Chapter 8

This is the first time I've ever touched snow! It was beautiful. School was canceled so me and Jem decided to have some fun. We built a snow man with the dirt and covered it in snow because there wasn't enough. We made the snowman look like Mr. Avery but when we showed Aticus he wasn't too pleased. Aticus told us to change it so we put Mrs. Maudie's hat on him and her hedge clippers as hands.

That night Aticus woke us up told us to get dressed and brought us outside. I was in shock to see Mrs. Maudie's house in flames. All the neighbors tried to help get out the furniture but the house didn't make it. Mrs. Maudie wasn't upset about it though. She said she wanted a smaller house so she could have a huge garden. Aticus asked me where i got the blanket i had on. I don't even remember having one when i came outside. Jem said it was Boo Radley but he always tries to pull my leg. We told Aticus about the strange things that have been happening with Boo. He said just to keep to ourselves.

Chapter 4

Through out my school years I've only grown to hate it more. The same thing everyday was dreadful, but one day when i was walking home i saw a shiny tinfoil hanging out of the big oak tree on the Radley's property. I went to go see what it was of course and saw it was two pieces of chewing gum. When i went home and told Jem he was worried and told me to spit out the gum.

On the last day of school me and Jem were walking home and saw another thing in the tree. It was a little trinket box that wedding rings come in. Inside were two indian-head pennies. Jem said they were good luck so we kept them!

Chapter 3

There is this kid Walter Cunningham in my class. He's very poor. Walter decided to get me in trouble so I stuck his head in the dirt. Jem wasn't happy when he saw what I did. After i thought about what I did I felt really bad so I invited Walter to have dinner with us.

After i got home from school Aticus asked me to read with him. I just casually said yes and walked outside. He asked whats wrong so I told him that Miss Caroline didn't want me to read with him anymore and how i don't want to go back to school. He said if you go back to school we can still read together as long as I don't tell Miss Caroline.

Chapter 2

Our cousin Dill went back to Meridian today. He comes every summer to stay with us. I was really sad he had to leave, It felt like he just got here. I also started my first day of school today. I was so nervous, it was my first time every going to a school. Jem told me not to talk to him at school and I don't know why.

When I got to my class the teacher welcomed me to my class mates. She didn't come off as the nicest person. Her name was Miss Caroline. We were reading in class out loud and she asked me to read. I guess I was doing well because she blamed Aticus for teaching me how to read. At recess Jem came up to me in school and asked how I liked it so far. I really didn't enjoy my first day, in fact i hated it.

Chapter 1

This is Maycomb, Alabama. Where me, my father Aticus, and my brother Jem all live. Its a prettysmall, run down town. My father Aticus makes a living here as a lawyer. As you know the Great Depression is going on. We don't have a lot of money as it is. 

This is Arthur Boo Radley's house. Boo is our neighbor. No one has seen him come out of his house since he was a teenage boy. He had gotten in trouble with the law as a teen so his father punished him by not letting him out of the house. His father is dead now but Boo still never comes out. He lives there with his older brother Nathan. We're trying to get Boo to come out so we could see what he looks like by playing games and messing around outside his house.
