3 main ideas of chapter 5

Dill and Jem become closer..... Scout is left out and finds herself an outcast because she's a girl.

Miss. Maudie steps in and takes Scout under her wing. She models what makes a woman and helps Scout appreciate being a girl....

The boys continue to play pranks, hoping to get Boo to come out..... they get caught (by Atticus), who tells them to leave Boo alone unless they're invited. That's what the boys were doing all along, but they weren't doing it the right way.
