Read the excerpt below and answer the question. neighbors bring food with death and flowers with sickness and little things in between. boo was our neighbor. he gave us two soap dolls, a broken watch and chain, a pair of good-luck pennies, and our lives. but neighbors give in return. we never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad." in at least 200 words, do you agree with scout's words in the excerpt above? have they given boo radley "nothing"? why or why not?

Scout is actually very grateful at this part of the story, but she wasn't the best neighbor. The children did not understand Boo very well and, because of it, they were harsh on him; often for no reason.

She is also grateful for being saved by boo when Ewell attacked them, but having given nothing to Boo is what bothers her.

Although you might say that the children gave Boo just the right amount of company and human interaction that he needed. Enough to keep his isolated lifestyle and enough for him to feel like he isn't the only human being in the world. When the kids were in danger, it was more than enough to drag Boo out of his reclusive way of living to help the kids, which also showed we all, and Boo himself, that he cared.

Directly speaking, though, even though subjectively Boo might have gained company or learned something from the kids, they didn't really give him anything actively.

the type of supporting detail is fact!

innocence can be defined as the lack of sin, relating it with the lack of guilt, also it can be a synonime of naivety. most people agree that sins are made out of experiences, intentionally or not, as well as you stop being naive once certain things happen to you throughout your life. so, with this explained, the chosen answers are:

when the boy saw the effects of war, he no longer viewed life as innocent.

the loss of innocence is a result of gaining experience and making mistakes.

one way to define innocence is as a lack of worldly experience or sophistication.
