Perspective of Atticus
The kids school years are coming to the end, and I am surprised that Scout is happy about that. Before the school year started, Scout was so excited about school and after the first couple days, she told me she didn't want to go anymore. On the last day of school, Scout came home, and she was chewing some gum, I thought that was wierd but I didnt say anything to her about it. In the summer, I love watching the kids play. They are so happy because their friend, Dill, is coming today from his dad's house. Dill comes to visit his Aunt Rachel, who is our next door neighbor. Jem and Scout love to play with Dill, the second he gets here they start planning out their whole summer.
When they are playing, it is not always unanimous on what they want to do, and poor Scout never gets her way, becasue Dill always says to her, "if you dont wanna' do what we're doing, then go sit by yourself," But Scout is a tough one, and takes it like a man, and does what they do. A few weeks into the summer, Jem and Scout come to me with 2 very shinny pennys that are dated 1900, and 1906. I say that those are very inportant to someone, and that they should leave them where they found them, becasue someone must have cleaned them up.
One day, I saw the kdis playing around the Radley's house. I asked them what they were doing, and they said that they wanted to ask Mr. Arthur Radley to come out of his house, so they cam meet them. I told them to stop tormenting the poor man, and leave him alone, and that he evades (evasion is the vocab word) people for a very important reason. A few weeks after I saw the kids by the Radley's house, I saw them playing in the front yard, and they were acting very mysterious, and I saw them with a pair of scissors. I think that they should know that scissors are not for playing with. I asked them what they were doing, and they didn't say anything, and I suspected that they were playing "the Radley's." So I just took the scissors.
A few days later, it was Dill's last day. That night, the kids and I were at Ms. Rachel's house, saying our last good byes to Dill. As me and Ms. Rachel were talking, the kids said they were going to go play, and I didn;t mind, they wanted to have their last play time with dill. So Ms. Rachel and I were just talking about what a great time this summer has been, and just making small talk about and different quibble (quibbling is the vocab word). After talking for about 30 minutes, we heard a gun shot, so we ran, and everyone was in front of the Radley house. It was a tyranny thing. Everyone said that a black person went onto their property, and Mr. Radley missed him when he was shooting, but he scarred the black out of him, so he became white. The kids came to the house too, and Jem had no pants on. I asked him what the sam hill happened to his pants, and Dill stepped in and said "we were playin' a strip poker game, and Jem lost so he had to take off his pants." I told him he needed to go get his pants back so he went to Dill's house.
After Dill left, the kids started school again. On the first day of school, the kids came home with a nice white gold pocket watch that didn't work. The watch had a pocket knife attached to it. I said it could be worth 10$.
