a boy's touch

In the summer of 1933, when Jem is nearly ten and Scout almost six, a peculiar boy named Charles Baker Harris moves in next door. The boy, who calls himself Dill, stays for the summer with his aunt, Miss Rachel Haverford, who owns the house next to the Finches’. Dill doesn’t like to discuss his father’s absence from his life, but he is otherwise a talkative and extremely intelligent boy who quickly becomes the Finch children’s chief playmate. All summer, the three act out various stories that they have read. When they grow bored of this activity, Dill suggests that they attempt to lure Boo Radley, a mysterious neighbor, out of his house.
Arthur “Boo” Radley lives in the run-down Radley Place, and no one has seen him outside it in years. Scout recounts how, as a boy, Boo got in trouble with the law and his father imprisoned him in the house as punishment. He was not heard from until fifteen years later, when he stabbed his father with a pair of scissors. Although people suggested that Boo was crazy, old Mr. Radley refused to have his son committed to an asylum. When the old man died, Boo’s brother, Nathan, came to live in the house with Boo. Nevertheless, Boo continued to stay inside.
Dill is fascinated by Boo and tries to convince the Finch children to help him lure this phantom of Maycomb outside. Eventually, he dares Jem to run over and touch the house. Jem does so, sprinting back hastily; there is no sign of movement at the Radley Place, although Scout thinks that she sees a shutter move slightly, as if someone were peeking out.

Poem:

Jem, a  boy, who calls to the finches, Stays for summers imprisoned in a house. 

That’s what people suggested. 

They were just scared,  a little boy’s touch turning them into a Phantom. 

Does Jem Really? 

He moves the shutter slightly to see the old, dead man standing with a pair of scissors,  Jem couldn’t stay inside, he had to help him.

He peeked out, to see if there was any sign of other movement. 

He sprinted to the man in haste, fascinated by his sight around him he touches he man to lure him back to the house and ran back to the house.

Jem saw through the shutter that the dead man wasn’t coming.

And the shutters shut.
