Chapters 13, 14, & 15
Perspective: Aunt Alexandria

Today I have announced that I would be living with them. I want to emerge in with them more. I feel that I have been extracted from their family. Their dad wanted me to come and live with them because he said they needed more feminine in their life. Now I have been living with them for a while I seem to be fitting into their neighborhood. I think I have acquired their love and compassion but I feel that I am still being mean to them. I need to show them what being a Finch really meant.
Scout figured out what Atticus was trying to make us do but he told her that a man couldn’t do a women’s job. Now Calpurnia wants to move in. When she moved in she wanted to take the kids to her ecclesiastical church. She feels it is the infallible thing to do. Now Scout wanted to go to Calpurnia’s house. I had to say no because I knew that was the right thing to do. I felt that if Scout goes around Cal’s neighborhood something is going to happen because she is white. I didn’t even want Cal to take them to church.After this Scout found Dill under her bed hiding. I feel that it was right for Dill to run away from his home because they didn’t really want him there. His dad would give him a toy and just tell him to play with it. He never got to actually play with his mom or dad. If my parents would have been like that I think I would have done the exact same thing. I feel really sorry for Dill. I would hate for anyone to have parents like he does. The day is over and now Dill’s parents had let him stay in Maycomb for ever. He didn’t have to keep switching houses every school period.
