I saw it. I saw everything. A man died in front of me. Tom Robinson was shot dead by the police while he was trying to escape. I feel so sorry for him. It was not his fault at all, he was innocent as he did not commit any crime.

What is with all there racism?? Just because he is a black and a nigger does not mean he is bad and he should not be treated in this way at all. I feel that i will do something about it. NO I WILL!! When i grow up, i am going to try to stop racism so that the blacks will be treated fairly.

There is going to be a court case soon. It is about Tom Robinson. I heard from my dad, Atticus that he he is going to court because he committed a serious offence. He raped Mayella Ewell. But he also told me that he knew that Tom is innocent and he will try all he can to prove his innocence. He also knew that it was a task that is near impossible to do. I am so proud of my father that he is trying and doing all he can to prove an innocent man that was wrongly accused. All the best to him on winning the case.

Its been so long since i last posted... Well life is pretty much the same in Maycomb. It is so boring, school is also boring as the things we learn there are so easy. One day, Jem came to and played with an old tyre. i wrapped myself and went inside it. The tyre then rolled into the Radley Garden,i heard some strange noises coming from inside the house. We were so freaked out and we ran away.

Thank god Jem invented this game. At least it helps us pass our time well. Its is called the Boo Radley game.Basically what we do is enact the known facts about the Radley family. Cool huh?? One day, Atticus found us playing the game and he told us to stop immediately.

My first day in school

Our teacher is an inexperienced teacher by the name of Miss Caroline Fisher. She is very arrogant and strict when she disciplines her students. She introduced us about the Dewey Decimal System as i thought that it was crap. It was too easy for me.

In class, i was writing a letter and was caught by her, she was shocked that i could already read and write fluently at my current age of six. She also told to me to ask my father not to educate me about reading and writing as we only learn to read and write in the first grade. I felt so insulted.

I am really beginning to feel that coming to school is boring and a complete waste of time. I think i must think of some ways or excuses not to be in school as I am not gaining any knowledge as i should in school. What excuses can i come up with...?

Who am I?

Hi my name is Scout... many people thinks that Scout is a guy's name as when they first hear my name, they thought that i was a guy. I live with my dad Atticus and Jem my lovely brother. We all live in a small town called Maycomb. My dad is a lawyer and my brother Jem loves sports especially football. Did i also mention that we have a housekeeper that acts like a mother to us, she does all the cooking for us, she is black by the way and that is the reason why i do not really like her very much. I love to read and wirte as well, i feel that i am already very smart for my age as many people of my age still can't write at all.
