TKAM Post #5 Chapters 12 – 14 Perspective – Atticus

My Sister Alexandra came over to our house to stay for a little while because she said that I needed to teach jem and scout how to act rite. I don't think the children were to happy about her staying with us for a while. After a little while she came, the trail of tom Robinson started. Their was a lot of rumors going around town about tom was already guilty and his story didn't match up. We met up with reverend Sykes and we followed him up to the second floor of the court house. We sat there for a while and we listened to Mr. Heck Tate's testimony. His testimony sounded pretty legit to me. This case is really confusing.

TKAM Post #4 Chapters 10 – 12 Perspective – Calpurnia

Mr. Atticus was out of town this weekend and I came up with the idea of the kids coming to church with me. I had to get them looking their best so that people will know I take care of my children. When we got there, stupid lula comes over and starts running her mouth about how I cant bring the children to this church.I tell her that she is crazy and that their daddy is Mr. Finch. We walked in and took a seat. Then Mr. Sykes came out and started off our church service with some announcements. One of the announcements stated that we need to raise money for Helen Robinson. She was the wife of tom Robinson, the man that Mr. Finch is defending. We all walked up and put our money in the can but by the end we didn't have enough to help her. Mr. Sykes convinced everybody to pitch in more and ten minutes later we had enough and church was over. After scout asked me if she could come over sometime. I said maybe. Scout is a very "different" young girl.

TKAM Journal #2 - Chapters 4-7 - Perspective: Scout

This school year went by way to slow. All the other kids take their time learning stuff that is pretty simple to me. One day when i was walking back home from school, I saw a little tin foil looking thing sticking out of the radley's oak tree. It turns out that they were two pieces of chewing gum. Then on the last day of school I went back to the radley oak tree and found two Indian headed pennies . When summer finally came, Jem, Dill, and I started up our games. We rolled each other in tires and when it was my turn, I rolled right in front of the radley place. After that our games seemed to be more based on the radleys. On day father caught us and asked jem did our games involve the radleys and jem lied to him.We invited Boo to Ice Cream but dad caught us and said not to torment that man.On the last day that dill was here we peeped through a hole that looked into the radley place and saw a figure with a hat. We all ran and heard shotgun shots behind us.We ran to the school yard but jem's pants got stuck. We walked back through town and we saw dad. He asked us were jem's pants were. Stupid Dill said that he won them in a game of strip poker.After school starts, jem found his pants fixed and hanging the fence. Then we kept finding stuff inside the tree knothole.Until one day it was filled with cement. We asked nathan radley but he said the tree was dying.
