Quote of the day: ” Home sweet home is safe for me”

        Last night sure was cold. I kept every fireplace in Mr. Finch’s house blazing hot but it was still freezing cold. I decided that it would be warmer to go home because Mr. Finch’s high ceilings and long windows. My home may be smaller but at least it keeps all the warmth in and all the cold out. When I came to Mr. Finch's house this morning, I saw that Miss Maudie’s house wasn’t there. There were only ashes left and a f...

Quote of the day: “ Innocent until proven guilty”

        Atticus is defending Tom Robinson in court even though everyone in town thinks Atticus is a disgrace for defending a black man. I know Tom Robinson from church. He is a nice man with a nice family. They are nice clean-living folk so I believe that Atticus should defend Tom no matter what anyone else says. Atticus is going to defend Tom because he wouldn’t be able to show his face to his children if he turned down this case. I�...

Quote of the day: "Live each day like it's your last so you will have lots to remember"

        This was a fun summer. I got to make some new friends, learn about some monster in a creepy house, and got shot at for entering someone’s backyard. Luckily no one was hurt but I think Jem had to go back for his pants. That must have been scary, to go get your pants out of a fence early in the morning. He had to be real quiet or Mr.Radley would blow his head off. I can’t wait to come back to Ma...

Quote of Day: "No matter how old you are, you are never too young to ask someone to marry you."

        This summer I asked Scout to marry me. Before I asked her to marry me, I marked her as my property, and told her that I loved her. She said yes. I kind of forgot about us because I was having so much fun with her brother Jem, so she beat me up a couple of times, but I still love her. I even sneak kisses with her when Jem’s not looking. We are going to get married as soon as we are old en...

Quote of the Day: "Make the best with what you've got"

        I love going to Maycomb every summer but I wish that I had a real home. I am just passed down from relative to relative and I am getting sick of it. Although, if it wasn’t for the fact that I don’t have a home, I would have never met Scout, my present fiancé and future wife. I do love Scout, but I wish I had a place to call home. Somewhere where I live the whole year, not just for the month. But that won’t happen until I g...

Quote of the day: "Things will get better"

        I’m not going to Maycomb this summer. I got a new father and I’m spending the summer with him. He is a lawyer like Scout’s father only he looks younger. My new daddy and I are going to build a boat together. That sounds like mighty fun. I am going to miss Scout, but I wrote to her that I will love her forever and that I will come marry her as soon as I got enough money. I hope Scout won’t spend her summer missing me while I have fun...

Quote of the Day: “Folks are mighty fine in this town"

        Maycomb seems like a mighty fine town. I met some nice townsfolk. My new buddy, Jem, told me all about the Radley house, which seems to be a haunted house. He says that a phantom named Boo Radley lives there. I am fascinated by the place but I can't get my self to come closer than the light pole. I would love to see this "Boo Radley". Townsfolk say he creeps around at night, peeping into windows. Jem says he ain't scared...

Quote of the Day: " Trouble for all when going sneaking around“

        Last night was a hoot. Jem, Scout, and I sneaked into Mr. Radley's backyard to see if we could get a look at Boo Radley. It was all fine 'til Mr. Radley spotted us and started shootin' at us. We barely escaped. Jem got stuck in the fence and he had to take off his pants to get through. Luckily, Mr. Radley didn't recognize us so we didn't get in trouble. Although Jem was questioned on account of his missing pants...
