Perspective: Scout
My dad is a lawer and is very good with his job. And we are livivng in the great deppression so we are lucky to be making it right now because of money problems. I live with him and my brother and our house keeper Calpurnia spends most of her time at our house. I didnt get to meet my mom because she died when I was two. My brother is four years older than me and he has some memories of mom so he had more feelings than I did. There is a kid who lives next to me and his name is Chris Baker Harris but everyone just calls him Dill. We act out all of our stories that we read just to have fun. Dill got bored one day and dared Jem to go an get our freak neighbor Boo Radely to come out of his house. My brother Jem got freaked out and was to scared to get him yo come out and so he just slapped the side of his house instead. Now that summer is over Dill has to go back to his real home because he just comes here to visit in the summer. Then I have to go to school and meet my new teacher Ms Caroline. When we were reading in class I was the only one who knew how to read and my teacher was mad at me for some reason. She said for me to tell my dad to stop teaching me how to read and I told her my dad never taught me how to read and she got very mad. At lunch, I rubbed Walter’s nose in the dirt for getting me in trouble, but Jem stoped me and invites Walter to lunch. then when we get back to the house i got really mad at walter and was iritateing him and Calpurnia noticed and she took me into the kitchen and scolded me and she slaps me when i was close to getting back to the dinning room. after that when we got back to school, Miss Caroline becomes terrified when a tiny bug, or “cootie,” crawls out of a boy’s hair. that boys name was Burris Ewell who was from an even poorer family/clan then the Cunningham family/clan.

Hey Dale,
ReplyDeleteReview the blog requirements again. You have a great start to your blog, but you want to write more about her feelings and thoughts about events and people, rather than giving a summary from her perspective of what happened in the chapters you read.
DAlE,
ReplyDeleteI like how you mention every important aspect of last weeks reading. I also like how you stayed in character and only talked about things important to them.
I reccomend spell checking before you post and proof reading. it can useually improve the content of your overall piece. dont forget to add the 5 vocab words. Antother thing i think you can add is feeling and emotion. while reflecting back on events as a character describe how they were feeling.
-MAURO
I agree with Mauro about you stating all the important things that happened to the character. I also liked the fact that you showed a lot of how Scout really is in your entry.
ReplyDeleteSome things that I would recomend would to do more of what is happening to your character, instead of a summery (sp?). Also talking a little bit more about some of the characters you mention.
