To kill a mocking bird Chapters 8-9


Dear Diary,
Today Ms.Maudies Ms.Maudies house burnt down. I felt really bad for her because all of her things were getting destroyed. My father and the other neighbors tried to save her furniture. My dad set me and scout by the corner of the street right by boo radelys house. I think my dad put me and scout over there because he didnt want us to get hurt. When my dad came back for us he noticed that there was a blanket on scout. I had just noticed it to. Me and scout had no idea how it got on there. We think it was Boo radley who put it on her because everyone else in the neighbor hood. Ms.Maudie says that she was gald that her house burnt down. She says that her old house was to small and she wanted more room for her garden. I dont think shes telling the truth because she has to miss something in that house. But im glad that shes happy.
Scout is having some trouble with her classmates. Her classmates are telling her that my dad defends black people. My dad tried to explain that violence isnt that answer and try to fight with your words. My dad told her to keep her head held up high. But I think shes having a hard time doing that. Every year our family has a get together at the family farm. My aunt isnt the niceset person. My aunts grandson Francis hears about my dad defending black people. When Francis talked to Scout about it Scout got really angry and started to beat Francis up. Uncle Jack broke the fight up and talked to Scout about what had happened.

To kill a mocking bird 1-3

Chapters 1-3
Perspective- Jem

Dear Diary,
Me and scout met a boy named Charles Baker Harris. We call him Dill though. Dill lives In Meridian, Mississippi but he comes over where we live during the summer. Me and Dill have become good friends.I really enjoy playing with him. I think Dill gets a little carried away with his games but I think they get really interesting. I feel that me and Dill leave out scout but who cares.

I don't think that scout is going to like school because I think school is lame. All you do during class is hear the teacher talking all day and its so annoying. It gets so bored during the day. Summer and breaks are part of the school year. I think Girls are weird. Especially my sister.

I really miss my mother. When my mother died I had a hard time. I'm really glad Calpurnia came in my life because she is like a mother to me. Even though shes black I still see her as a mom.I feel like my mom is watching over my family and making sure we do the right thing.

I wonder if what people say about boo radley is true.I think if me and Dill want him to come out we are going to have to step it up a notch. But i think Dill is to chicken to step it up. Its really fun playing games by boo radleys house. I think its going to be a challenge to get boo to come out of his house. I'm a bit scared because I don't want him to kill me or Dill. I'm also a bit scared for scout because I don't want him to hurt her since hes a phsyco person.

I'm kind of sad that Dill left back to his home because now I don't have a friend to hang out with during the day. But it's not like hes gone forever so thats good.I feel bad for scout because her first day of school was horrible. I agree with scout because I think that scout shouldn't be punished just because she can read. Ms.Caroline she should be happy because thats one less person to teach.

To Kill A Mocking Bird 4-7

Chapters 4-7
Perspective-Jem
Dear Diary,
Today when I got home scout was chewing gum that she found. I thinks shes crazy because first of all she didn't get it from the store. Second of all It was in boo radleys yard! She can sick or even die if it had poison in it. I think she has to stop looking in the knothole because I'm afraid something bad is going to happen to her.
On the last day of school when me and scout were walking back home we noticed something was in the tree. Me and scout went to go see what it was and we discovered pennies. It was any penny it was an Indian pennies. So we kept them.
A couple days after school ended Dill came back. I showed the new game I made which is called the Boo radely game. We were having fun reenacting Boos life. Until my dad caught on what we were doing. After my dad told us to stop we didn't play it often because I didn't want to cause trouble with my Dad. I feel kind of bad for scout because I feel like we are leaving her out. But it looks like shes enjoying talking to Ms. Maudie. I felt bad for her so I let her come and watch what we were going to do to Boo Radely. We try to give him a note. The note said to come out and play. When I was trying to give him the note My dad came and told us to stop. My dad tried to explain to us that if he wanted to come outside then he would. If he doesn't want to come outside thats his business.

School was coming fast. It was Dills last night and me and Dill were going to go look through Boo radelys window. Scout tried talk me out of doing it but what does she know. When we got there we looked in the window and seen a shadow. Me and Dill got frightened so we started to run. We heard a Shotgun shoot. When I tried to escape I got caught into the fence. I was so scared I was going to die. So I took my pants off and ran.

When me and Dill got back people were concerned about the gun shot. My dad asked where my pants were. Dill Said that we were playing a game of strip poker and I lost. He told me to go get my pants from Dill and come back home. Scout tried to tell me not to go but I Said I had to because Id risk my live so dad didn't find out that I lied to him.

When school started again me and scout got to walk home together. When we passed the radelys house we would see stuff in the knothole. Me and scout Decide we wanted to write a thank you note for putting the things in the knothole. But when me and Scout come back to put it in there we noticed that the knothole was filled with cement. Boo's brother comes out and tells us that he did that because the tree was dieing. I don't think the tree is dieing but I think hes trying to tell me and scout something but I cant figure it out what is.
