Perspective of Atticus

I woke up this morning to the scream of scout. I ran to her room to see what was wrong and I found her look out the window with Jem. It hasn’t snowed here scenes the 1880’s so know one really new what it was. When we were eating we got a phone call that said there was know school today because it was snowed in. Jem and Scout went out side I saw them taking snow from Miss. Maudie’s yard. I thought maybe there going to do a snowball fight or something, but then they got some mud too. I watched as Jem worked with what he had. At first the snowman looked like Mr. Avery but then they put a hat on it and that changed everything.

That night

I ran out side something was wrong I went over to Miss. Maudie’s house, the whole place was on fire. I see people helping her save her furniture, and the fire department came. Good thing the came when they did because the fire would have burned down a lot more houses. The next morning she look happy she was telling her kids that she wanted to remodel the house anyways and now she has the chance to do it.

Scout got into a fight at school because one of the kids said that I defend black people. I told her never to get in a fight again. My brother came to town (uncle Jack) for Christmas every year then we all go up to the finches landing to see Alexandra and her husband. I found out the Francis was staying there too. Scout and him got in a fight because he called me a “nigger lover”. I got really mad at her for that.
