Someone inside the house was laughing. (SDH's Class)
Chapter 4: What do you make of the last line of Chapter 4?
Boo Radley had not been bothered, disturbed, or aggravated, but amused by the kids behaviour. Scout had realized this when she first ended up in the yard after the tire incident. I think this is very strange because everyone has the though: Author Radley is a horrifying person. Author did not come out of his home and bring any harm to the children, but he sat in his house and laughed because he thought it was funny. Scout did not want to fool around with Mr. Radley anymore and evident of that was when she said, “All right then, you just keep it up, you’ll find out.”

In my opinion, this last line of chapter 4 could go a different way. While it is totally possible that Boo Radley was laughing to be scary and mean, I think that the Harper Lee was hinting to a different side of Boo. I think that this laugh shows that Boo actually is human, and not someone who kills and eats raw squirrels. Evidence that Boo actually was a human is shown in the last chapter, when he asks Scout to walk him back to his house: "Will you take me home?".
