To Kill Mocking Bird Post 4

Perspective of Jem

Today Scout and I got air rifles and Atticus didn't tell us how to shoot them but our uncle Sam showed us how. We figured that Atticus didn't know how to do anything that well and we were ashamed because all the other kids parents shot guns and did cool stuff like that but not our dad. Well that's what we thought until a mad dog showed up on our street. Me and Scout spotted it out and told Cal she warned Atticus and he went and got the sheriff. When the sheriff and Atticus got back the mad dog was right in front of the Radley place. It was a clear shot to shoot and the sheriff didnt want to be the one who shot the dog so he gave Atticus the gun. Me and Scout were shocked we thought he didnt even know how to shoot a gun or maybe he didnt all the sheriff did was hand Atticus the gun. Atticus slowlym walked accross the street with the gun in his hand. He rose it up and shot the dog, the dog didnt know what hit him and just fell over and was dead. Scout and I were shocked a one shot kill. We never knew he could do such a thing, we thought he was lazy and never did any of that stuff. But then we heard he would shoot 15 shots at 15 birds and complained if he missed one. His old nickname was one shot Finch.
A couple days later Me and Scout were walking to where we normally meet our dad after we work and I was going to Buy Scout a baton. So on the way there we always have to walk by this really mean ladys house and her name is Mrs. Dubsoe. She always makes fun of me and Scout for bring black and this time she really pushed it. After I bought the baton for Scout on the way back I took it from her and wacked every single one of her flowers to the ground. Then I broke the baton and left there there and went home. I knew I was going to get in trouble for it and my punishment was I had to go over to her house everyday after school and on saturdays and read to her for 2 hours. When I was doing that I noticed that she was very sick and we didnt know what was wrong with her until we found out that she was a bad drug addict and she gets sick when she doesnt do them.
