 * CHAPTER 5 **
 * 1) Miss Maudi is described to have an okay relationship with the kids. She makes the best cakes in the neighbourhood and loves to give. Miss Maudi Atksinson kindly provides her lawn for Jem, Scout and Charles to play on, but with rules and boundaries. The kids don’t have a close relationship with Miss Maudi but Scout seems to be closer to her than the others, ever Jem and Dill excludes her from their plans. She was a typical Maycomb lady because she was a widow, who worked in the flowerbeds with men’s coveralls. She’s the type of women that admires everything that grew in God’s earth and she is very religious.
 * “for a while, and on pain on being called a girl, I spent most of the remaining twilights that summer sitting with Miss Maudi Atkinson on her front porch”
 * “Jem and I had always enjoyed he free run of Maudi’s yard if we kept out of her azaleas, but our contact with her was not clearly defined. Until Jem and Dill excluded me from their plans”
 * She was a widow, a chameleon lady who worked in her flower beds in an old straw hat and men’s coveralls.”


 * 1) Scout asked Miss Maudi one afternoon if Boo Radley is still alive. She believed that he died and they stuffed him in the chimney. Miss Maudi explained to her that he was still alive it’s just that he would not come out of he’s mysterious looking house.


 * “ Miss Maudie settled her bridgework. ‘You know old Mr Radley was a foot-washing Baptist”
 * “Foot washers believe that anything pleasure in a sin”


 * 1) Scout believes that Dill Harris told he biggest lies. He would have done this to make himself look important.
 * “Dill Harris could tell the biggest ones I ever heard. Among other things, he had been up in a mail plane seven times, he had been to Nova Scotia, he had seen an elephant, and his granddaddy was Brigadier General Joe Wheeler and left him his sword.”


 * 1) Atticus did not want his children to play in the Radley’s household. Reasons being Atticus will think that his kids will make fun of Boo and he does not want them to be involved in their business.
