Scout and Jem are relived from school as the summer arrives, and are reaquianted with their friend Dill who returns to Alabama. The three grow ever more curious about the Radley’s, and when Scout accidentally finds her way into the front yard of the dwelling she hears omnious laughing from within the house. Jem, in an attempt to seem brave invites his accomplices to role play the rumours their have heard about the Radley’s, however Atticus catches wind of this and warns them against this. Dill and Jem remain outwardly unphased, while Scout is very peturbed by the recent events;
” I was fairly sure Boo Radley was inside that house, but I couldn’t
prove it, and felt it best to keep my mouth shut or I would be accused
of believing in Hot Steams, phenomena I was immune to in the daytime.”

Much better. Your quotations give use some relevant information about both Boo and Scout.
Targets:
1) Always re-read and edit for meaning – I suspect auto-correct has had a bit of a play with your work here (regardless, you must check).
2) Justify your quotations, exploring word classes and how they might impact our understanding of a character.
