Chapters 8-9
Perspective: Scout

Dear Journal,
This winter has been crazy. First of all, it was the coldest winter since 1885. Mr. Avery says it is because Jem, Dill, and I have been acting crazily; 'says it's on the Rosetta Stone. Ms. Maudie reckons he's got his head on wrong. When I woke up and saw snow outside, Jem and I decided to build a snowman with some of the snow, but there wasn't enough, so Jem built it out of mud, and put snow on the outside. We made our snowman look like Mr. Avery. We also found out that Ms. Radley died. Jem and I thought Boo cracked after all these years and killed her, but Atticus said she died of natural causes. Jem and I debated wether or not this was accurate, and decided that Atticus would not lie to us.
Ms. Maudie lost her house that night. She reckons the fire started from the stove in her kitchen. Atticus told Jem and I to isolate ourselves from everyone so's not to get in the way, so we stayed in front o' the Radley place the whole night. Despite Jem's attempts to warm me, we nearly froze the whole night. In the morning when we went back home, Atticus asked me where I got my blanket. I did not even know that I had one. I stayed in front o' the Radley Place the whole night. I was completly perplexed. Atticus told me Boo must have put it on me without me knowing. I was shocked. I was surprised how acquainted I now felt with Boo, though I never even saw him.
This Christmas I went crazy. Atticus is defending a black man named Tom Robinson, and people have been giving me grief about it like Cecil Jacobs and Francis(Aunt Alexandra's grandchild). I almost faught Cecil, but Atticus told me I 'ought to ignore him and anyone else that gives me grief. So on Christmas day I went to Aunt Alexandra's house, and Francis was calling Atticus a nigger-lover, and I flipped. I came up with a not so ingenious plan to punch him in the mouth. Uncle Jack held me to the ground, but later talked it out with me. I decided that I still loved him even though he made me mad by favoring Francis.
