    Jem, Scout, and Dill try several ingenious ways to draw Boo out of the dreary Radley home.  They try touching the door, sneaking over at night, and even writing a thank-you note (which is intercepted by Nathan Radley).  All to no avail because they do not realize that Boo does not want to come out of the house.  Ironically, Boo does come out when the children need him most (to save them from Mr. Ewell), but Jem does not even get an opportunity to see Boo.
