Journal #1 Chapters 1-3 Perspective of Scout

When my brother was 13 he broke his arm and when it healed he was very happy that he could play football. I lived with my brother Jem my dad atticus and our cook calcurnia. I hated calcurnia we always fought and they would usually be won by her because atticus would side with her. She has been with us since Jem was born. My mother died when i was 2 so i never really got to know her. I didn't miss her but i think Jem did. Jem was born the first year of there marriage and i was born 4 years later.
That same summer we met Dill. He dared us to get boo Radly out of his house Boo Radly was a very creepy and scary man who lived next door to us. Dill told my brother that he was a scardy cat and was a wimp for not going onto the yard. My brothers excuse was that if he wasn't there who would take care of me. But after enough name calling by dill, Jem finally took the dare.
The first thing that we did to get boo out of his house was to go on his yard. When that didn't work we threw rocks at his window. He still didn't respond.
That year was also my first year of school. When Ms. Caroline learned that i could read she was very mad and said that my dad needed to stop teaching me and saying that it was wrong the way he was doing it.
