So, this weekend’s reading was actually pretty good. The whole thing when Jem, Scout, and Dill went to the Radley’s house to look into a window was really exciting! I thought, though, that it was a little weird that Jem’s pants were sewn up and everything, like whoever did it knew that Jem was coming back! I think that Jem is really tough, but at the same time he has this sensitive and scared side to him. I think that because he is the oldest, he feels that he has to take the lead and be tough, but you kind of see him change a little bit. I’m not the oldest in my family, but I see the same in my older siblings as I do in Jem.
Something that I thought was cute was when Dill kissed Scout because he was “engaged” to her. I remember when I was little and boys would either say, “EW COOTIES” or they would be attached to you!
I also thought that it was really spooky that Jem and Scout found two clay figures that represented them. I really want to know who was putting those items in the tree. But then Mr. Radley cemented the tree because it was supposedly dying. Jem asked Atticus if the tree was dying, and Atticus said no. Jem had cried for the whole evening because he was so upset. I thought that was really moving and sad because he showed a sensitive side to him.
IF YOU HAVEN’T READ CHAPTER 8 OR 9 DON’T READ THIS!!!!!
Chapter 8 was so good! It snowed in Alabama, and Jem and Scout had never seen snow! It was so funny that they didn’t know how to make a snowman, and Jem and Scout decided to make their own version of a snowman. They made it look big, like Mr. Avery! But they had to change the snowman because Atticus didn’t want Jem and Scout making fun of their neighbors. It was so weird that they didn’t know what snow was like. And Mr. Avery said that winter came when children behaved badly! That was really dumb!
But then it got really sad when Miss Maudie’s house burned down! But Miss Maudie was a strong lady and she wasn’t at all sad that her home was gone. I wish I had that strength! The weird thing, though, was when Boo Radley was possibly the one who had put a blanket around Scout’s shoulders! That’s so scary!
I’m almost done with chapter 9, but so far I’ve read about how Scout was fighting because people were disgracing her because her father was defending a black man. Atticus told Scout they he wanted to defend the man because of personal reasons. I admire her father because he’s a compassionate man and he values his relationships. I love how Atticus and Scout have a really close relationship.
Right now, it’s Christmas, and Scout is cussing way too much! I’ll blog about the rest later!
