Jem is a real sissy now, he wont even let me smash a rollie pollie. If i'm supposed to be acting more like a girl, how come its Jem who's acting like the girl now. Jem and i went with Atticus, to Helen's house, to tell her about Tom. She didnt take it well. Right as we told her she fell straight to the floor.

One day as i was walking to school, i was day dreamin bout Boo. I said hi to him, and he said hi back... We were having fun on the swings, although my dream was very short, it makes me want to meet him that much more. That day in class Mrs. Gates gave us this speech on Hitler, and boy could i tell she did not like this man. She said how he killed everyone and how he was a bad man. But whenever we asked why the government didnt stop him, she told us he was the government. I dont understand how only one person can be a government but apperently he can.

Later on in the week i wanted to talk to Jem about the trial. He told me he never wanted to talk about that trial ever again, and stormed off!

I was walking to my school play, all dressed up in my ham costume, when Cecil, jumped in front of me and scared me. Once we got to my play i was exhausted from playing all of those games. So i fell asleep, and completly missed my que to go on stage, but for some odd reason i just walked on stage, a little after i was supposed to. After the play i was too imbarresed to show my face, i waited to leave, then, once we started to leave, somebody honked at me and asked if we wanted a ride. Jem said no and we walked on. A while after, i heard something, and then i felt someones stomach, and after i could figure out what happend, Jem and i were at the house. Jem wasnt talking, so i got really scared. I asked dad if he was dead, but he made me wait for a doctor. Mr Heck Tate was at our door, and he was accompanied by a country man i never met before. Atticus got a chair for Mr Tate, but not for the other man, I wondered why, but i was too scared to care about it.
After a while the doctor left, and Mr Tate said that Mr Ewell was dead, and had a knife in his stomach.

He's not trying to hurt you he's just asking questions. Thats what the judge told Mayella, when i repeated a question. Although i'm sure some people thought i was being irrelevant, I kept asking her easy questions, i was trying to be as subtle as i could. I asked how did she get did she see Mr Robinson often, did she scream or holler, or call for her siblings to help her. She was very hessitant to answer but for both she just said yes, and that the children were not home. Then i asked did she see the man rape her and she was as silent. I then said that i though Bob Ewell raped her, but no answer. This went on for a while till she started to cry and we went for a 10 minute break. I wonder how could Tom hurt the girl with his left hand if his left hand was useless. So i figured the man must have been a lefty, as Mr Ewell is!


Tom admitted he passes the Ewells house a lot, and usually helps Mayella with her chores, but never hit her. In fact just the opposite he said, he said that she jumped on him and kissed him and said "i never kissed a man, now kiss me nigger"!
Tom then went on to say that he saw Mr Ewell and Bob called Mayelle a whore, and thretend to kill Tom.

God i hate my parents, they never pay attention to me! I have enough money to take the train to a place near Maycomb, then i had to walk the rest to actually get to Maycomb. It was deffinitly worth it so that i could visit Scout and Jem.The worst part about it was that i had to hide under Scouts bed, I saw scout look at me, but i dont think she saw meIt was very nice of Scout to get me some bread, I was very exausted once i got there. After i ate i went into Jems bed to go to sleep. I couldnt think, i was to excited to be with scout for the first time in a while, so i went to her bed and started talking things over.

Alexandria and Atticus have been arguing for the longest time over if Atticus really should be defending Tom Johnson. She thinks it is ruining the family name. Late that night, Scout, Jem and I all sneak out and Atticus to town. We saw him reading the paper, in front of the jail. Jem said we shouldn't desturb him, and we should just go home. Right as we are about to leave a bunch of cars came and a bunch of people came out of those cars. They yelled at Atticus to move but he refused. Scout then jumps out and yells for her dad we all followed her. Atticus orders us to go home, but Jem refused.

The men that we have 15 seconds to leave. Scout see's Mr Cunninham, and tells him to say hi to walter for her. He says he will say hi to walter for her. Atticus then takes us home.

Mr Finch left today and left me in charge. The day came to be Sunday, and I was taking the children to my special black church. So i had to make sure they were super clean. I told Scout to bathe twice as hard as usual. When we got to my church we walked up to Luna. She starts yelling at me, asking why i had to bring two white kids into a black church. She says they got there own church they dont need to visit ours. I pushed the kids to their seats so they were not in a peril condition. A while later Mister Jem asked me why their were no Hymm books. I told him we didn't need them, once again he asked why, so i told him to watch. So Reverend Sykes welcomes Scout and Jem by saying that everyone in the church knows their father. I din't get to see my eldest son go up to the front, because Scout was asking me a question, but she was so inaudible i didn't answer her. Zeebo started to sing, and then the conragation repeated him. Then i told Jem that was why we didn't have Hymms, and that only about for of our members could read. Before the service was over, Reverend Sykes locked the door, because he needed more donations for Helen, Tom Robinson's wife. So both me and scout put more money in. When we got back home, Jem and Scout asked me why I was talking "nigger talk" when i was at church even though i knew better English. I just told them that it was so i could fit in better.

I just finished opening presents and i got exactly what i wanted, CLOTHES! Scout was very fanatical when i told her i wanted to get clothes for Christmas. Later in the night i told Scout all about Dill's real life and how he is a "nigger lover". Apparently, she disagreed with me, so we debated it for a while, and my guess is that she won the debate, because after, she beat me up. I cried to Uncle Jack, and told him what happened, so he spanked cousin Scout. I saw Grandma yell at Scout for not acting like her own gender, she says she needs to be more ingenuous.

I hate this new way of learning, the "dewy decimal system" it's so annoying, flash cards in your face, personally, i dont think it helps, I think that our class would unanimously vote against the dewy decimal system. All day as i waited for school to end, i knew in the back of my head, Dill was coming back. That meant more games, more fun, but best of all NO SCHOOL! We started a new game, called the Radley's where we each acted out as a family member. Unfortunatly, my character was not need very often, so i didnt play very much. One day, Atticus caught us playing so we had to stop, but of course Jem, being evasive, found a loop whole around the whole thing. Later Dill asked me to marry him, i said no cause im too young, but i wasnt sure if he was sincere or not? Since i was not apart of the game very often, i had played a lot with Miss Maudie Atkinson. She changes the way she acts a lot, one day she will bake me the best cake i ever did lay my eyes on, then she'll plant a tree in her back yard. One day we were talkin bout Boo, but she made me call him Aurthur, i dont know why though. Later on we wanted to put a note on the Radlys door to torment Boo, i told them that Atticus would catch us, but they doubted me. Of course i was right!

Character: Ms. Caroline

Today was the very first day of teaching career a first grade class at my new school. I am trying to teach the children a knew way of learning, hopefully soon it will be taught by the whole school. So, right away i try to teach class by teaching the class how to read and write, but of course their is always that one naughty girl who had to have had her dad teach her how to do this previously, because their is no way that this child could read stock reports better then i could. Her name was Jean Louise Finch, she had tried to explain to me that her dad didn't help her, but that only angered me that much more, so i slashed her! I started to cool off, because i knew lunch was going to be coming up soon, and i knew that the sandwich store down on 14th street was just going to be superb , so i waited. I asked everyone if they had lunches, or money for lunch, and everyone said they did, except one kid. I offered him a quarter so he could walk downtown, but he wouldn't take it. I told him just pay me back tomorrow, or whenever he could. He awkwardly stared at me and he just said he couldn't accept my money, so once again Jean Finch, who tells me to call her scout, interrupts my class to tell me he won't never pay me back, because he is a Cunninham. She then goes on saying how they the poorest people in Maycomb, but also the nicest. I was very upset that she was so ignorant about this family. After school i walked home, and i saw ol' miss scout, and i saw her do the nastiest thing i ever did see. I saw her grab into a tree of some random house, and i then saw her take out a shiny piece of foil, so i followed her some more. I saw her run to her house. Then i saw her un-rap this piece of foil, then throw a piece of wrigley's chewing gum into her mouth. That girl is nasty.
