"How old are you,four-and-a-half""Shoot no wonder,then,Scout yonder's been readin' ever since she was born,and she ain't even started to school yet.You look right puny for goin' on seven"(Lee, 8)This quote shows that Jem is a boy who likes to play jokes on somebody,because he play jokes on Dill's puny even it is the first time they met. "Jem gave a reasonable description of Boo:......his eyes popped,and he drooled most of the time"(Lee, 16)Jem is really afraid of Boo Rradly because he described Boo in such a terrible and scary image. Although Jem fears about Boo, he doesn't want to be laughed at."Jem threw open the gate and sped to the side of the house,slapped it with his palm and ran back past us,not waiting to see if his foray was successful"(Lee, 18)If he didn't touch the house of Boo, he will be laughed by Dill,so he did it very fast and escaped the scene immediately. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7UUs9LzlGQ
