Connections

How will the Boo Radley house connect to the story of how Jem broke his arm? This puzzles both me and Vanessa, what is the point of the story? Just discussing the lives of these kids in the south? The story behind how Jem broke his arm? Well, I predict the connection between that and the Boo Radley house will be a simple one. Earlier in the book, Jem ran and touched the house on a dare. I believe that Jem will be running to touch the house again, and will end up tripping. But Jem and Dill (who will most likely be there) and Scout won't see it that way. They will say that Boo Radley, the ghost, tripped Jem for going on his property again. That he tried to suck him under the porch where he hides, but Dill helped him out of the yard before the creepy ghost family could eat them or stick scissors into him. This is how I believe the Boo Radley House connects to the overall story (hopefully?) of how Jem broke his arm.
