My name is Jem, you would know me as Scouts older brother. Scout my little sister is very annoying, but im worried about her. Im afraid the freak down the street, Boo Radley, is going to capture her. There are many stories about Boo, but the main one is that he is locked away in his house by his father. He has never been seen since he is little he is in his mid thirtys now. I am worried because I can tell Scout has been hiding something from me lately, and I will figure it out one way or another.
I finally figured out what Scout has been hiding from me, because one day she came home chewing a huge wad of gum and had a couple pennys. Right when I saw it I told her to spit it out right now, and asked her where she got it from. She told me it was inside the tree in the Radley`s yard. I could not believe my ears. Everyone knows that if you touch Boo Radleys tree or anything you are expected to be killed by him. I told Scout that she really should not have done that.
On the last day of summer, Scout and I went to Ms. Rachels house to say our goodbyes to Dill for the summer. On our way there we pasted by the Radley's house, and I got stuck in between the fence to their backyard. I ended up having to take off my pants to get out of it and carry on in my shorts. Then suddenly I heard a sound that was familiar to a gun shot. Later that night I had a long fight with scout to go get my pants back over at the Radley`s place. She said she would tell Atticus on me if I did. But I needed them so I went anyway. When I entered their backyard I saw my pants, but they wernt still caught on the fence. The wierd thing about the pants was that they were folded neatly, and they were sewed nicely like they were brand new. I had a very weird feeling about this so i ran over got them and left, and I figured I would think about this when I was safe away from the Radley house.
