Question
- when dill causally says \i know what, lets go for a walk,\ scout believes he \sounds fishy.\ \sounds fishy\ means something doesnt sound right or is questionable. how is scout correct that dills casual suggestion is \fishy\? what are the boys really planning?
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout is correct that Dill's suggestion is "fishy" because Dill and Jem are not just going for a walk. They are actually planning to go to the Radley Place and peek in through a loose shutter to try and get a look at Boo Radley. Their attempt to make it seem like a casual walk is a cover - up for their more daring and secretive plan.

Scout is correct as Dill and Jem are planning to go to the Radley Place and peek at Boo Radley (by looking through a loose shutter), not just going for a simple walk.
