To Kill a Mockingbird

In this chapter, the school year has steadily and boringly passed by for Scout and now summer is approaching. On one of her famous runs homes, she saw tin foil poking out of the trees by the Radley place, she took the tin foil, discovering it was gum, and continued running home. When her brother Jem returned home as well he saw her chewing the gum and told her to spit it out immediately. The last day of school they found two coins in the tree, Jem said they needed to find the own, and would do so by the start of next school year. Dill arrived back in the Finches lives the following day, and they started a new game (thanks to Jem trying to prove he wasn't afraid of anything) about the Radleys. The game was supposed to be a secret, until their father arrived home without them seeing him. He scrawled at Jem to not be cutting up today's paper and put the scissors back. This made Scout very uneasy, even more so than she already was, but she kept playing with her brother and Dill, regardless of her anxiety.
