Hey guys. I'm really glad my tests are over! Overall results are not too bad:) Anyway, today i will be talking about Chapter 4 of TKAM! HAHAS. These chapters are about the children finding mysterious gifts in a tree, what's more interesting is the person who is giving out free toys...ANd also, Scout was in the Radley's yard for the 1st time!(Accidentally)
1) Scout and Jem found several things in the knot-hole:Chewing gum..two scrubbed and polished pennies. One possible 'benefactor' is definetly not Nathan Radley.He was known to be very strict and stern, someone who can't stand nonsense.(Furthermore, it was proven he wasn't as he later on cemented the knot-hole)
You might ask why did Nathan cemented up the knot-hole. Well, Nathan claimed that "the tree's dying", that's why he has to "plug'em with cement when they're sick" VS THE TRUTH: Evidence that Nathan is lying(pg 69): Conversation b/w Jem and Atticus. Atticus says that he "don't think so. Look at the ;eaves, they're all green and full, no brown patches anywhere"
When the real reason for cementing the hole was very likely because Nathan saw a frinedship b'w Boo and the children building up. Seen by the letter Jem and Scout wrote to thank the person who was giving them all the gifts(Boo) Hence, Nathan wanted to cut off all human contact bw Boo and the children. nathan is being cruel as he still sees Boo as a disgrace to his family for what he has done in the past, Therefore wanting to carry on the ounishment their father gave to Boo.
2)Scout in Radley's hse: Scout, jem and Dill were rolling tyre. Jem ' was offended by scout contradicting him on Hot steams". thus, gave Scout a Hard push on the tyre. UNfortunately, the tyre with scout riding on it, rolled to the Radley's yard.Jem was terrified and started screaming at Scout, asking her to get out of there. Reslut: "someone inside the house was laughing"
SIGNIFICANCE: It was Boo who actually Laughed. This is of great significance because Boo was not what Jem and Scout imagined to be, a monster. When in fact, he is a person who enjoys laughter in life and is easly amused by the children's antics.He is very different from his brother. In fact, it seems as though he is alot more likable than Nathan and a lot less frightening than what the children perceived him to be.
3)CHAPTER 7: Jem growing up.
Eg(pg 67) jem said"i don't get, i just.." Yhis is an example of Jem growing up as he was beginning to process more thoughts in his mind, beginning to see the light that Boo was not a monster as he imagined to be( refer to chpt 1 and 2), now that he more or less concluded from the incident of the sewn pants and the gifts in the knot-hole.
ANother eg(Pg 69): Jem" had been crying ; his face was dirty in the right places" He cried for the 1st time in scout's memory. this is hence an evidence of Jem growing up as he is affected and moans for a loss in Friendship. We see now that Jem treasures friends and that is a very mature thinking.
4)CHAPTER 7:Jem's pants(relating to Boo's character)
WHen Jem went back to get back his pants, 'they were folded across the fence..like they were expecting me" this is very likely that Jem's pants were sewn by Boo. This shows that Boo is a very domestic person as he has mastered chores to take care of himself and he is kind and considerate. He knew that Jem would be worried about his pants and would want to get them back, He made the task of finding that pants easy by hanging it over the fence, whereby it's easy to see and locate.The pants sewn in a manner that was not neat, all the more suggested that Boo had made a lot of effort and painstakingly tried to put things right for Jem. it made the incident, all the more heart-warming.
All right. that's all guys. CYA nxt time:)
