Chapters 9 and 10 -Jem-

I feel really bad for that mad dog. I wonder if Tom Johnson is gonna ever realize that his dog was mad and that Atticus had to shot him. I can't beleive that Atticus never told me that he could shoot like that, but i don't blame him cause it isn't exactly somethin to be proud of. Scout better keep her mouth shut and not go around tellin the kids at school about it cause i told her not to and i am sure Atticus wouldn't want it going around town. You should've seen Calpurnia though. She was racing all over town tellin people bout the mad dog. She even went to the Radley place but I don't know why.
Ms Dubose is the rudest person on the planet! She was talkin bout how Atticus is defending a black man and she was saying all these nasty things bout it. So I took Scouts baton and took the tops off of all her camellies. But ofcourse I got in trouble for it even though Ms Dubose deserved what she got and now i have to read to that old and nasty woman each day after school! I would rather do anything but read to her. Luckly, Scout said she would come with me so I don't have to be alone with her. I can't wait till my punishment is done!

chapters 7 and 8 - Scout

Today me and Jem were gonna write a letter to the person who was givin us the presents. We ended up doing it but when we went to put the letter on the tree the hole was filled up! I was so upset and I knew Jem was too but he didn't say nothing bout it. Mr. Radley had filled up the hole, he told us! He said that the tree was dieing but we asked Atticus and he said that the tree wasn't dieing at all. I ain't to sure why he did that but I am for sure suspicious.
Today Jem actually thought that the world was ending cause there was white stuff fallin from the sky. Sometimes he can be stupid. But later when we figured out it was snow me and Jem went out and built a snowman that looked like Mr. Avery. Jem only let me do the back of the snowman cause he wanted the front to himself. I am kinda mad him cause he wouldn't let me help him do the front of the snowman cause he wanted all the glory to himself!
