journal #3 perspective of Ms.Maudie

It's the first time it snowed ever in Maycomb since 1885. I awoke to the sound of Jem, and Scout debating whether they should make a snowman. They said that it would be hard, because the snow that they had was already melting, because it wasn't enough. The thought of my flowers freezing makes me sad. That morning I did everything I could to make them not freeze. I even asked Jem, and Scout Finch to take the snow that had been adjacent to my flowers. They said that they would take it and try to make a snowman. When they started making the Snowman it was hard for them, because it was too little. I was Ingenuous about leaving my flowers with a furnace. That day I chose to leave my flowers with a furnace so they wont freeze to death.

That night I woke up to the smell of everything burning. I smelt all my flowers burning. All I could think of at that time was, what is happening what is this smell, why is this happening to me. I suddenly hear the rest of the neighbor hood shouting and yelling at me to get out. I was completely isolated in my own piece of mind. I finally got up and went outside. I see the Finch's in front of my house awaiting for my arrival. When i got to them I was completely perplexed. That night something weird happened Scout was acquainted by Boo Radley.

The next morning Scout came to my house to ask how I was doing. I said I was doing fine. I really didn't care I wanted my house to get smaller anyway. I told her that. I also told her that the outhouse in the back was always bothering me, but the only problem was that all my flowers got burnt down, but who cares its a fresh new start.

I think that you did a great job with writing in Ms. Maudie's perspective and i also think that you did a good job incorporating the vocab into the blog post. I think though that you should of focused on one part of the story, like her house being burn down, instead of giving an overall look at what happened in those chapters.

Nice Job!

You did a great job writing like Mrs. Maudie. I liked how you used the vocab words. I think that you could have explained more about what you meant by Scout was perplexed by Boo Radley. Also you should have talked more about the fire.
