Jem and Dill plan to give a note to Boo inviting him out to get ice cream with them. They try to stick the note in a window of the Radley Place with a fishing pole, but Atticus catches them and orders them to "stop tormenting that man" with either notes or the "Boo Radley" game.

He is upset with them, takes the note and tells them to stop pestering him.
Jem and Dill get the idea to write a note to Boo Radley asking him to come outside and tell them what he does inside his house. Furthermore, they write that they will buy him an ice cream and will not hurt him. They put the note on the end of a fishing pole and try to attach it to a window shutter on the side of Boo's house.
Atticus.
Atticus suggests that Dill should be allowed to stay with them for the summer to keep him safe and out of trouble. He believes that having Dill around will give him a structured environment and positive influences. Additionally, Atticus feels that being with Scout and Jem will offer Dill stability and a sense of family.
nothing special, he just makes sure Rachel H. is aware that Dill has been found and is spending the night with them. (sleepover). But before the go to sleep they give him food (bread I presume).

In "To Kill a Mockingbird," Dill and Jem plan to lure Boo Radley out of his house using a fishing pole to attach a letter. They want to see Boo because they are intrigued by the mystery surrounding him and want to meet him.
In chapter 8 Atticus learns about Jem and Scout communicating with Boo Radley through the knothole. Atticus tells the children not to tell anyone that they had seen and been in contact with boo.
Dill persuades Jem to do lots of things, maybe that he should not be doing, such as touching the Radley house. He does give Jem male companionship during the summer though, which is good. But, he does influence Jem poorly towards tormenting the Radleys.
Among Black citizens, Atticus has become a hero. They give up their seats as a sign of respect for the children's father. It is the Reverend who has to nudge the children to stand when Atticus leaves the courtroom. They had not yet learned their father was so deeply respected in town.
The kids find out that Atticus had been aware of what happened the night Dill lied about Jem losing his pants playing strip poker when they are discussing the events of the previous night in Atticus' office. Atticus tells the kids that he knew the truth the entire time and that he was not fooled by Dill's lie. He goes on to explain his reasoning behind not telling them the truth that night. He says that he wanted to give them the opportunity to tell him the truth on their own and that he was not going to force them to admit the truth if they didn't want to. Atticus also says that he wanted them to learn from the experience and to understand the consequences of lying.Atticus' explanation reveals to the kids that he was aware of what really happened that night and that he was not fooled by Dill's lie. This shows the kids that Atticus is wise and that he trusts them to tell him the truth even when it is difficult to admit. It also teaches them to be honest and to accept responsibility for their actions.
The children, Scout, Jem, and Dill, have been acting out their ideas about the Radleys in much the same way they had previously acted out stories they had read. This shows that they view the family as just a part of their fictional games. They don't see the Radleys as real people and they don't realize that their game may be hurtful to real humans behind the Radley windows. Atticus catches them and orders them to "stop tormenting that man", concerning both the notes or the "Boo Radley" game. As an adult, Atticus can see the real hurt that the game may be causing. In a quiet way, he reminds the children that "What Mr. Radley does is his own business." So Atticus has taught the children as lesson about respecting other people. This foreshadows the lesson he will try to to teach the town of of Maycomb by defending Tom Robinson. Most people today would agree that Atticus was right.
