Question

When Jem returns for his pants later, what does he find?

Answer 1

When Jem returns for his pants in Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," he discovers that they have been mended and folded neatly. This surprises him because he had left the pants in a state of disrepair after fleeing from the Radley property. The act of repairing the pants signifies that someone has been watching over him and cares for him, further deepening the mystery surrounding Boo Radley and the connection between Boo and the children.
