Dear Journal,

Today my sister gave me a guilt trip about not being able to play with her. I love my sister but there is a time for playing and it's not at school in front of my friends. I was so hesitant to touch the Radley house. I was sure that I would be killed. luckily I ran away fast enough. I am glad that I met Dill. He seems like a pretty nice kid. He definitely keeps Scout and I entertained. It's hard being a big brother sometimes. I know I will always need to protect Her. When I first saw Dill I really thought he was a toddler. He is so puny that I am not sure if he'll ever grow. Scout got in trouble because she defended Walter Cunningham. At least her teacher is good looking. After that she was really rude to him. The kid doesn't have a penny to his name. I prolly would've done the same thing if I was Scout. Walter is a peculiar kid. He put molasses all over his food. I didn't say anything but Scout totally attacked him at the dinner table. Capurnia got really mad at her. Atticus seemed to like Walter a lot. I'm glad to see my father happy. Hopefull Ms.Caroline will come around.

Sincerely,
Jem
