really seal up the tree in his yard and why does it make Jem cry?
Nathan really seals up the tree to prevent the tree from dropping its leaves on the city sidewalk, thus attracting the notice of city officials. The act makes Jem cry because he knows that Boo will never be able to leave the Radley property.
Nathan really seals up the tree to prevent the children (Jem, Scout, and Dill) from leaving presents for Boo. The act makes Jem cry because he knows that he, Scout, and Dill won’t be able to make friends with Boo, and, therefore, Boo will be isolated once again.

Who claims, “ ‘There are just some kinds of men who—who’re so busy worrying about the next world that they’ve never learned how to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results’” (TKAM, pg. 60), and what/whom is this character talking about? Discuss how Maycomb would be better or worse without men like those to whom the speaker refers.
Jack, Scout's uncle, relays this piece of wisdom about the workings of Maycomb to Scout. The quote could apply to many citizens of Maycomb, but Jack is referring specifically to Boo Radley and his family. If Boo’s father, Nathan Radley, Sr., had allowed his son to be sent to the reformatory with the other members of the closest thing to a gang that Maycomb had ever seen, perhaps Boo would have turned out to be a normal, well-adjusted adult. Instead, because his father and brother have kept him as a prisoner in his own home for decades, Boo has become a ghost of a man. As Jack implies, the reason for this virtual imprisonment relates to Mr. Radley’s preoccupations with religion. He wants to punish his son according to his own beliefs instead of society’s. The implication is that God’s laws--or human interpretations of these laws--always trump mortal laws. When the God-fearing man dies, his son, Nathan Radley, Jr., takes over as his brother’s jail-keeper. Boo is thereby not allowed contact with the people of this world because his father and brother are so preoccupied with spiritual concerns of the “next world.” Maycomb would surely be better off without men of this ilk. Their selfish concerns essentially rob Boo Radley of any opportunity to live like a normal, free-willed human being. Without a doubt, his imprisonment is one of the true tragedies of the novel.
Miss Stephanie Crawford, the town gossip, relays this piece of wisdom about the workings of Maycomb to Scout. The quote could apply to many citizens of Maycomb, but Miss Stephanie Crawford is referring specifically to Boo Radley and his family.
