Chapter 17

I am pleased to see that even these three children know right from wrong, while the rest of the town doesn't. The children have been segregated at school due to having the right, non-racist mentality, as I have heard the children talking bad of Jem, Scout, and Dill as they pass my house each day. They sat in the colored section in the courtroom. These three children have become some of the most mature and smart characters in Maycomb. I wish that the rest of the town would look at them as models for good human nature.

Chapter 16

As the family sat around the breakfast table, they have begun to discuss racial matters in the town of Maycomb. During this Atticus states that an 8 year old managed to bring everyone to their senses. He was referring to how Scout had begun to realize as to how bad racism is. Even I have noticed people in town talking about Scout. It isn't every day that you hear about an 8 year old child teaching older people a life lesson.

Chapter 15

Poor Atticus. I hear about everything that goes on in this town despite my quiet nature. He now has to deal with the fear of angry mobs coming to his house. He is not very safe at this point in time. Hopefully people will choose church on Sunday opposed to drinking. That is the only way that Atticus will not have to worry about an angry mob at his house. If the people don't go drinking, then they will not be as tempted to form a group and find Atticus.

Chapter 14

I feel very sorry for the Finch family. Especially for Scout and Jem. Their father is being looked down upon for defending Tom Robinson. However, this is a good deed. Because of this, the entire town looks down upon the Finch children as well. People stare and make snotty comments about them and they have no care as to if the children hear it or not. Society in Maycomb is very disgusting.

Chapter 12

I am beginning to realize a large change in Jem. He is becoming much more mature. He does a wonderful job of looking after Scout and protecting her. From my home, I could hear Scout's anger about Calpurnia addressing Jem as, "Mister Jem." That is a true sign of him becoming more mature and growing as a person.

Chapter 7

 The children appeared to be confused when they found the pennies in the knot hole.  I decided to put some more things in it. Here is a picture of what it looked like after I put things in it. I hope that the children appreciate me after this. I really am a nice guy. I think that this will finally make them accept me.

Chapter 4



This is the tree where I put the pennies. All of the children think that I am mean and evil. I want to make the children happy. If only they would realize that I really am a nice man. I am caring and I actually have a heart. Sooner or later they will open their hearts and take note of my kindness.
