Chapter 1
The Radleys house had three doors to the south. The place wasnt a house that you wanted to break in to. The house was inhabited with unknown things that would make kids behave right for a long time.
Chapter 1:
Scout, Jem, and Dill’s fascination with Radley house began with Boo. They have heard rumors about the Radleys, as well as some truth, and their house and they want to explore them as well. They are also attempting to be brave. Dill really was the one to introduced this fascination to Scout and Jem. The house had no screen doors, the shutters were almost always closed, and there was a sad neighborhood legend that went along with the house. Dill wanted to make Boo come out of house, but Jem said that if he wanted to die he mine as well just go up and knock on the door.
Chapter one question:
scout,jem, and dill are all facinated by the radley house. they were facinated with it because of the theories, rumors, and facts told about the old run down house. Dill wanted to see if they all could lure the phantom (boo) outside of the house. Dill dared Jem to go and touch the fence of the radley house, and they all know that jem has never turned down a dare. Dill thought that by doing this that this will irritate the phantom and make him come out.
Chapter 3:
When Atticus is having the talk with Scout and say's, "somtimes it's better to bend the law a little in special cases." I think that Atticus is reffering to that if you follow the law, then you might actualy get hurt somtimes, but if you change things up then you come out happy, but only in certain situations. So sometimes it is better to, only in special cases, do what you think is right and you might actually end up with doing the right thing in the end.
Hi everyone,
I enjoyed reading your thoughts and comments about the questions that were posted. In chapter 1, I believe that Scout, Jem, and Dill had a fascination with the Radley house because it was different than other houses as Ak mentioned. I also believe, as both Mackenzie and Sam mentioned, that Scout, Jem, and Dill’s fascination with the Radley house had a lot to do with Boo and the stories and rumors that they had heard about him. In chapter 3, Sam, I think that your thought on Atticus’s comment was very good. I think that Atticus may have been saying that if you do bend the law, you may see a better outcome and that sometimes you may need to bend the law in order to do the right thing. Happy reading everyone!

Their fascination with the Radley house all started with Dill. He introduced the house to Scout and Jem. He told them lies and a little of the truth to them, he said that the house had no "screen doors" and the windows were always shut. It was a solemn neighborhood legend thing that went with the house. Boo would not come out so Jem told Dill if he wnated to die to just go knock on the door.
