The Walk Through The Woods

That was the scariest thing that ever happened to me.  I thought Scout and me were going to die.  While we were walking I just felt something hit me hard and that is all I can remember.  Scout told me a little bit about it, she said that someone came into the woods and just attacked me, then another guy came in with a knife.  If I was still conscious I would have been more scared of the guy with the knife the unarmed guy, then Scout said it was Boo, I would still have been afraid of him even if he was helping us.  Everyday I had wondered what Boo looked like and never found out, then the time he comes out I am knocked out and I have to listen to Scouts description of him.  I am just glad that Boo came and killed him before he could hurt Scout too.

Tom Robinson

After he lost the case I thought nothing else could go wrong.  Why couldn't there just be a fair case and not just make Tom guilty because he is black.  Then when things couldn't get worse Tom got shot.  Why would they do that?  I know they say he was trying to escape, but I think someone shot him because they thought he would win the case.  Atticus and Tom would have won, but he got shot.  I wish he could have lived so that I could see a black man win a court case against a white man.

The Case

It was very interesting to see a real court case in action.  It was really interesting to hear the way the two Lawyers asked questions to try to find the guilty person.  I didn't know my dad was that confusing or smart.  I am glad he doesn't ask me and Scout questions like that when we get in trouble.  Listening to Atticus ask questions made me want to be a lawyer just like him.  The case took really long and I wished it was over in the middle, but i am kind of glad that i went because it was the first time i had ever seen Atticus doing work.

The Jail House

That night I felt something was wrong.  I had a feeling in my head that Atticus was going to be in trouble or already in trouble.  At first I thought I was just nervous about the case and who was going to win, but then when I saw some men get out of a few cars with guns.  I had the worst feeling that they were going to shoot Atticus and then Shoot Tom.  I am glad that Scout ran to Atticus and we followed, if she didn't Atticus probably wouldn't be here.  This was the first time in my life I had ever said no to Atticus, any other day I would have gotten in so much trouble, but Atticus knew that we saved him.

Calpurnia's Church

I thought this was actually pretty fun.  I had never been to a church besides ours for as long as I can remember.  I had some thoughts at how they were going to sing and when they started I wondered how long they have been going here to be able to remember these songs by heart.  I liked their music more than ours because it was more lively and loud, the church I go to is like soft and slow music.  People had always told me how Negro's were bad people and when I went to church I found they were really nice except Lola.  I can't wait to tell everyone hoe nice they are and how fun they are.

Mrs. Dubois

She really has something wrong with her.  All she ever does is makes fun of me and Scout because of Atticus and yesterday I had had enough.  I am Glad that before we walked by her house for the second time I had bought Scout that baton because if I didn't I wouldn't have been able to have chopped up her bushes.  Now that I have done it though, I regret it because now everyday, for a month, after school I have to read a book to her.  It is not that I don't like reading it is just that I can't stand seeing her and now I have to sit next to her and read.  

Aunt Alexandra

Why did Atticus think that we need Aunt Alexandra here?  We are fine without her and all she does is yells at me and Scout, Scout the most.  She never lets us do anything we usually do with Dill.  I really wish she never came, that would make everything so much better, and maybe some things would change.  I hope Scout doesn't give in to her, and I hope Scout stays the same she is now.
