Aunt Alexandra explains that she should stay with the children for a while, to give them a "feminine influence." Maycomb gives her a fine welcome: various ladies in the town bake her cakes and have her over for coffee, and she soon becomes an integral part of the town's social life. Alexandra is extremely proud of the Finches and spends much of her time discussing the characteristics of the various families in Maycomb. This "family consciousness" is an integral part of life in Maycomb, an old town where the same families have lived for generations, where every family has its quirks and eccentricities. However, Jem and Scout lack the pride that Aunt Alexandra considers commensurate with being a Finch. She orders Atticus to lecture them on the subject of their ancestry. He makes a valiant attempt but succeeds only in making Scout cry. from www.sparknotes.com

In chapter 5 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout and Jem meet their reclusive neighbor, Boo Radley, for the first time. They try to communicate with Boo by leaving him a note on a fishing pole, but their efforts are thwarted by Atticus. This chapter highlights the children's curiosity about Boo and introduces themes of empathy and understanding.
The children's attempt to trace the main incident in the novel (Jem's broken arm) back to its roots, leads them to wonder whether it all began when Dill first arrived in Maycomb and became their friend, or whether the real origins lie deeper in their ancestral history and the chance events that brought the Finch family to Maycomb. Their debate speaks to deeper fundamental issues on the nature of human good and evil, and the old "nature vs. nurture" debate. Dill, the new kid in town, represents an outside influence upon the children that affects them deeply, whereas the family history Scout recounts is a more inexorable pattern which existed long before the children were born. Atticus tells Jem and Scout that patterns of history, family, identity, and temperament, both new and old, help make an individual.
The children's new plan is to see Boo Radley (arthur) and they are going to make a play in which Scout is Mrs. Radley,Jem is Boo and Dill is Mr. Radley, They do it because Dill is a good actor and whatever role you give him he will be perfect he also want to find out what Boo looks like.
Nut grass is mentioned in Chapter 5 of "To Kill a Mockingbird." It is a metaphor used by Atticus to explain how deeply rooted racism is in Maycomb society.
The answer is in Chapter 5.
The Boo Radley game was created in Chapter 4 of the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee.
The dog, Tim Johnson, is shot and killed in Chapter 10 of "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Atticus Finch.
The word "edification" appears in Chapter 12 of To Kill a Mockingbird when Jem thinks that Miss Maudie's reaction to Atticus is intended for his edification. He realizes that she is indirectly teaching him a lesson about how to behave towards others.
In chapter 4 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout learns how to read with the help of her father, Atticus, and her neighbor, Miss Maudie. In chapter 5, Scout and Jem find gifts hidden in a knothole of a tree near the Radley house, sparking curiosity about Boo Radley.
We first meet Miss Maudie in Chapter 5, when Scout explains that they have an unspoken agreement that the children can play in her yard and eat her food and such just so long as they don't trample her flowers or disturb her.
In Chapter 5 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," examples of personification can be found when Scout describes the tree outside the Radley house "rambling" and the steps "groaning." Personification is a literary device that attributes human characteristics to non-human things. In this case, it adds depth to the description of the setting and creates a more vivid image for the reader.
The word 'asinine' is used in Chapter 5 of To Kill a Mockingbird when Scout narrates, "Lastly, we were to stay away from that house until we were invited there, we were not to play an asinine game he had seen us playing or make fun of anybody on this street or in this town-"
