The first eight chapters of to "Kill a Mockingbird" focus largely on the story of the children trying to make Boo Radley come out. List all of the events in this story including those which show the reader that Boo actually has come out. Now write a section in Atticus’s journal on the night after the fire at Miss Maudie’s house. How would Atticus reflect on the events that have happened?

There have been a series of events between the start of the book and chapter eight involving the children and Boo Radley. Some of these include:


-When Scout is playing in the tyre and it spins out of control, resulting in her hitting the Radley house hold and someone inside laughs.
-When Dill, Scout and Jem go to Boo's house at night time and see a shadow. When escaping, Jem gets his pants stuck on wire, and upon return, they are sewed back and folded. 
-The notes and other small objects found in the compartments of the tree. These included  a ball of grey twine, pennies, soap, and a pocket watch on a chain with an aluminium knife, and tarnished medal. 
-When Scout is given a blanket after the fire by Boo. 


I woke up to the sound of yelling and shouting outside. I get out of bed and look out the window to find Miss Maudies house is burning down in flames. I quickly grabbed my coat and shoved a pair of shoes on my feet and rushed to wake Scout and Jem, helping them into their bathrobe and quickly going outside. I told Scout and Jem to go stand away from the fire for safety, and not to go back in the house, whilst the neighbours and I helped Miss Maudie to save all her furniture and belongings that we could. The fire truck arrived shorty after and stopped the fire spreading to other houses, however Miss Maudies house was burned down to the ground :(. I returned to my children to find a blanket draped over Scout. I asker her where she got it from, however she was uncertain. Jem was as well, so that made three of us very confused. It was then Jem realised whom had put it on her, Boo Radley. He continued to explain and reveal as what came as a shock to me about the presents in the tree, his mended pants that got stuck in the wire fence, and the knothole. I wanted to give the blanket back, however for some unknown reason, he told me not too.
