Chapters 4-6: Explain how Scout’s affections shift in these chapters. Whom does she grow closer to and to whom does she grow apart?Explain how...

CHAPTER 4.  When the school
year ends, Dill returns for the summer, and the Finch children renew their friendship
with him. Scout particularly becomes closer as they play-act their daily Radley Family
routines. 

CHAPTER 5.  Scout
grows much closer to her neighbor, Miss Maudie Atkinson, during this chapter. She also
has a frank talk with her Uncle Jack who, after spanking her, realizes the error of his
ways.

CHAPTER 6.  Scout
realizes in this chapter that she is growing apart from her brother, Jem. He is maturing
faster than she, and she does not understand all of his actions--particularly the
retrieval of his lost pants on the Radley fence.

Scout
begins to show her maturity in these chapters. She admits to having feelings for Dill.
She comes to realize that although Miss Maudie is an adult, she is also her friend,
and Scout knows that she will not betray her trust. She manages to convince Uncle Jack
that Cousin Francis deserved the beating he took because of the insults he made against
Atticus and his children. When Jem tells Scout that Atticus' trust is highly important
to him, she does not understand how this can outweigh his fear of returning to the
Radley house in the middle of the night. She sees that his own maturation is beginning
to draw them apart.
