Scout's Journal
When my brother Jem, Dill and I were tampering on Boo Radley's property, we were not respecting him and his property. Jem probably shoulden't have even set foot in side that gate. But he did. But only because he was dared and didn't want to look bad in front of me, or even Dill.

theme-Take the summer, into adventure and worries I was finally glad that the school is over and I get to goto the playing I hoped to do. Jem and I invented new games that had to do with Boo Radley. Oh yeah we also found these 2 indian head pennies I'm glad that we found those pennies it opened up new creative thoughts. Dill was back and was happy to play. We hope that the supposed ghost of the Radley's isn't going to kill us in our sleep at night. I took the risk of believing that I was scared and hopefull he was dead Human Comparision
When Jem invited that cunningham boy over for supper. I think he was doin it out of Human compassion for the boy. I think even mabey he felt sorry for him. But when he poured molassas oll over his food i didn't understand why anyone would have compassion for someone like that.
When Jem Dill and I tried to send the letter to Boo Radley, we were only trying to help him and the most respectfull way we could think of to get hi attention without him killin us was to right him a letter. When Atticus told us to leave him alone. I don't think he understood what we were trying to accomplish.

Atticus sure can be funny sometimes. I'm talking about the whole thing with the Cunningham's payment for his services as their lawyer.... I didn't understand. I asked Atticus why he did it like that and he said something about caring for otheer people. Atticus said that even though they were poor, the Cunningham's had other ways of paying him. I guess he was right. We got little suprises of firewood, holly, and various other items. Atticus said that it was out of compassion that he didn't charge them money. I think Atticus knew where the cunninghams are coming from and totally understood that he would get paid back in another way.
Walter.... what a dirty boy. I wouldn't wanna touch him with a ten-foot pole. Ick! I was at school showin him who was boss and Jem interrupted me! I couldn't believe it. I was about to sock Jem one too. Jem asked Walter if he wanted to come to our house for dinner. I couldn't stand it! I didn't want that boy to come eat with us. Everyone knew his family was poor. He couldn't even afford lunch and wouldn't take the teacher's money when she offered it to him. I guess Jem felt bad for Walter. Again, compassion prevails. One of these days I wanna actually understand what it feels like to be able to go through events and be compassionate to others. To tell you the truth, deep down I did feel a little sorry for walter, even though I didn't show it at all.
Jem must have to be my role model, even if the things he does frighten me. I can't believe he wanted to go back to the Radley place to get his pants off the fence. He's a brave one. I don't think I could ever even think of going back there by myself- even if it was daylight! I had a feeling that I HAD to go back with him, no matter how scared I actually was. I respect jem, he risked getting into trouble with the radley's just to try and make atticus happy.....
I have total respect for who I am as a person. Nobody can tell me what to do. So what if I am a little bigger than everyone and I use this size to my advantage? When Uncle Jack asked me if I had ever wanted to be a lady, I answered not particularly. I am just happy with the way I am. I swear and I'm a tomboy. I like it this way though. I don't think I care what other people think of me. I'm perfectly fine like this.
Gosh, I never knew Atticus was such a great shot. That dog had no idea what was coming to him, poor thing. I was talking to Jem and he said that Atticus had never told no one about his shooting skills. Said he was too ppeaceful and tranquil. That he would only use it if it was needed. This makes me wonder why Atticus didn't want to teach us how to use our guns we just got. I think he would be a wonderful teacher....
Jem sure got what he was askin for- trouble. There isn't really a law saying you can't go whack up a person's lawn and bushes.... but I think that his punishment was justice on the part of Atticus and Mrs. Dubose. Having to read to Mrs. Dubose for that month and a week wasn't pleasant for him nor I. The little fits she often went into.... and just waiting for the alarm clock to go off was tougher and tougher each time. (Probably because Jesse or Mrs. Dubose made Jem and I saty longer. Dare I say, I was sure glad to get out of there. Why I went, I don't know. To accompany Jem probably. I couldn't make him do that all by himself. I don't know, he did break my baton......
When Calpurnia took us to her church one sunday we didn't know what to expect. We couldn't go to our own chucrh because no one trusted us to our own devices. Jem and me thought that the negro church was very strange and coulden't understand why the had no books. But me and Jem respected them and said nothing about how wierd they all are.
