Sewed Pants

Author's Note: This is short response to the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. I am analyzing the scene in chapter 7 when Jem gets his pants stuck under the fence at Boo Radley's house and why it is important in the book.

When Jem goes back to retrieve his pants that were stuck and ripped in the fence at Boo Radley's house he finds them stitched back together and folded neatly over the fence. They were on the fence as if who ever folded them knew Jem would be back for them. I believe that this was an important scene in the book because it shows Jem and Scout that Boo Radley knows what they are doing to his house but isn't necessarily mad.  It shows that he is not harmful and mean but also that he is still not comfortable coming out of his house yet.
