In this passage, Harper Lee uses the motif of boo Radley to convey the theme that sometimes stereotypes limited our Expectations. Jem goes back to the Radley place to retrieve his pants he sees the hanging up on the fence, he noticed that they were sewed up all crooked. He comes to the conclusion that someone without experience had sewed them to help keep him out of trouble the same someone who has been watching the children and leaving them gifts. Jem and scout came to the conclusion that boo Radley was evil but he did unexpected things like friendliness and helpfulness that was unexpected. The message we all might take in from this is to not judge people until you know them or in other words don't judge a book by its cover.
