To Kill A Mocking Bird 8-9

Prespective: Scout
Chapter 8 and 9;

For the first time here in Maycomb theirs an actual real winter, which leads to the snow fall and the snowfall cause school to be canceled. Me and Jem then gathered as much snow as we can , we even took some from Miss Maudie’s yard and moved it our own. We tried making a snowman but their wasn't enough snow so we just ended up building this small figured that we and tried and made it look like Mr. Avery.

Later that night my dad wakes me up, he helps me put my coat and takes me outside. We then see Miss Maudie’s house is on fire. The neighbors help her save her furniture, and the fire truck arrives in time to stop the fire from spreading to other houses, but Miss Maudie’s house burns down! In the confusion, someone puts a blanket over me. Then my dad later asks me about it, I have no idea who put it over me. Jem then realizes that Boo Radley put it on me, and he reveals the whole story of the knothole, the presents, and the mended pants to my dad . My dad tells us to keep it to ourselves, and then I realize that Boo was just behind me.

The next day Miss Maudie really cheerful tells us how much she hated her old house. She wanted a new one after a wile a go. She also tells us that she wished she had been there when Boo Radley put the blanket over me so she could of catched him in the act.

The next day in school I almost got in a fight with my classmate Cecil Jacobs after he had said that "My dad defends niggers".

Then Christmas finally came, and uncle Jack came over to celebrate it with us. For christmas my dad takes us to his sisters Alexandras house. There his sister keeps on insisting that I should dress more like a woman, and stop wearing pants. I am not going to listen to her tough.

One night, Francis tells me that Dill is a runt and then calls my dad a “nigger-lover.” I then beat him up. Francis tells Alexandra and Uncle Jack that I hit him, and Uncle Jack spanks me without hearing my side of the story. After we returned back to Maycomb, I tell Jack what Francis said and Jack gets furious. I make him promise not to tell my dad, however, because my dad had asked me not to fight anyone over what is said about him. Jack promises and keeps his word. Later, I overhears Atticus telling Jack that Tom Robinson is innocent but its hard to convince since it’s an all-white jury.
