Chapter 9-11 TKM

Scout, I'd told her...would of deserved that if she kept talkin' that way. I am surprised Scout fought her own cousin! Scout ought a stop sticking up for me, no matter what people say bout me. I expected her to tell em to stop, not hit em. She gotta stop or your be in a lot more trouble. Uncle Jack was right to yell at her, but Scout was right too, to tell him to look at your side of the story. Scout was right, Uncle Jack needs to learn a lot about kids. But Scout has to stop fighting others.
I still can't believe Mr. Tate gave me the gun to shoot the mad dog! I haven't seen a mad dog in so long, I'd reckon Mr. Johnson is not going to be happy. I haven't shot a gun in so long, i could have hit the Radley house! At least I got him, I was a lil' to the left though; that's what Mr. Tate said. I hope Scout and Jem didn't see me perform this horrible act. I don't really wanna explain things to them about my past as Old one shot. Maybe they didn't even see! I better not find out they asked around about it, i don't like talking about it...
I am so proud of my Jem for reading to Mrs. Dubose. I can't get over about how he freaked out about what she was saying and destroyed her bushes! I wasn't surprised when he had to repay her, but i am glad because i think it oughta taught him something. she was a nice woman, sorta crazy but nice. She was peaceful when she died, i am sorry for losing her but she is probably happier now. I am glad Jem got to experience what he experienced.

tkm chapters 7 & 8

I' d reckon that i don't remember haven' this blanket around me here. Jem don't know where it came from either. Might have been Boo, oh i mean Mr. Radley. He probably just heard me complainin' about Jem's arm around me not bein' enough. It was cold out last night. Over everything that happened, i would' a said the most surprisn' thing was poor Mrs. maldies house on fire. she didn't seem to mind, All she cared about was those flowers of hers. I would'a turned around if i knew Boo came out, but i didn't. I hope that Mrs. Mauldies gona be happy, she seems it. I'd tell Jem, but he'd known nothing more than me of whose this blanket belonged to. Boo, hmm Boo radley gave me a blanket! I'd could'a saw him, if ida just turned around; but i never did. Ima little angry with myself for being so stupid and just hada watch that fire!

I oughta not cry about that darn tree. I liked it an' now its all plugged up with that cement that mr. Radley had to puts in there! Jem don't seem to be happy bout it. I dunno what to do now, where are we gonna find gifts at? it's all over, i guessed that. I am not so thrilled with this, i liked 'em gifts and prizes we found. I liked the gum too, an' now its gone. That tree don't look like its gonna be diein' anytime soon, i don't understand what he'd meant. I still like those gifts though, the dolls an' all. Me and Jem oughta put them sumwhere that we will remember em'.
