Scout's Diary
Dear
Diary,
Today Jem and I met a new kid staying at Miss
Rachel’s. He calls himself Dill. He’s around the same age as me but a little
closer to Jem’s age. Jem told him about Boo Radley and all the rumors there are
about him. We told him about how he was locked up in his house for a long, long
time. Jem told him the story about Boo stabbing his dad in the leg with a pair
of scissors while working on his scrapbook, then wiped it on his pants. Then we
went and played in the tire. Jem rolled me really hard down the street and I
ended up in the Radley’s yard. I heard laughter as I was running away. I think
it was Boo. I was kind of scared.
Dear Diary,
I had my first day of school. Miss Caroline yelled at me because I knew
how to read. She said that Atticus can’t teach me to read anymore. That he can’t
read to me anymore. Then I tried to explain why Walter Cunningham didn’t have
lunch to Miss Caroline and why Walter wouldn’t take her quarter. She wouldn’t
listen though and I had to sit in the corner. Everyone laughed at me. I tried to
beat up Walter but Jem pulled me off of him. Then Jem went and invited him to
come eat lunch with us at home. When we had lunch Walter poured syrup all over
him food and almost in his milk. I said something then got yelled at by Atticus
and Calpurnia. Calpurnia told him I should make fun of my guests. They can do
whatever they want to their food.
Dear Diary,
Last night Miss Maudie’s house started on fire. Everyone was trying to
save as much of her stuff as they could. Miss Maudie’s flowers were kind of
burnt but she said she can save them. Miss Maudie said she always wanted to burn
her house down but that she didn’t want to get in trouble. She said since her
house died that her house was too big for her. She said she’s gonna rebuild her
house but make it smaller and maybe get some boarders so she can pay for her
house. She’s going to replant her flowers. The scary part was that while Jem and
I were waiting for Atticus someone put a blanket around me. I think Boo put the
blanket on me.
Dear Diary,
Jem and I got attack by Bob Ewell tonight when we were walking home from
the Halloween pageant. I had my ham costume on and couldn’t see anything. Jem
was guiding me home and he started hearing sounds. All of a sudden Bob Ewell
attacked us. He was drunk from whiskey. I was so scared. Jem fought him off and
pulled me closer to home but Bob grabbed him. Jem screamed and I tried to look
for him but I only found Bob on the ground. I walked home slowly and saw
someone carrying Jem. Aunt Alexandra called the doctor. Jem is going to be ok. I
found out that Boo was the one that saved Jem and me. Boo asked I to take him
home and I did.
