Journal Entry for To Kill A Mocking Bird chapters 4-9 post 2

From the perspective of Scout

Everyone is acting different now a days. Ever since I started school no one has been acting the same except for me. I thought I knew all of them very well but I guess I was wrong. Even Atticus is acting different and I reckon adults were suppose to stay the same forever.

Everyday Jem tells me I'm getting to girly. I sometimes wonder if he forgot I am a girl. I once saw him rolling in mud over the winter. I told him it was gross and he started nagging at me saying to go back to my old self. But maybe I am getting to girly. But he should still treat me the same if I am a girl or not.

Whenever someone talks to me they always call Atticus a ****** lover. Once my own cousin started calling him that. who ever calls him that is lucky because Atticus told me not to fight, it's for uncivilized people. But that is not all I recently just learned about how he was one-shot finch back in his day. I am still stunned from that. But I am puzzled why he didn't want us to know it.

Calpurnia has been the weirdest. She actually misses me whenever I go to school. Our usual fights happen no more. She will never get angry at me ether or she will actually believe me. I wonder if Atticus told her to stop arguing with me or she wants to be a big influence in my life. I also wonder how she actually feels about me.

This family is getting weirder by the day. What will happen when Jem and I grow up will things still change or go back to being the same? I guess I have to find out by waiting.

  1. I really like this!Especially when you said on your last paragraph, " This family is getting weirder by the day". The only thing I did not like was your entry.
