Chapterd 10, 11, 12

Perspective: Scout

Chptr 10
School is not getting any better but I'm holding my will to fight and clobber them to china. But something I noticed is that Atticus is ALOT older than all the other kids dads. He never does anything but sit on the couch. Now that I think about it he never goes hunting or any of the stuff normal dads do. I mean even his job is just sitting in an office while other dads are mechanics and engineers. Even when me and Jem got air rifles he didn't teach us how to shoot!! He only told us to shoot at blue jays and tin cans, not mockingbird. I got the ingenuous idea to ask Ms. Maudie about why I couldn't shoot mockingbird. She told me that mockingbirds don't bother you so you shouldn't bother them. I couldn't help but think of boo radley when she said that. While I was talking to her I decided to also ask about why atticus is so old. Miss Maudie tried to tell me how Atticus wasn't just an old man. It wasn't till Tim Johnson, the neighborhood dog, caught rabies and was terrorizing the neighborhood. Tim went next to the Radley house and it was a one shoot chance, so the sheriff entrusted the gun to Atticus to my surprise. In the perplexity of this all turns out he was a sharp shooter and killed the dog in one shoot. Ms Maudie told me he didn't hunt because he felt it was a unfair advantage to the animals he hunted. Me and Jem became less Fanatical about the Radley place and more into the town of maycomb. Jem got money for his birthday and decided to buy a toy train and get me a baton that I've been eye balling. We usually pasted ms dubose who seemed isolated, the only interactions with other humans she had was when she was yelling at them on her porch. Atticus told us to just ignore her and we did but one day she said mean things about there family and that pushed Jem to the edge. After he bought his toy he took my baton and murdered Ms. Dubose's flowers and left my baton there. I started crying and he kicked me and helped me up. When atticus found out he made Jem go to Ms. Dubose's house. She made us read to her for two hours a day for a month. The next day me and Jem went there and read. It didn't even seem like she was listening all she did was rant about everything. Eventually the timer rang and we went home. After about A month or so I began to notie that we stayed there longer and longer as each day pasted . We were pretty acquainted with the schedule. When a month pasted Ms. Dubose told Jem to read for another week. Atticus agreed and Jem and Atticus had a debate about it. Jem finally agreed and after that week we were finally free. After about a month or so the poor old woman dies. Turns out she was a morphine addict. Before she died she made a box with the most prettiest flower ever and gave it to Jem. It was really boring ever since Jem became more mature and what made it worse was that dill couldn't wouldn't come back because of his mom re-marriage. The only interesting thing to happen was going to nigger church with calpurnia. At first this black lady was angry at us but then the rest of the church was very nice and welcoming. I sat adjacent to Jem. They talked about Tom Robinson and how his kids and wife needed money, at least $10. I was flooding with questions. I asked why Robinson was in jail and Calpurnia said it was because of rape accusations. I asked her what rape was but she wouldn't tell me.
