"To Kill a Mocking Bird
Journal #1
Chapters 1-3
Perspective of Jem
Sadly I break my arm. I was afraid I would not be able to play football anymore. People thought I was a little eccentric for only thinking about football. Scout and I start to think of our past in Maycomb. With our father Atticus only because our mother died two years after Scout was born.Scout and I found a new friend named Charles Barker Harris but we call him Dill for short. We told him the stories about Arthur Radley. Which made me feel very intimidated. Arthur Radley isindigenous to Maycomb. He lived there is whole life. We told him the time Arthur stabbed his father with scissors. What everyone calls him in Maycomb is Boo like a ghost. It Dill irked me because he seemed more interested in the house more then he was afraid of it.
The next day we go to school and I find Scout beating up a kid named Walter Cunningham. I made her stop. She told me she was beating him up because of lunch. The Cunningham's will not take anything from anyone if they can not pay it back. Instead of beating him up I decide to invite him to dinner with us. We all go to dinner and Walter and Atticus keep talking about crops. Scout gets called in by Calpurnia. Scout comes back but picks up her plate and goes back. I think she finished her dinner in there." ~Marea

I liked your post but I think you just need to be more aware of what you're writing at some parts. like you mix up words or forget things. Also Jem doesn't break his arm in the first chapter, Scout just mentions it before she flashbacks all the way. Another thing is that Jem is on Dill's side. If anyone is interested in the Radleys, it's Jem. Dill is just his follower. Lastly, be careful of tenses and who's talking. Otherwise, good job on your post!
