MR. RADLEY
& THE KNOTHOLE. Sadly for the Finch children, Boo's father
solves the problem of his son's communication via the knothole by simply filling in the
not-so-secret hiding place with cement. By eliminating the knothole, Boo no longer has a
way of leaving presents for Jem and Scout, and vice versa. Mr. Radley obviously did not
approve of Boo's growing interest in the Finch children, so this was a cruel but
practical solution.
DILL
THE RUNAWAY. When Jem and
Scout discover the runaway Dill under their bed, Jem surprises Scout by informing
Atticus of the situation. Jem knows that Atticus will know what to do, and he is right.
He first tells Miss Rachel that Dill is hungry but safe, and that it would be best for
Dill to stay at the Finch home for the evening. Dill could deal with his parents in the
morning. It was a memorable evening for Dill and Scout, who innocently share her bed for
the night.
