Perspective of Atticus

Im Number 1

Today was a very exciting day. My daughter, Scout, told me about the fight that has happened at school because of how I am defending a Tom Robinson in the case. My kids started to notice how I am holder then the parents of the kids in their class. I think they were very disappointed in me because I could play football or be on the team when it was Methodist vs the Baptist Fundraiser. Nor did I hunt or fish like some of the other parents. Later that day there was a dog. We needed to isolate the dog. We thought that the dog a rabies. It was like was like the dog was fanatical. So my job was to shoot it. I became acquainted with the gun I was using. As we were debating the sheriff started talking about how I was very good at shooting. As I was adjacent to the dog I felt real bad. But it was okay because the dog was evil. I had to keep the sheriff shushed because if that got out to my children it wouldn't be good. Now I told my kids to only shoot at cans and bluejays because if you kill a mockingbird that is a sin. This is one of my first time I had talked about sin. I really meant this because I didn't wasn't them getting to caught up in killing.
Now that Jem needs to walk to the post office he has been walking back a grumpy old lady named Ms. Dubose. I try to be nice to here sometimes but thing just don't work out. She would sit on the front porch of her house in shawls with her wheelchair. I have heard rumors that she keeps a pistol beneath her shawls. I don't really believe that rumor. My son Jem had messed up her flowers so he had to read to her and fix them. After reading to her for about a month she died. I felt really bad for the old women. After this my daughter had the nerve to ask why my client was in jail. So I tell her that he was accused of rape by Bob Ewell. I also told her what rape is. She felt very interested to learn this. And that this wasn't true.
