Answer:
The story of the flood can be found in many ancient nations' mythology. Here will be given some of the striking similarities between versions of this story from The Epic of Gilgamesh and from The Bible.
Firstly, the flood was sent as a punishment for people's sins and misbehavior. One man was informed about the disaster; in The Bible it was Noah, in the Gilgamesh it was Utnapishtim. Both men built an ark containing many compartments and only one door. All animal species were brought on the boat. Although the flood didn't last the same amount of time in the two stories, its consequences were the same: the water covered the ground and the ark passengers were the only ones left alive.
Also, both boats landed on a mountain peak and both protagonists sent birds to check for nearby land.
Finally, both man offered sacrifice after the flood was over.
Of course, these are only some of the biggest similarities between the two stories. After more careful reading of the stories, one will surely be able to find few similarities more.
I hope this helped.
So this passage in question is chapter 23 pg 304
Leading into what he says, jem explains to scout that there are four kinds of folks, which leads them to talk about their family's background leading to the conversation of learning how to read and write where scout goes on and tells him "no everybody's gotta learn, nobody's born knowin'. That walter's as smart as he can be, he just gets held back sometimes because he has to stay out and help his daddy. Nothin's wrong with him. Naw, jem, i think there's just one kind of folks. Folks."
Which leads us to Jem saying "thats what i thought, too when i was your age. If there's just one kind of folks, why can't they get along with each other? if they're all alike, why do they go out of their way to despise each other? Scout, I think I'm beginning to understand why Boo Radley's stayed shut up in the house all this time...its because he want to stay inside."
My interapation of this is that Jem means the he thought that the trial wasn't equal. The thought that the world isn’t as good as he thought and believed. The Tom Robinson’s trial made it clear which made Jem come upon this relization. That the staying inside maybe meant he (boo radley) maybe was scared it may not be a very pleasant world, not fair and judgemental towards him
Hope this helps :)
