Find one quote from the novel To Kill a Mockingbird that portrays Jem wanting to meet Boo Radley.

In Chapter 5, Jem and Dill write a note to Boo Radley asking him if he will come outside sometime and tell them what he does inside his house all day. They also mention in their note that they will not hurt him and will buy him ice cream if he comes out. Scout walks outside and sees Jem and Dill plotting how they will get the note to Boo Radley. Scout asks what they are doing, and Jem says,

"We are going to give a note to Boo Radley" (Lee 62).

Scout is horrified, and Jem mentions that they looked yesterday and found a loose shutter on the side of Boo's house that they might be able to drop the note into. Dill then explains to Scout the contents of the note they wrote to Boo Radley. Jem portrays his curiosity and willingness to meet Boo Radley by writing him a letter and attempting to drop the note in Boo's window.
