Scout and Jem do not really meet Boo Radley at the beginning of the novel. However, he is a central figure in their imaginations and as such, he is treated like a ghost or, as they sometimes call him, "a monster". During the first summer in the novel, they make plans to lure "the monster" out. They even compete with each other to see who can get the closest to him. Then Dill, their friend, makes up a new game, the Boo Radley game. They make up stories about his life and dramatize them like a play. None of the children think about the fact that their game may be hurting the humans inside the Radley house who can hear the children's games through their windows.
