Chapter 8-9
Perspective: Scout
So many things are going on right now and it all started when something unusual happened in Maycomb, it snowed!! One of our fat neighbors insisted that weather changed because of bad kids, Jem and me probably. so in retaliation I made a snow man who just happens to look similar to our pot-bellied neighbor Mr. Avery. My dad thought it was funny, but he made me disguise it more by using Miss Maudie's straw hat and garden shears.
The next even crazier thing to happen!! Miss Maudie's house was on fire!! My dad woke me and jem up that very cold night and told us to stand the street next to the Radley's place. Then when we got back Atticus noticed a brown blanket wrapped around me! Jem and dad said it was boo which was very shocking. When he told us to return it Jem blurs everything to dad about the pants and game!

At school a kid keep making fun of me because my dad was defending a black man. I would of clobbered him to china but before that I wanted to know why that was such a bad thing. Atticus told me that he was defending Tom Robinson, A black man. Atticus knew he was going to lose because he was black but he was still going to defend him. He told me to ignore anything that anyone said about him or the trial, and I keep promises. The only time I almost broke that promise is when we went to finch landing and my bratty cousin who would make fun of my pants called my dad a "nigger-lover" I may not know what that means, but I could tell it wasn't good by the way he said it so I clobbered him until uncle jack stopped me. Thats when I called him "Whore-Lady" When I got back I was sure that Uncle jack would tell Atticus, but when I went downstairs for A drink I over heard them talk about me. The surprising thing is that jack didn't say about the fight. He also said how he doesn't want Jem and me to grow up like the rest of the people in this town. Of course dad knew I was there and told me to go to sleep. I guess he wanted me to hear about it.
