scout said'As Atticus once advised me to do, I tried to climb into Jem's skin and walk around in it: if I had gone alone to the Radley Place at two in the morning, my funeral would have been held the next afternoon. So I left Jem alone and tried not to bother him.' Page 57
this is one of the example of atticus advise to scout for solving the few conflicts of her life. scout clearly have great respect to her dad and brother,while she is stunningly mature for her age.
'Thank who?' scout asked.
'Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn't know it when he put the blanket around you.'
My stomach turned to water and I nearly threw up when Jem held out the blanket and crept toward me. 'He sneaked out of the house-turn 'round-sneaked up, an' went like this!'" Page 72
scout looked very scared that Boo Radley was near but she is also beginning to realize that the mysterious man is trying to protect and befriend her not like what she have thought. Boo gains the sympathy of Scout and the reader in this passage.

INVESTIGATOR Zhi Min 17 Entry 4
Chapter5
Nut grass is also called nut sedge. It have small nutlike tuber and are often troublesome weeds. It is named nut grass because of it's tuber resemble nuts but it got nothing to do with nuts. Nut grass is called 'the world's worst weed'. It is a tough competitor for nutrients and it's roots release a substance called allelopathic which is harmful to other plants. Weed pulling is not effective for nut grass as the breakage of roots resulted in leaving it's tuber underground. New plant will then emerge quickly. Most of the herbicide have no effect against nut grass tuber and roots but only kill the leaves.
She picked up the limp sprout and squeezed her thumb up its tiny stalk. Microscopic grains oozed out. 'why, one sprig of nut-grass can ruin the whole yard.'
Opinion: Miss Maudie loves her garden alot. She could even notice a nut grass. She even swooped down a tin tube and subjected it to blasts from beneath with a poisonous substance. Miss Maudie was afraid that the nut grass would ruin her yard.

Insect splashing against the screen were Boo Radley's insane fingers picking the wire to pieces; the chinaberry trees were malignant, hovering alive.

Chap 8
Atticus notices that Scout has a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and scolds
her for straying from the one spot he told her to stay in. Scout explains that
neither she nor Jem left the Radley yard and that they don't know where the
blanket came from. They realize that Boo Radley must have slipped the blanket
over Scout while she and Jem were engrossed by the fire. Mr. Radley, his
brother, had been busy helping everyone else at Miss Maudie's house, so Boo is
the only person that could have given Scout the blanket.

Chapter 7
Jem went and he got his pants. School started and it was just as bad as the first grade or worse for Scout. Jem said he never told Scout what happened that night. When he went to get his pants they were folded nicely and sown up. Someone is watching them. It’s like the person knew what Jem was going to do. In the tree there was another little gift, there was a ball of twine. They decided everything in there was their property. Jem and Scout kept on receiving gifts in the knotwhole. One day on their way home they see that the whole was cemented. Later they talk to Mr. Nathan Radley and he admits that he put the cement there, because the tree was getting rotten.
Chapter 8
It is the coldest winter in Maycomb County since 1885, and it is also snowing. School is cancelled that day because of the snow, so Jem and Scout want to play in the snow. They're trying to build a snowman, but there wasn't enough snow. So, they went over to Miss Maudie's, who gladly gave up all of her snow; she doesn't want her plants to freeze up because of it. Soon, there is a lot more snow for Scout and Jem to build a snowman, and they did. They made it look like Mr. Avery. Atticus was very proud of Jem for making the snowman. Later, Atticus rushes Scout and Jem out of their house, and they only figure out why when they arrive at Miss Maudie's house which caught fire. Atticus pushes Scout and Jem to the Radley's yard. Without knowing, Boo put a blanket on each of them, and left. Scout and Jem didn't even realize until the whole thing was over, Atticus, Scout, and Jem went back to their house, and Atticus told them while they were having hot chocolate. Calpurnia told Scout and Jem not to go to school that day because neither of them got any sleep.
