Question

What do the seven things Boo Radley leaves Scout and Jem in the knot-hole and throughout the book represent?

Here are the things:
2 sticks of gum
a foil box woven from gum wrappers
2 Indian head pennies
a ball of gray twine
2 figures carved out of soap
a whole pack of gum
a spelling medal
a pocket watch on a broken chain with an aluminium knife

Answer 1

ooh! loveee this book! okay so these represent Boo Radley's action of compassion really for his neighbors! Boo is pretty much underestimated and everyone assumes that he's this awful guy but seriously he cared a lot for Scout and Jem. It really serves as an icebreaker and a questionable relationship between them! Boo really is generous and kind.
