They then begin to find objects in the knot-hole of a tree coming from the Radley place. The next summer, Dill comes back and they try again to get a reaction from Boo. They attempt to give him a note through his window, but Atticus stops them. On the Dill's last day in town, they try to get a peek at him and sneak onto his property, but Jem rips his pants and has to leave them. When he goes back for them, they are sewn together, as if someone knew he would come back for them. They find more things in the knot-hole, but as they try to give the who-ever is giving them stuff a note, the hole is filled. As winter comes, it snows for the first in Maycomb since 1885, anf rhe kids try to make a snowman by covering a mud pile in snow. That night, Miss Maudie's house burns down, and as the kids are outside in the numbing cold, Boo gives Scout a blanket to keep herself warm. Before Christmas, Atticus is tasked with a case about a black man, Tom Robinson. At christmas, Scout beats up her cousin Francis for calling Atticus a N***er lover, and is grounded for beating him up. Her Uncle Jack tries to tell Atticus what happened, but Scout sys not to. Scout overhears a conversation between Jack and Atticus about the trial, and how Atticus knows he's going to be beat.

Fights: Walter, Dill, Francis, Cecil (nearly), Jem

Lessons: All guests are company, you need to see from other people's point of view, Don't cuss cause its common, stay level-headed, don't fight.
