Hi, i'm Jem Finch. I live in Maycomb with my father, Atticus and my little sister Scout, she can be very quibbling. The other day Scout came home from school she told me she had passed by Boo Radley's house and she saw a piece of tin foil istuck inside a tree hole. She said she stuck her hand in there to find two pieces of chewing gum. She had eaten them both! I thought she had gone crazy! I panicked and made her spit it out. Who would be dumb enough to eat two pieces of chewing gum found in a tree in front of the Radley's house?! Scout, thats who. However, on Scouts last day of school we had both found two Indian-head pennies and decided to keep them, we were unanimous.
Summer is here! Dill returns to Maycomb and we begin with playing out games again like the one game where we roll eachother in a tire. On Scouts turn, i pushed her and she rolled down and infront of the Radley's place. Scout and I both panicked. After the incident it sparked me to think of another game called "Boo Radley". as the summer passes on, there game becomes more complicated considering it was the Radley's. Soon enough, father catches us playing and asks is if our game had anything to do with Boo Radley. I lied and said no. I wonder if it is still safe to play this anymore? Hes tormenting g us with his secrecy.
One day, Scout and I planed to sneak over to the Radley place and peek through a loose shutter. Suddenly, we see a man with a hat on, We were frightened.We tried to evasion him. We both escaped under the fence, but as we were doing so my pants got caught and i was forced to kick them off leaving them behind. A few days later we had experienced our first time in snow! We made a snowman that looked quite similar to Mr. Avery. Father was impressed how well we did. That night, father woke up Scout and I and told us to go outside. Come to find Miss Maudie's house was on fire. It burned to the ground. Someone had draped a blanket over scout as she watched the house in flames. Father asked her who it was and Scout had no clue who did that. Later, i foudn out it was Boo Radley who did such a thing. Scout nearly threw up when she found out. After, Miss Maudie was in excitement. She told us how she hated her old home and how she was already planning to build a smaller house and plant a larger garden. I thought that was kid of tyranny.
The language you use in your post is very accurate, it really helped me paint a picture in my head! It was interesting to here about Scout and Jem's relationship from the point of view of Jem, because the book only tells you Scout's opinion on things. This is a great post!

ReplyDeleteWell done. I just have to say make sure you read over your work there were a lot of missed spelled words, and grammar errors. For example make sure sure when you write "I" it is capitalized, and when you start a new sentence the first letter of the word is capitalized. Also when you are writing in a character's perspective, remember not to summarize the chapters, but to say it in your perspective.
