Perspective of Jem

I am so glad that school is finally over and I get to play all summer. Dill came back and I really enjoyed that because he is my friend and I have some one to hang out with. He is really hooked on to that Radley place. The three of us were playing a game where we rolled in a tire and when it was scouts turn she was rolled right to that front porch of the Radley house. That really scared me. After that we started a game where we imitated everyone in the Radley family. I thought it was pretty funny. Atticus got frustrated and thought that we were playing games to annoy Boo Radley and he asked what we were doing and I denied it.

I felt like Dill and I were becoming closer friends and I could tell that scout was feeling left out of our friendship. I felt bad but he is my age. So Scout just wandered from us started hangin out with the neighbor Miss. Maudie. Me and Dill tried puttin' a note in his when asking him if he wanted to get ice cream but Atticus caught us and told us to stop tormenting the old man. I guess he was right. I am just so curious and I dint understand why he doesn't come out of his house.

We listened to Atticus until it was Dill's last day in Maycomb. The stupidest decision I have ever made was to sneak in towards the Radley house and look in the window. It was Dill's and my idea and we brought scout to come along. We I peaked thought the window shutters at it was a dork house hen I saw the shadow of an man with a straw hat and this scared me to death. i instantly started to run and with Dill and Scout right behind be I heard a shotgun go off and it rattled the neighborhood. Going under the fence, my pants got caught so I just left them there and kept running. That was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me.

Sincerely,
Jeremy Finch
