To Kill Mocking Bird Post 3

Perspective of Scout

The weather got very cold and people were saying it was me and Jem with out bad behavior that made the weather so bad. It was freezing like it was so could you could out some water in a glass and leave it outside and it would freeze into ice. I went into my room and it was very hard to fall asleep because it was below freezing inside our house even when we had the fire going. I finally fell asleep which felt like minutes when my Atticus woke me up telling me to hurry and get my clothes on. Atticus wouldn't tell me what was going on so I was completly clueless on what was going on untill he said that Miss Maudies house was burning and going down. It was so cold outside and Atticus told us to stay put in front of the Radleys place so we would be safe from the fire. Me and Jem were sitting in front of the Radleys place and so cold to not notice that someone had put a blanket over us to keep us warm. It didnt help much heck we didnt even notice that it was there untill we stood up to go back to the house. The fire at Miss Maudies was really bad the whole thing was almost gone because of the fire. Men were getting furniture out of the house while the fire rangers were putting out the fire. After it was all put out and there really wasnt much left of her house she said that she wanted to set it to fire for years because she wanted to have a bigger garden and that her garden would be the best of the best. I thought she was crazy when she said that it made me think that she purposely set fire to it and make it look like an accident but i wasnt. There were people helping cleean up the fire till about 5 am and thats when the last people started to leave.
