Jem, Scout and Dill have spent so much of their time thinking or ways to see Boo. It has become an obsession for them. By the time summer rolls around again, they are bored with the same old thing, so Jem decides to make up a story based on what they know of Boo.
Jem is still trying to prove that he is not afraid of Boo. He wants to look like he is brave. Dill looks up to Jem. Scout is getting bored with the two boys, but reluctantly gives in to them, and they start acting out the events that they have been told about Boo's life. At first, the kids seem to have fun, but Atticus catches them and tells them they are not to do this. The kids still act out the play, but their hearts in it as much.
The whole thing about Boo, for the children, is the unknown. They only hear what the towns gossips about. They are curious kids and like a mystery. They are smart and this lets them use their imaginations. Boo is one of the most important characters in the story, and Harper Lee introduces his story, right from the beginning. She grabs our attention with the mystery surrounding Boo's life. Jem, Scout and Dill, are just as curious. They think that by making a a play about his life, they might come to understand him more and maybe make him come out of his house. They have no idea just how important Boo will be in their lives.
