court with atticus

today jem dill and i went to court to see how its going.
it was hot as a dickens in that courthouse and there was
no where for us to sit. luckily rev.skies came in and asked us did we wont to sit with the Negros on the balcony.
we were so excited so we sat down at the top and we could see everything from up there !
judge taylor had a very interesting habit he had sign that said
no smoking bt he smoked.
so court began and atticus was the first to ask questions along with mr.gilmore. they asked questions to all the wittness and stuff. when it was tom's turn mr.gilmore was in some sort of a way begin angry towards him. and all of a sudden dill started to cry. and jem told me to take him out he would make me. so i took him out and asked him what was wrong. he said that he was sick and i asked why. he said he was sick because of the way mr.gilmore was talking to tom ! and i told him that he was just a nigger and thats how they talk to them and a voice agreed with dill out of no where we thought it was the oak tree for a minute but it was a man.......

court with atticus

church with cal ! ;-)

today is Sunday and atticus is still gone so we cant go to our normal Church,and cal doesnt know what to do with us.
because last time we went to church without atticus we ended up
locking Eunice Ann into the fernas room !
so, calpurnia decided that we go to church with her.
cal goes to first purchase M.E. church .
she scrubbed us clean jem and i both and she starched my dress so
much when i sat down it looked like a tint.
As, we walked through the doors of the Church it was a crowed of Negros,all dressed up and fancy !
there was this one she was tall and dark and she spoke to cal
about us being at church with her. she was saying things like they have their church and we have ours.
jem told cal if they want us to leave then we can go. cal said no we are staying. so we sat down and saw zeebo which is cal's son
he sings for the Church and they sing with book called hymnbooks they seem pretty neat !
cal gave both me and jem a dollar so we can put it into a collection for Helen Robinson tom's wife ! so church ended and as we were walking home we saw Aunt Alexandria ! sitting on our porch.

second day of school

so today was my second day of school.
i have already qotten ion miss.caroline's bad side
see this is how it all started i think it was about lunch
time when some kids was calling my daddy a nigger lover.
ohhh... i was in range and i was ready to fight. i said he is not and
they said he is too. i told them my daddy aint no darn nigger lover so
yall just cut that out you here. so back into the class i put this kid name
walter cummingham, and miss.caroline was so hot at me.
then she told me that i couldnt read and my daddy didnt teach me right.
later, then aftertoon i was goin home and i ranned to atticus and told
about what happend he told me. scout dont go fight =ing because of what people say about me, and i said but atticus he called you a nigger lover he was silent... so i said well are you and he saidd yes i support them this nigger name tom robinson and if i dont u would have to walk around
with my head down.
i was surprised at him and felt real bad so i made him a promise
that i would fight ever again.
well, today was better than yesterday hoping that tomorrow is the best
day because the past days have been rough. :-(

my first day at school in maycomb

today is was my first day of school.
i am in the first grade and my brother jem is in the 5Th
the bad thinq is that jem gets out at 3 and that means that i would probably have to walk home and that means qoin pass the radely's place..
well, anyways back to my first day my teachers name is miss.Caroline she is short
with a peppermint red and white dress. she had really nice hair all the boys at school like her, but she didn't like me. she said that i learned how to read all wrong and that i couldn't read with atticus anymore. that made me very upset with and i felt like not coming to school anymore. at the end of the day, it was time to go home and i walked but myself . as i was walking home i seen something coming out of the oak tree at the radely's it was Tim foil i went in and got it and pulled out a pack of Wrigley's gum. i ate it and then came home jem forcing me to spit it out saying it was nasty and to never anything out of there again. today was a really bad day i hope tomorrows a better day. :-(
