Journal #5

Perspective: Scout

Dear Journal

Jem is getting older growing up its seems to me that I am not really maturing faster

than he is. Cal took us to church one day and she talks weird. I mean she talks

weird when she around them. When she seen them she talked like them but when she was

around us she speak educated. When we came home from church I seen my Aunt

Alexandra on the porch she says she is going to stay here for "a while". That could

be mouths or even years. I don't have a deep connection with her we have very short

conversations. She and Atticus told me that this was good because they think i need

a feminine influence. Personally i think she should be here nothing bads going on,

and the bad thing about her being here is that she wants to get rid of Cal. I asked

Atticus id i could go to Cals house but Aunt Alexandra answer the question for me

and said no. I told her i didn't asked her and Atticus told me to apologize and

after i did i went to my room. Atticus and Aunt Alexandra got into a fight about

that. I thought they were talking about me and i felt like running away but they

were talking about Cal. Also that night me and Jem got into a fight because he said

if i wouldn't annoy auntie he would spanked me he thinks he could spank me he does

not have that right. So I tackled him and he punched me then i tackle again and

Atticus heard us and told me to go to bed. He was the one who stared it. When i went

to go to bed i felt something I told Jem to see what was under and it was dill he

ran away from home. We got him something to eat and when to bed. Atticus didn't tell

his Auntie which was good so he wouldn't get in trouble.
