The most amazing thing happened the other day in Maycomb. It snowed for the first time in several years. We even got off from school because snow was so rare. Jem and I collected as much snow as we could to make a snowman. We realized it wasnt snowing enough so we made it out of dirt and put snow on top. As a joke we make it look like Mr. Avery. Dad got mad so we put on Miss Maudies sunhat on the snowman to disguise it.
A terrible tragedy occurred the other day. In the middle of the night my dad woke me up and put my bathrobe on me. I was still half asleep so i didnt know what was happening. He took Jem and I outside thats when I saw it Miss Maudies house was on fire. All my neighbors were outside helping her save her furniture. The fire trucks arrived fast enough so the fire wouldnt spread to other house, but it was to late for Miss Maudies house it was burnt to the ground.

chapter 7
When we came home the other day from school Jem and I found his pants mended back together. Then we found something else. It was a ball of gray twine in the knot in the tree. We didnt know whos it was so we left it there. After a few days we just took it. We had an idea who left it there but now its ours.
A few months later another present was left in the knot. It was to figures that looked like Jem and I. The dolls were carved out of soap. Then in the hole we found chewing gum, a pocket watch, and a spelling bee medal. The day after that we saw that the hole was filled with cement. Jem asked Nathan Radley what happened to the tree. Mr. Radley replied that the tree was dying so he had to fill it.

chapter 6
Its dills last day in Maycomb and he wants to do one last thing to Boo Radley. So Jem and Dill decide to sneak on over to Boos house and peek through his shutter. I accompanied them, so we creeped around the house and and we were looking through windows when we saw a black shadow. Thats when we heard the gun shot. The shot came from behind us. Instantly we ran for the fence we were almost home free, but Jem got his pants caught in th fence. So he had to get free of them and leave them behind.
Dill and Jem became really good friends over the past summer. They would be together all the time. They were with each other so often that i felt left out after awhile, but Im glad because thats when i became friends with Miss. Maudie. but i truly realized how good of friends they were when dill lied for Jem when he lost his pants. Dill said that he lost them during a game of strip poker against dill. Even though it still made the adults mad, its the thought that counted.

chapter 4
When Jem and I were together he stubbled across some pennies. We discovered the pennies in a knot-hole. When he took a closer look at them he realized they were old. He thought they were so cool and interesting, like they were worth a lot of money. I could care less about the pennies they are just some old round pieces of copper. I guess he is just more mature when it comes to appreciating older objects. I am just a kid that is a little less mature because I would rather play than stare at some coins. He is my older brother so maybe one day it will interest me.
That Boo Radley creeps me out hes always hidden away in his house. I don't get why the other boys are playing his little game. Boo Radley scares me and it seems like I'm the only one. The boys play into his naive little games when it is a serious matter at least to me, but i have good reasons. Miss Maudie told me if he wasnt crazy as a child he is probably now. So i think they should leave him and the knot in the tree alone.

Chapter 2
I cant believe what i heard today. Mrs. Caroline told me i to stop reading with my father. I dont understand because i knew everything we talked about in class and i helped my teacher when she was wrong. But she still said my dad shouldnt read to me because he isnt a teacher. She said i was very intelligent but, I only know what my dad has taught me so he has to be doing something right. I dont know if i should stop reading.
Walter Cunningham had an even worse day the i did, which is surpriseing. The teacher made fun of him for not having a lunch. and she offered him a quarter but he didnt take it. I thought that was strange, but it was because he wouldnt take anything he couldnt pay back. I guess thats how he was brought up because hes really poor. But luckily for him he only comes once a year to school. I feel bad because they are so poor that his dad is allowed to hunt out of season.
