being to noisy and said 'you're gettin' more like a girl every day!' meaning that he thinks that girls are talkative and naggy.he scolded scout as he thingks that scout is a worrying too much and scared.
scout said: matches were dangerous, but cards were fatal
scout meant that even though playing matches have real life danger such as causing fire outbreak or hurting yourself but cards are more fatal as adddiction cannot be just healed with time like injuries, they are also the major cause of the major mistake you would make in your life.atticus who is her father would not want that as every parent love their child and prevent them from harm especially those that could not be 'healed' which are addictions.
