Atticus!!

At first I thought Atticus was a nice caring person. Now I kind of think that he is not such a good of a father. Atticus doesn't really tell the kids everything that is going on. Jem and Scout here from other people. Jem and Scout don't even know everything about their family and are hearing it from Their aunt. "she our cousin? I didn't know that." This is a perfect example of when their aunt is telling Scout that she should talk to her cousin Lily.
My parents are nothing like Atticus. My parents basically tell me every thing. I mostly know all of my family. If something happens with family my parents tell me what happens even if I don't know them. I would not want Atticus as a father.

Changing Perceptions of Boo Radley

While reading chapters 4-8 my thought of Boo Radely has changed alot. At first I thought he was just some weird scary guy, and now I think of him as a nice carring person. A couple of weird events are Boo putting stuff in the knot hole, and Boo folding and sewing Jem's pants back up for him. "When I went back, they were folded across the fence, like they were expectin' me." Also Boo Radely was giving the kids different things, some that were valuable. This shows that he could be bored and wants to have an outside realtionship and cares about the kids. This made me think different about Boo. This shows that the rumors are not true and he is nice and is not some one sneeking around at night looking at people threw their windows.
When scout was talking with miss maudie I got the feeling that boo is afraid to come out. He is afraid that he might not fit in or be accepted by anyone because of the rumors going around. Also is brother is controlling him because he says everything is a sin. I think Atticus didnt like the kids playing their "Boo Radely" game because he was woried that something might happen to them. I think Atticus is afraid that Boo Radley and his brother might not be to happy if they found out that his kids are playing a game spying on Boo and trying to see what he looks like.

Boo


My first impression of Boo Radely is that hey is a creepy person that know one know much about. I don't think the rumors are true because no one has seen him since he was a kid so no one knows any thing about him for sure. I think that Boo could actually be a really nice person and no one knows it because he wont leave his house. I hope Boo leaves his house because i want to find out more about him.

I find my self more like Dill. I think I am more like dill because I would rather dare some one to do something then actually do the dare. I don't think that i would go and touch a guys house that no one knows and says that he would kill you if you even stepping on his property. "Now you tell your father not to teach you any more. It's best to begin reading with a fresh mind. You tell him I'll take over from here and try to undo the damage." T\I find this funny because the teacher thing thinks that she is lying about her father not teaching her how to read. I doubt that any first grader would lie about something about that.

The best thing about english

The best about English so far was the story " A Christmas Memory. This was fun because we didn't have to do work for the day that we read it. Also stories are fun to read. This was fun too because I only had to read one paragraph. "A Christmas Memory" was also a good story which made it fun to read.
