Chapter 14/15 Explain what Dill means in the last line of chapter 14. Is this surprising to you? (Rohan)

When Dill and Scout are talking in he last scene of chapter 14, the subject of Boo Radley comes up and Scout asks “Why do you reckon Boo Radley's never run off?” (Lee 192) Dill replies, and says “Maybe he doesn't have anywhere to run off too” (Lee 192). When Dill says than, he is saying that Boo doesn't know anywhere to run off to. Earlier in the chapter, where Dill explained his story, he says he had come back “home”. Dill is saying that he had his real home, and his other home which was a place he could go to and trust that things would be better there. Boo Radley, on the other hand does not have that kind of place, because he has never been far enough away from his house that he would know of another secure place to run off too. This last line does not surprise me because of the fact that Boo has never been out of his house. He does not come out of his house often so naturally he would not know of any other place to be. If Boo knew of another place to go, he probably would go off to it, but for now Boo has to stay in his house.
