TKAM Chapter 7

What does Jem admit about the night he went back to the Radley house to get his pants?

• When Jem arrived at the fence, Boo Radley came out of the house and gave Jem his pants

• When Jem arrived at the fence, the pants were missing

• When Jem arrived at the fence, they were sewn up, as if someone had been expecting him to return

• When Jem arrived at the fence, Nathan Radley came back outside with his shotgun and threatened him

What do Jem and Scout decide to do with the items they keep finding in the knothole of the Radley tree?

• They decide to put all of the items on the Radley's front porch

• They decide to keep the items for themselves

• They decide to take everything to school and see if they can find the person who is putting them there

• They decide to leave everything in the knothole because they know it doesn't belong to them

What happens when Jem and Scout try to deliver their "thank you note" to whomever is leaving things in the knothole?

• The letter blows away in the wind and they aren't able to deliver it

• Atticus catches them writing the letter and tells them to leave the Radley family alone

• They arrive at the tree and see that the knothole has been filled in with cement

• They arrive at the tree and find so many new items in the tree that there is nowhere for them to put the note

What is Nathan Radley's explanation for the cement in the knothole?

• There have been a lot of bugs in the area and the cement is being used to stop them from destroying the tree

• One of the other neighbors has been filling all of the knotholes in trees with cement, but he isn't sure why

• Nathan knows that someone is using the tree to leave them presents and filled it with cement to stop them

• The tree is sick and the cement will keep the disease from spreading through the tree

What is Atticus' opinion about the tree?

• Atticus tells Jem and Scout that what happens to the tree is none of their business

• Atticus agrees with Nathan Radley that the tree looks sick

• Atticus believes that the tree looks healthy

• Atticus believes the tree should be cut down because it's ugly

What does Jem start to realize in this chapter?

• Caring about the Radley is for kids and since he's starting to get older, he doesn't care about them anymore

• Boo Radley is the one who gave Scout the blanket and is leaving them gifts in the knothole

• He no longer likes to spend time with Scout because she is a girl, and he'd rather play with Dill

• He needs to be more honest with Atticus about his interest in the Radley family instead of hiding everything

What upsets Jem?

• That he is not able to thank the person putting the gifts in the knothole (Boo Radley??)

• That he will no longer receive gifts from the knothole of the Radley's tree

• That Nathan Radley was not honest with him about why he put cement in the knothole

• That he and Scout will never find out who was giving them gifts
