Scout's Takeover
Hey! It's me Scout, Jem's little sister. I'm proud to say my father Atticus is awesome. Recently my dad shot a dog.He had perfect aim!I was so astonished that he was capable of doing that! YES, I cant wait to go to school and brag about how cool my dad is. Cecil Jacobs will shut up now! Oh, by the way Cecil is so annoying and I will beat him up everyday if I have to.I'm just glad that Jem and I were able witness Atticus with a gun. Even though the dog is dead, I want to thank it for letting my brother and I to know that my dad is old but is as strong as a bull.
Woah...My Dad is Cool !?
Okay...so I was able to get a new air rifle!I was so excited when I go this and asked Atticus if he can teach us how to shoot but, "shockingly" he refused. I decided for Scout and I to go out but, I saw a a mad dog barking and running down the street. It was so loud and looked crazy. Calpurnia was the one that told Atticus that a psychotic dog was on our block. He came out our house like a superhero. He took a rifle ans shot the dog spot on. My mouth literally dropped when I saw my father shoot. Whoa my dad isn't an old dude, he can do some cool things. I really admire Atticus that he was able to do this ,but how come he hid his talent from us?
I Have To Go Back
I'm feel so confused and shocked at this point of my life. Yesterday I decided to get my pants back from the Radley house. I left home at night and I had Scout as my lookout. I ran, disentangled my pants from the gate and ran home as fast as I could. When I got my pants back my rip in my jeans were sewed back together. I didn't tell Scout because I wouldn't want o scare her. I kept on wondering if it was Boo. My thoughts became tears because I was so scared.This had scarred me for a week and I haven't spoken to anyone.

I Lost My Mind
Dill and I were always the ones to plan out ways to see Boo Radley. We decided to give him a note and leave it by his back window. We agreed to give the note during the evening, and Scout tagged along.We made our way to their house by the back gate and as I went up the steps they started to squeal. I tried to reach the back window but I saw someone and heard footsteps. Dill, Scout and I ran back home as fast as we could.As I was running I realized my pants were gone and were attached to the back gate. I really didn't care for them at the time because my life is way more important.I am so thankful I made it alive, but I was so close to seeing Boo Radley.My heart literally dropped to my stomach!
