Journal #1- Chapters 1-3 from the perspective of Jem

Me and scout where in the back yard having fun and messing around when we came along a new kid that we haven’t met. This was a very strange boy scout would even agree that this boy looked acquired. His name was Charles Baker Harris but he went by Bill. He would come during the school year but leave over the summer. This was nephew of Miss Stephanie Crawford. This was our neighbor that lived next to us. After having a conversation with Dill I could tell that this was going to be very strange with a person like Dill around. He still is very young like about 7 and was able to read.
I was right having Dill around was strange but not boring he bared me to go up to the Radley house and just put my hand on the house. I could back out because why would I. I can take any bare. So I ran up to the house and tapped it and then ran back. I thought that the Radleys son would come out and try to kill us. I have seen him walk around at night time in people backwards because I have seen him before. He has even been in our backward.
Soon enough Dill had to go and then before we new it school came along it was going to be scouts first time at school or at least first grade. I told her that school is easy and she would be able to handle it but I also had to brake it to her that at school I am hanging out with my friends and I don’t have time to be hanging out with you. I didn’t want to be mean it was just because that’s the only time I see my friends because I always play with her. Later that day I saw Scout and she was sad because her teacher was not letting her read during school because that isn’t what the school was teaching yet. This is something that Scout has to learn about school there are many rules and it hard to follow all of them.
I thought that it was going good in my classes at school and having fun meeting up with all my old friends. But as soon as I saw Scout again at school she was pushing this kid’s face into the dirt just because of a dilemma in class that happened earlier that day. I told scout that that was right at school and then we invited him over to eat as an apology from Scout.
