Perspective of Dill

This week has been a roller coaster. I ran away from my house by my self a went 300 miles from Meridian to Maycomb. I had a couple of reasons to leave. They weren't very pensive people. I didn't get enough attention from my parents. They bought me whatever I wanted but just so I had some thing to do. They would buy me a book to read just so that I wouldn't bother them. They always wanted me to be playing out side and doing something. They would antagonize for not going to play outside like a boy is supposed to do. I was told that they loved me I it felt like they didn't mean it.

I acquired about thirteen dollars from my Ma's purse and bought a ticket to Maycomb be the Finch's was the only place that I felt safe. When I arrived I was exhausted. I hadn't taken a bath in days and I could hardly remember the last time I ate. I climbed through Scout's window and waited under her bed and it was torture to hear them eat dinner. When she came into her room she stepped on my hand and It hurt real bad. The next thing I know Jem is hitting me in the head with a broom. I emerged from the be and he stopped hitting me and they both gasped when they saw me. They were so surprised and they got me some food and I told them about my journey hear and I begged them not to tell my parents. I really did not want to go back the my moms house.

They gave me a place to stay and the next day we were back to normal, playing around in the tree house and thinking of plans to extract boo radley out of his house. I really like Scout and Jem and I would do anything to stay with them instead of my parents.
