chapter 14

 

     Atticus is defending some negro in court today. When ever Jem and I are walking around in town we can hear wispors of our names to were ever we go. One day I decided to ask Atticus what rape is. He didn't really explain. Also while we were going to church with Calpurnia and the same subject had come up again. Aunt Alexandra wont let me go back next Sunday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     Today when I was about to go to sleep I had heard something under my bed. I looked and it was Dill! He said he had run away from home because his mother and father didnt pay enough attention to him. Jem had told Atticus about Dill being under my bed. But before telling anybody he had eaten some food. He also slept over for the night also.

Chapter 12

 

     Today Jem demanded that I should act more like a girl. I took that preety harshly and was also upset. But, I was very eager and was looking forward to see Dill in the summer. But, Dill will not be coming to Maycomb this summer. He said in a letter that I had recieved from him that he has a new father and will be staying with his family.

 

 

     Calpurnia made us go to church today. Not just any old church but a colored church. A lot of people didnt know how to read, so they just sang. Zeebo, who is Calpurnias oldest son, reads and the rest of the church echos him. It was very different being in this atmosphere, but everyone was very nice!
