Chapters 13-15
Perspective of Dill "Charles" Harris
Diary,
I escaped from Meridian, thanks alot Jem for tellin' Atticus. Its okay now Jem, I'm a not mad. My infallible trip brought me to Scout and Jem, I wonder what troubles we'll get into. We got into one, well kinda... we snuck out at 10:00 in the night to check on Atticus, we din't get into trouble but it was a preoccupation of Atticus us going n' gettin home safe... that was fun. I think Scouts aunty din't like it though, bu the look of 'er face. I don't think she likes me much... but Scout n' Jem don't seem too care. 'Reckon Scout antagonizes her as much as I'd like to antagonize Boo Radley. We haven't had many thoughts 'bout that though since I got here. It's been mostly about Atticus and a case he's defending.
I dont want Scout askin' me more questions of why I ran away... I mean the first story I told them, my fake reason... it was a lie. I guess I didn't really have a reason , I just feel like they don't need me.... I like it here - with Scout. Scout she's been tellin' me all about what's been happening since I was gone. She and Jem went to church with their maid/ nanny Calpurnia or somethin'. Scouts aunt didn't like that much. But really that lady seems to hate everything Scout does. I'd like to extract the little child she has in 'er, maybe get her to change, to be like Atticus.
Atticus accordin' to Scout has been changing. ...I see him the same. I am pensive about why Atticus had all those men around him, and why or what they were talkin' about. I should've asked Jem when scout was asleep, he oughta no more since he's the oldest. If I'd done that I wouldv'e acquired that information 'n not been so confused about last night. There's Scout calling' my name, reckon were going somewhere... naw... I think they're beginin to eat breakfast, I should probably go. I'll write back more about what happens in the next three days.... somethin's bound to happen. And Anyways today Atticus left early -he went downtown... I should hurry I think we'll soon be there too.

Claudia,
ReplyDeleteAll of your posts are done extremely well and are very hard to find mistakes on. You did a great job at making sure you included the language that was used during that time. I try to do that on mine but it never sounds right. You journal was done very well. I couldn't really find anything that needed to be improved on it.
