perspective of Scout

When I woke up and heard that Jem say that it was snowing I jumped out of bed with excitement. I was fanatical because I have ever seen or been in snow. It hadn't even been this cold until 1884. We went out side and Jem thought that we should make a snowman. When we went to go gather some snow the ingenious Mr. Avery thought that it was our fault for the snow. Our bad behavior caused the bad weather and I thought that was wacko. We made a snowman and after we made Jem and I realized that it looked just like Mr. Avery. It had a fat stomach and Jem and I loved it. But we decided to change it so Mr. Avery wouldn't have a heart attack.

That night was incredibly scary. Atticus woke me up in the middle of the night and I looked at with a perplexed expression and asked what was going on. He told that miss Maudie has was burning down and suddenly was a awake and alert because I love Miss. Maudie. I was also worried because her house was adjacent to ours. We went outside and it was freezing cold so Jem and I tried to stay together as the fire burned through the inside of the house. I felt isolated just watching everyone but out the fire and i was alone in the street watching it. When the fire was put out we walked back inside and realized that we had a brown wool blanket on our shoulders. I didn't even know how it got there. Atticus didn't believe us but I think its Boo Radley.

At school everyone is calling my Daddy a "nigger-lover" just because he is defending Tom Robinson in a case that I don't know about. That made me so mad that I thought about punching the kids right the the face but then I remembered that Atticus wants me avoid hurting people. I listened to Atticus and just walked away from the kids that made fun of him. I just really want to know what the case is about.
