I found it hard to write about these past  pages. So much happened, I didn’t expect any of it. The most astounding part was when Bob Ewells attacked Jem and Scout after the show. I don’t think I could ever understand how an adult could attack a child. I was even more amazed that Boo came to the rescue. I wish that there was a part in the book that describes Jem’s reaction when he finds out that Boo Radley saved them from Mr.Ewells. The book had a slow start but the ending was worth it.

I found that these chapters have been the most interesting in the whole book, in my opinion of course. It was the most informational so far. In these few pages you learn a lot about the racism and how much it really had an impact on society. It was almost sickening how Tom Robinson was still found guilty even after all the facts showed he was not the one that did it. It was nice to see everyone still caring about Atticus and giving so many gifts to their family. These chapters also showed how racial situations didn’t just affect men and women but children too.

In these chapters Jem turns 12 years old. Scout and Jems relationship isn’t as good anymore because Jem doesn’t want to play with Scout anymore. In chapter 11 Jem gets angry at Mrs.  Dubose for talking bad about Atticus and trashes her front yard. I personally don’t like Mrs. Dubose. When Atticus finds out he tells Jem that he has to apologize to her, he cleans up the mess he made and apologizes. Mrs. Dubose wants him to read to her everyday after school. He reads to her everyday but everytime he goes he goes home a little bit early. Turns out that she was a morphine addict and she was trying to break her addiction. Even though she had a morphine doesn’t  mean she has the right to trash talk Atticus.

Throughout chapters 6-10 there have been alot of important events. In chapter 6 Dill, Jem and Scout decide to peek in the Radley’s shutters, they see someone and run away as Jem was running his pants get caught on a fence. When Atticus asks what happened to his pants Dill says that they were playing strip poker. In chapter 7 they check the hole and they find carved soap that looks like them,a medal, a watch and gum the next day the hole was filled with cement. They ask Mr. Radley about the tree he said that he filled the hole because it was dying. In chapter 8 Scout screams that the world is ending, but it was snowing later that night Miss Maudie’s house caught on fire. In chapter 9 Scout meets with her cousing Francis and calls Atticus a horrible name, their uncle, Jack breaks up the fight and everyone believed that Scout started it, later she tells uncle Jack what really happened. Finally in chapter 10 the mad dog appeared and the sheriff asked Atticus to shoot it but he refused. But because he didn’t have a choice he shot the mad dog. Miss Maudie told the children that Atticus was the deadliest shot in Maycomb.

I finished reading chapters 1 to 5 of To Kill A Mockingbird. At first I was confused as to what gender the main protagonist was because she plays with her brother and is a tomboy. I don’t dislike the book but I’m also not a big fan so far. In chapter two Scout prepares to go to school for the first time. When she’s at school her teacher, Miss Caroline Fisher concludes that Atticus had to have taught Scout to read. She gets mad at Scout and makes her feel guilty for being ahead of her class. Later at recess she tells Jem what happened at he tells Scout that Shes just trying a new method of teaching. I extremely dislike Miss Caroline mostly because she’s terrible with children, but mostly just with Scout.
