Jem, Dill, and I all got to see Boo. We weren't planning on it, but on the night of the fire when he came out and put a blanket on me we all started talking. Nobody knows about this, but since everyone was so set on the fire and putting it out the three of us snuck off for a little to talk and hangout with Boo. We only got to hangout for a little bit because we didn't want to get caught or get Boo in trouble.
Boo is a really nice guy. We told him that we weren't trying to tourture him; we just wanted to meet him and talk. Jem also told him that we really missed the stuff he was putting in the tree for us, but we love all the things he gave us. While we were hanging out we even gave him out letter that we wrote to him. Boo was a normal guy just like all of us, and he said thank you for the letter and paying attention to him becuase nobody else does. He also told us that he hates being locked inside and any chance we get to communicate with him, he would really like us to.

Chapters 5-9
Dear Diary,
This morning I almost got in a fight with this boy Cecil Jacobs. He told me that Atticus was defending a Black Man. It made me very angry. I didn't know about it, so i asked Jem. He told me I had to talk to Atticus. When I asked Atticus I used a word he said was common that i shouldn't be using, but he also agreed that he is defending a Black Man. I questioned him looking for anwsers to the question why. Atticus told me he had to do it because if he didn't he couldn't hold his head up in town and he couldn't represent our country. I didn't really understand why he had to do what he did, but I figured it was better to just leave it at what I was told.
Later I got in a fight with my cousin Francis over the same situation. It was over people disapproving and having something to say about Atticus and what he was doing. I know I broke my promise to Atticus and I feel completely guilty, but both boys made me so angry I couldn't hold back and forgot all about my promise. I feel bad and Atticus doesn't know yet, but it makes me feel even worse that he doesn't know. Right now I'm in my room because I was hit and sent here as my punishment. Now I am thinking of ways to tell Atticus so I don't have a quilty concious.

Chapters 1-5

Dear Diary,
Today was my first day of school, and I’ve already started off on the wrong foot. It’s not my fault though. Walter Cunningham was the reason that Miss Caroline and I aren’t on good terms. I told her several times he was a Cunningham, but she wouldn’t listen to me. I thought I was being nice; I was just trying to tell her that he wouldn’t accept the money. She didn’t understand.
When I got home I told Atticus what had happened because I was rude to Walter at dinner. Atticus told me I was wrong. He said “You never understand a person until you consider thngs from his point of view…until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”. Atticus said this to me, which helped me realize Miss Caroline just didn’t understand me because she was new and that none of it was Walters fault. This is how my day went. Horrible!
