Chapters 14 and 15: Explain what Dill means in the last line of chapter 14. Is this surprising to you? (Daisy)

At the end of Chapter 14 Dill mentions that Boo Radley does not have anywhere to run off to implying that he may not have any friends or family. During the chapter Dill arrives to the Finches house after he had run away from home. Scout and him were talking about family and how people need someone who cares for them. As Dill was talking he says, "The thing is, what I'm tryin' to say is-they do get on a lot better without me"(162). This quote explains part of why Dill ran off because didn't have anyone who cares about him. When Scout ask why Boo didn't leave Dill responds and is trying to say he doesn't have anyone to run off too. Dill thinks nobody would want to be alone so that would be the only reason why he didn't leave Maycomb.

In this scene Scout observed that there is no reason to be afraid of the Radley place. This represents how she is maturing as a person since...
