Quote of the day: “We just can’t all get along”

        Scout’sbeen getting on my nerves lately. She keeps tryin’ to follow me & Dill everywhere! Doesn’t she have a life of her own? We keep asking her to leave us alone. Besides, it’s not like she would enjoy our guy conversations. She’d be bored sick, so in my point of view we’re doin’ her a favor. Whenever she’s lonely she goes over to Mrs. Mauddie’s house. I bet you she’s just gettin’ fat eatin’ up a bunch o...

Quote of the day: “Like father NOT like son”

        I had the greatest idea the other day! I was walking with Dill and Scout when it came to me. I told them that we should write a note to Boo Radley. It’s an amazing idea, right? Dill was all for it, but Scout was more hesitant, which I could see coming. Scout’s a chicken most of the time. Probably cause’ she’s younger. Anyways, so this is how we attempted to do it. We put the note on a long fishing pole line. Then I tried to s...

Quote of the Day, “Try working around an obstacle in your life.”

        I can to the post office after work wondering about all the excitement that might have happened to Scout. Boy, was I ever so energetic and charged to asked Scout about how her first day was than I was really put-down when she greeted me. Poor girl, she looked like a wilted bud and sat down on the porch. I went over and sat on the swing I asked her what had happened. She told me about not going to school. That sen...

Quote of the Day, “Be respectful to others and respect their activities.”

        Can you believe those three today? I was walking home from the post office with today’s newspaper and I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw what those three were doing. They were ridiculing the Radley’s by making up a play of them. I was steaming hotter and more than a train at the Maycomb train station. I figured that Dill might be at the lead, but I was caught off guard when I found out that Jem wa...

Quote of the Day, “Stay out of bad activities, you could get into a huge amount of trouble.”

        When I heard the shot I came a running to Mr. Nathan Radley’s house. Once I got there I found a huddle of people around his from gate. I soon found out that Nathan said he saw black man in his back yard and almost had him. I heard the voice of Miss Stephanie talking about Mr. Nathan and then suddenly to Jem. I turned around to face him and before I could asked were he has been I found...

Quote of the Day, “Persevere through problems, things would get better later on.”

        Today’s the first day of Scout’s Second Grade year. Boy, I hope that everything turns out right. She was extremely upset about last year. In the morning she didn’t seem too happy about school. She also told me that that the last class flunked the First Grade. She was all she said. After school, she came home with Jem and she seemed pail. I guessed that everything didn’t turn out as well. S...

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...

Quote of the Day: "Be who you are”


        Hi. My name is Scout. I am the daughter of Atticus and the sister of Jem. I am 6 years old. My mother is not alive and so that sometimes makes people think I can't grow up to be a lady. But I can get along just fine with my family. I also live with our cook Calpurnia. She is really mean, by the way. I'm always with my brother and I reckon he can raise me and take care of me good enough with all his older mightiness. The main point is that I am as ...
