TKM+Chapter+5

Chapter 5: -Scout becomes Ms. Maudie's friend after Jem and Dill start leaving her out. -She's friendly and welcoming of new people. -She's also very "in the know" because she had a lot to say about other people. -She serves as a mother figure for them and is the female version of Atticus. -Ms. Maudie was saying that Mr. Radley is an extreme Baptist and his whole life was based on it. -He is very strict with his religion so he doesn't have a lot of tolerance for anybody with different views. -The overall message is that he tried to show others that his religion should be what everyone practiced and he sort of wanted to influence everyone. -Ms. Maudie says that Atticus is "the same in his house as he is in the public streets". -His personality is constant and he doesn't change who he is around other people. -He has a close and mature relationship with his children. -Scout, Jem, and Dill write a note to Boo Radley saying that if Boo comes out and tells them what he does in his house, then they would buy him an ice cream cone. -They stick it on the windowsill using a fishing pole so they wouldn't have to go up to the house. -Dill and Scout were on the lookout and used a silver dinner bell to alert Jem if anyone was coming. -Atticus finds them and starts screaming at them that they should respect Boo's privacy.
