TKAM #6 Perspective: Mr. Ewell

I was trying to figure out what Atticus was doing when he called up my eldest daughter Mayella to the stand, and was asking her questions that really had nothing to do with...nothing. At first there was no sweat I thought Atticus was just running out of things to argue and this was all going to be over soon.

Then Atticus started making me very nervous when he kept asking Mayella was she beaten. Atticus finally got to his point that made me scared, he made a point that Tom Robinson's left arm is useless. Therefore he could not have strangled, held down, and punched the left side of her face. I started to get nervous, but then I thought to my self...this is all white jury, they have never favored in a colored mans side, I have nothing to worry about.

Mayella`s face started to get very red and was filled with lies and guilt, I could tell everyone was starting to notice. At this point all I could think of was how im going to get my revenge on her if she cracked. I think they the tables started to turn and everyone was now starting to think the truth...that I did it.

To Kill A Mockingbird #5 Perspective: Aunt Alexandra

I could not believe my ears when Atticus asked me if I could live with them for a little while to help make Scout more lady like. I just could not believe it, I did not know how to take it, like if I should help out or not. This was because after all of these years he just now asks me to try to help Jean Louise become a proper young lady. I mean shes alomst twelve years old now and still acts like a dirty little boy! I already know this is going to be a tough one. Gosh, she curses like crazy, she dresses in overalls, and he gets into fights! She will have to be nice and clean everyday and not play dirty and I’m pretty sure that will never happen. Atticus doesn’t raise his children correctly, and I know this because, if he did Jean Louise and Jeremy wouldn’t be a disgrace to our family. Atticus should have stood up and been a man, and married after his wifes death. If he would have done this then Jean Louise could have been influenced to be more like a lady or at least a little girl. For Christmas Atticus got her an a BB gun! What kind of present is that for a little girl? He should have at least got her a tea set or something like that. If he wants her to start acting like a lady he has to start treating her like a lady. Not letting her run wild like a little grimlin like a wild hound.

To Kill A Mockingbird #4 Perspective: Mrs.Dubose

Once again Scout, and Jem the annyoing little`uns passed by my house. I asked where they were going they said to town to get some stuff. I thought I would give them a little bit of a hard time like always. Well I am not trying to be mean its just because I am just getting over Morphine addict, and I have these fits and I dont know how much longer I`m going to be here on this planet. And my one wish, or goal you could say I want to do is die free, brave, and sober.

Today as Jem and Scout passed by like I said, I started in talking about Atticus, and how he is a nigger-lover, and is one of them "dirty trash". I could tell I really did it this time because Jems face turned as red as a ripe tomato. I felt a little bad after not much though, because I had to get that off of my chest. Scout and Jem walked off after that towards town where they were heading to.

About half an hour passes and I started going into my withdrawl. Jesse hellped me into bed, and then I was lost, its like my body had a mind of its own. This was because I was addicted to morphine, and so my body was used to it. But since I have not had it in a while, I go into these fits where I lose control of everything. When I get out of it and come back out onto the porch, I noticed all of my plants were ripped, and cut up, and there was a boton a little grimy, but a nice one broken in half on my yard...Jem. I told Atticus that I wanted Jem to come fix my plants, and read to me outloud for two hours, everyday, for two months.

The first day he came I could tell he did not like it, trying to skip words and sentances in the book, but I caught him.

To Kill A Mockingbird #3 Perspective: Miss Maudie

I am very sad and disappointed that my little old adjacent house burnt down. I still am in shock and cannot really believe that this really happened. All of my belongings lost in the flames, all because of that stupid furnace. I am just happy nothing else caught on fire, like Atticus`s house, and made everything have even more perplexity than it already does. At the same time I am very sad for our loss of Mr. Avery. Scout and Jem told me some ingenuous diversions about how big and scary the fire was for them, and to see Mr. Avery come in but not out was very impacting on them. I have to give it to Atticus though, because if he did not wake up Jem and Scout they would have be isolated in the house, and if the fire was to spread they would have slept right through it and turned out ashes, like Mr. Avery. I`m still debating if a good thing that came out of this is that I have a new house living with Stephanie, different because I am used to my house, but I think I can manage. I only have one question really, why did this have to happen right when I was starting to enjoy everything, like the nice cool weather that dropped in with a little rain and snow? I mean come on really its the first snow fall since 1885, we should be able to enjoy these days not have to worry about a house burning to the crisp.

To Kill A Mockingbird #2 Perspective: Jem

My name is Jem, you would know me as Scouts older brother. Scout my little sister is very annoying, but im worried about her. Im afraid the freak down the street, Boo Radley, is going to capture her. There are many stories about Boo, but the main one is that he is locked away in his house by his father. He has never been seen since he is little he is in his mid thirtys now. I am worried because I can tell Scout has been hiding something from me lately, and I will figure it out one way or another.

I finally figured out what Scout has been hiding from me, because one day she came home chewing a huge wad of gum and had a couple pennys. Right when I saw it I told her to spit it out right now, and asked her where she got it from. She told me it was inside the tree in the Radley`s yard. I could not believe my ears. Everyone knows that if you touch Boo Radleys tree or anything you are expected to be killed by him. I told Scout that she really should not have done that.

On the last day of summer, Scout and I went to Ms. Rachels house to say our goodbyes to Dill for the summer. On our way there we pasted by the Radley's house, and I got stuck in between the fence to their backyard. I ended up having to take off my pants to get out of it and carry on in my shorts. Then suddenly I heard a sound that was familiar to a gun shot. Later that night I had a long fight with scout to go get my pants back over at the Radley`s place. She said she would tell Atticus on me if I did. But I needed them so I went anyway. When I entered their backyard I saw my pants, but they wernt still caught on the fence. The wierd thing about the pants was that they were folded neatly, and they were sewed nicely like they were brand new. I had a very weird feeling about this so i ran over got them and left, and I figured I would think about this when I was safe away from the Radley house.

To Kill A Mockingbird #1 Perspective Burris Ewell

It was my first day of first grade at school. My teacher was Miss Caroline, it did not take me very long to tell that she was very annoying. Today was my first and only day of school. My family and I only go to school one day of the school year, and that is the first day. Miss Caroline was one of those teachers that I knew I had to put my foot down before she did, so i decided right out of the shoot to be as tough as possible. I don`t even know how all the other kids can make it through the entire school year with teachers like Miss Caroline.

Right when I arrived at the school, and Miss Caroline and I met, And she said I had cooties and was dirty I just wanted to lay my fist in her face. I mean she thinks she can boss me around and tell me to go home and take a bath. No one can boss me around Burris Ewell is a man of himself. She told me to go wash with lye soap. What the heck is lye soap? Everyone thought I had poopworms because my neck was a dark grey color, my fingernails are black into the quick, and the back of my hands are rusty like the a 1815 chevey. After Miss Caroline told me to go home and bathe I wanted to just walk out of the classroom, but I couldnt go out letting her win, so I told her that she wasnt kicking me out I was leaving.

Im pretty sure everyone in that class hates me, maybe even the entire school. The thing we have in common is I hate them too! Little chuck is the only person who in a way stood up for me, and when Miss Caroline grabbed my arm he said that wasnt a good idea, and he was right.
