Why doesn't Scout enjoy the games as much as the boys do in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Answer 1

The Radley Game Shows that the children are still just being playful but also irresponsible and inconsiderate. They look upon the Radleys in the same way many in Maycomb do: as if they are less than human and inferior to themselves. The children don't consider if the Radleys might be listening and therefore, they don't consider if their feelings may be hurt. One of the major themes of the novel is putting yourself in other people's shoes. Methodically, Atticus teaches the children this in a Socratic way, meaning that he gives them lessons with enough information that they come to the truth by themselves. At the end of chapter 4, Scout notes she doesn't want to play the game anymore because she is obedient to Atticus and because when she fell out of the tire, she heard laughter coming from inside the Radley house. This indicates that she still has fear of Boo but it might also indicate a moment of maturation where she feels sympathy for Boo Radley.

Answer 2

Scout doesn't enjoy the games as much as the boys because she feels she is being left out due to her gender. The boys exclude her from their activities because of societal expectations about how girls should behave, causing Scout to feel isolated. This exclusion contributes to her frustration and leads her to prefer spending time with her father and their neighbor, Miss Maudie.

Answer 3

Because he feels different about the boys.

Answer 4

Jem loves Scout because she is his little sister.

Answer 5

she is like a tom boy.
