Dear journal

I was walking home from school today and I looked in the hole of the tree and seen a

piece of unchewed gum. I ate it but Jem told me to spit it out and if I didn't he

would tell Cal. As we were walking by the Radleys place I reached into the hole and

seen another pointy piece of tinfoil. We ran home, opened the tinfoil,and seen

really old Indian heads. I said what if that was someone hiding spot and if we

should keep them. Jem suggested that we would keep them and ask if it was anyone if

it was theirs. Dill came the next day we usually played a lot of games when he was

around but we all got tried of the same games. I suggested that we get into a tire

and roll it down a hill I think Jem got mad at me because he pushed me hard down the

hill. The tire rolled all the way down to the Radleys place luckily I got out the

tire. I told Jem to go get it but he was too scared we made fun of him a little then

he went to the gate quickly got the tire and bought it back. We played another game

call Boo Radley he was the scary neighbor that no one knew about. Atticus asked us

what we were playing Jem said we were doing nothing because if he knew what we were

playing he would get mad, but I think he already knows. Jem kicked me out of the

games because he got tired of my nagging so I went to be with Ms. Maudie she was

nice she would let us play in the yard as long as we would be careful of her

flowers. I asked her what does she thing of Boo Radley. She first tells me that his

real name is Aurthur and that she knew him when he was little and he was a nice kid,

and he would hurt anything. She also thinks he is still alive. Dill and Jem tried to

give a note to Boo that says to come out and hang out with us but Atticus caught

them and told us that we should respect his privacy.
