to Kill a Mockingbird," Boo Radley, who has been a recluse for the last fifteen years, captures the imagination of the children. In Chapter 5, Jem and Dill attempt to send a message to Boo by tying it to a fishing pole, then casting it toward his window. However, Atticus catches them and they are forbidden to go to the Radley place without being invited. But, in Chapter 6, on a dare Jem and Dill decide to peep into the Raley's house window. When a shot rings out, Jem hastens to safety so quickly that he catches his pants upon the fence and must remove them. Later, he bravely returns for his pants, which Boo has mended. This episode alters Jem's perception of Boo Radley as the kindness of the bizarre captive of fifteen years touches Jem.
These episodes further the theme of maturation in Harper Lee's novel. The Radley place affords the children a chance to prove their bravery. And, when Atticus scolds them, they display character by not talking back to him. Also, they begin to become concerned with people's feelings who are outside their immediate circle.

<span>The correct option is option “C”. “I do not mind fishing, as
long as I don’t have to bait the hook” is the sentence in which the clause is
used as an adverb. The options “A” and “D” cannot be the right answer since in
both the cases the clause is modifying the subject and thus makes it an
adjective. So these two options are obviously ruled out. In case of option “B”
the clause is acting as a noun and so this option also gets cancelled out. </span>
This passage allows us to see into the inner struggle and loneliness of the character. This is revealed in the phrase "interior gloom" while he faces the "open lattice" but he was not looking at anything at all. He was engrossed in his own thoughts and feelings of a closure or an ending of life implied in the phrase "the fire had smouldered to ashes." The surroundings was so silent and cold as revealed in the words "damp, mild air," "cloudy evening" and "so still."
