Today was the weirdest day ever. It felt as if the whole day I was inaudible. The only time people actually talked to me was when me, and Jem were taking a short stroll beyond the Radley Place. It wasn't actually short per say, but to me it felt like we have been walking for centuries, but when I asked Jem how long we have been walking he had said 10 minutes. When we first past the Radley place I felt as I was Inconspicuous. Whenever I passed by the house I always felt a weird presence, but for today there wasn't. When me and Jem Got as far 1 and a half miles away from the Radley place was when we saw the dog named Tim Johnson. We saw Tim Johnson from almost 2 miles away. It had foam coming out of its mouth and it had a limp. Jem said it was a mad dog, and when I thought about it I felt as if I was in great peril. We both ran and told Cal, but she thought we both were pulling her leg. We took where Tim Johnson was, and she started to panic, she told everybody, she even went over to the Radley Place and tried to tell them, but as usual they wouldn't reply. She called and told Atticus, but i remember before and of this happened Cecil Jacobs was making fun of me, and Atticus. When Atticus, and the chief of Police in Maycomb came The police gave Atticus a gun, and from almost 2 miles away he shot Tim Johnson. Suddenly everything I though about Atticus was a lie, but I didn't care, because the next day I asked Ms. Maudie about Atticus, and she had said that when Atticus was young he was called "One shot Finch". From then on I would never contradict Atticus again.
I've always want a brand new baton. Even if I knew it was for girls. Everyday when we would to a certain part of town we would have to pass Mrs. Dubose house. She was the meanist, oldist, and most horrific person I have ever seen in my life. One day when Jem finally got my baton we passe by Mrs. Dubose house. He went crazy, and destroyed all of Mrs. Dubose flowers, and snapped my new baton in half. All I could think of at the time was why would you do that. Later that evening Atticus came, and asked Jem if he ha done that, and Jem said yes, that evening Jem had to go to Mrs. Dubose house and apologies. The next day we had to go to Mrs. Dubose's house and read to her. When we got to her house i saw that she was the nastiest person I've seen ever. After the torture of me and Jem going to her house that night we have found out that she had passed away. We also foun out that she was very ill, she was addicted to morphine. That night I thought about her, and could never forgive myself about the things I had said about her. I'm sorry Mrs. Dubose.
As soon as Jem turned twelve he insisted that I stop pestering him, and act like a girl. From then on I would have to always hang out with Cal. That sunday we went to Cal's church call First Purchase. We went there and found out that Cal has 2 different ways of talking, and I had asked her why she talks like that. She said if she doesn't she would feel out of place. I asked her if someday I can come to her real house, an she said yes, any time. I felt that me and Cal's relationship have been getting better an better.

I think that you did a nice job writing in the perspective of Scout. Next time you should bold the vocab words so Mrs. G knows where they are. Also you should make better transitions between different parts of the book. Overall I think that you did a great job!

I like how you started off this post. You did well at making it seem like Scout. You might have wanted to talk more about Scout passing the Radley Place. Also say more about what she thinks of her Dad being such a good shot.
