Atticus
Today, Scout and Jem's aunt, Aunt Alexandra came to visit. She explains that she has to stay with us for a while so that Scout can have a female in the house. She said it will be a good thing for Scout and that she needs a "female influence" in the Finch family. I was pensive about this idea, i don't know if Alexandra is the right person for this, She thinks she's infallible. Although, Everyone on maycomb felt very comfortable with having Alexandra here. The citizens made her feel at home by baking her cakes and having her over for coffee. After a while around Alexandra, the kids seem to be laking pride of her. She tried to convince me lecture the kids, she told me i needed to take better care of them. I think i know how to take care of my own children! But, i decided to talk to them anyway and it ended emerging Scouts feelings and tears.
While i'm preoccupied with my trial as a lawyer, i don't need to have any more distractions. One day, Scout tried to ask me what "rape" is, i answered in a way she wouldn't understand. She heard that word from a trip to visit cal's church. Alexandra got very upset and told them that there were not allowed back there. Later, she tries to explain to me that i should get rid of, Cal. I refused. That night, i heard Jem tell Scout not to antagonize Alexandra. I think that might be a good idea.
Scout got angry and decided to pick a fight with Jem, i broke it up and sent them to their rooms to go to bed. Later on, Jem comes to me and tells me that Dill had escaped from home and came to visit us. I told Scout to get Dill some food, He said he was starving. Scout said that Dill ran away from home because his parents don't pay enough attention to him. After he eat, they all went to sleep. The next day i took the car into town, to find that Scout and Jem were following me. I was in-front of the maycomb jail reading the newspaper. Meanwhile, i saw Jem, Scout, and Dill from a distence. As they came closer i ordered them to go home. Jem refused. Later we all headed home.

ReplyDeleteI really liked reading this blog post, your writing has really improved. I just want to say one thing, make sure you read over your work. There were a lot of grammar mistakes. For and example make sure your capitalize the word, "I" you seem to always make it lower case. Also when your writing in perspective, make sure you make it past tence, because it get confusing when you jump around and say things like, "she explains" instead of "she explained". Also, your writing was very detailed in the beginning, but then started to get really vague and I noticed you didn't spend as much time to detail. Other then that great job in your blog post!!!
Great post, I really like how you quoted Aunt Alexandra. Also, your vocabulary words were used very well. One thing you can work on improving is staying in one tense. But, other than that your post was very accurate and well written! (: I enjoyed reading it.
