In chapter 6, Dill & Jem ignore Atticus' request to stay away from the Radley house unless they were invited. Instead of doing as asked, the boys and Scout go about wondering around the Radley house and end up runing into an unpleasant sittuation. And as before, their curiosity leads them into a deeper hole than they were in before.
"Dill stretched, yawned, and said altogether too casually, "I know what, let's go for a walk.(Lee, 68)""
"the chinaberry trees were malignant, hovering, alive."

""Says he's got the other barrel waitin' for the next sound he hears in that patch, an' next time he won't aim high, be it dog, nigger, or--Jem Finch!""
"At first I thought it was a tree, but there was no wind blowing, and tree-trunks never walked."

"He lay down, and for a while I heard his cot trembling. Soon he was still. I did not hear him stir again."
"Had Jem's pants been safely on him, we would not have slept much anyway. Every night-sound I heard from my cot on the back porch was magnified three-fold; every scratch of feet on the gravel was Boo Radley seeking revenge, every passing Negro laughing in the night was Boo Radley loose and after us; insects splashing against the screen were Boo Radley's insane fingers picking the wire to pieces."
