While the two older boys push at the edges of their fears by attempting to make indirect contact with Boo‚ Scout hangs back‚ not wanting to bring the monster’s wrath down upon them. When she does get drawn into their schemes‚ she pays for it with sleepless nights. Every night-sound I heard from my cot on the back porch was magnified three-fold; every scratch of feet on gravel was Boo Radley seeking revenge‚ every passing Negro laughing in the night was Boo Radley
