I've spent all my days workin' for the Finches and the Bufords, an" I moved to Maycomb when you daddy and your mamma married." https://nowcomment.com/documents/194649?scroll_to=1813662 https://nowcomment.com/documents/194649?scroll_to=1813662 Fri, 17 Apr 2020 12:09:23 -0400 Her reasoning is that you don't always have to say everything what you know. She had no reason to speak white people talk in her colored church just like she had no reason no speak colored people talk in white households. https://nowcomment.com/documents/194649?scroll_to=1813640 https://nowcomment.com/documents/194649?scroll_to=1813640 Sun, 19 Apr 2020 23:39:47 -0400 After this conversation, I think Scout gained even more empathy. She was starting to put together the pieces of Boo Radley's activity. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1753504 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1753504 After she learned that Boo Radley was covering her up with one of his own blankets for Scout's own good, she must have changed her perspective on Boo's heart at least a little bit. He was doing good for her and not at all being the monster that the kids heard he was. I believe this is another form of her gaining some empathy for people other than herself.

Scout and Jem grow very confused and suspicious of why Mr. Radley decided to fill the hole when the tree is clearly not dying. https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1753472 https://nowcomment.com/documents/186751?scroll_to=1753472 A common theme throughout the book has been a fear of the Radley Place. The kids find it very suspicious when cement has covered the hole that they have found many small treasures in. When they find out the tree is not dying, they get very suspicious and fearful of why Mr. Radley would want to cover the hole up. They suspect that he must know more about the small treasures left in the tree than Scout and Jem know.
