Best Answer

The children, Scout, Jem, and Dill, have been acting out their ideas about the Radleys in much the same way they had previously acted out stories they had read. This shows that they view the family as just a part of their fictional games. They don't see the Radleys as real people and they don't realize that their game may be hurtful to real humans behind the Radley windows. Atticus catches them and orders them to "stop tormenting that man", concerning both the notes or the "Boo Radley" game. As an adult, Atticus can see the real hurt that the game may be causing. In a quiet way, he reminds the children that "What Mr. Radley does is his own business." So Atticus has taught the children as lesson about respecting other people. This foreshadows the lesson he will try to to teach the town of of Maycomb by defending Tom Robinson. Most people today would agree that Atticus was right.

Atticus tells the children that it's not right to make a game out of someone else's life, as it's disrespectful and unkind. He believes it's important to consider things from Boo Radley's perspective and show empathy towards others. I believe Atticus is right in advising them not to play the game, as it encourages a lack of understanding and compassion for someone who is simply misunderstood.

On what page in To Kill a Mockingbird does Jem find his pants fixed?

Jem is responsible for them getting stuck as he was in a hurry to get away from Mr. Nathan Radley and his shotgun. Nathan Radley scared Jem, so he inadvertantly got his trousers stuck in the fence. But Boo Radley (he comes out of the house only at night, remember) is the person most likely to have sewn up Jem's trousers. In the book it says Nathan Radley was an awful sewer, and also that Mrs. Radley wouldn't have cared. Basically, it is supposed to be obvious that Boo Radley fixed Jem's pants.
