To Kill A Mocking Bird Post 5

Perspective of Scout

We got home today and found out that our Aunt Alexendra was going to be staying with us for a while. And in Maycomb a while could be a couple days to years. She told me that I am to much like a Tom boy and she said that she is going to turn me into a real girl. She said no more wearing overalls it time to grow up and be a lady. I thought she was crazy when she told me to grow up when im in first grade and just started school. Jem told me that you should probabloy just listen to her and just do what she wants you to do while she is living here. When she leaves then you can go back to being whatever you want to be and wear overalls again. There was one thing that really struck my mind was when she said that you lack the pride of your father Atticus. As the trial on Tom Robinson went on and Atticus was defending him as lawyer. A couple days later I asked Atticus what rape was and when the sunday of church was coming up. He got mad at me and Aunt Alexandra told me I could not go to church on sunday for saying that. Aunt Alexandra also tried to convince Atticus to get rid of Calpurnia. This really showed that she wanted to control our life and I did not like it when she tried to but Atticus said that Jem and I had to respect her and listen to what she would say. On a rugular night I went in my room and layed on my bed and found Dill hiding under it. I called Jem into the room and I asked him what are you doing here and he said that he ran away because he wasnt getting enough attention. Jem went straight to Atticus and told him that Dill ran away and was here. Atticus tells Dills Aunt that he was here and why. Atticus was guarding the jail and I heard people yelling so I got up and Jem and Dill followed me and men were telling Atticus to get out of the way. After long conversation Atticus took us home.
