“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy . . . but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
Dear Diary,
Atticus Finch confuses me I've always seen him to be old, wise, smart and not a regular man. Most of the men in Maycomb Hunt Fish and drink alcohol at all hours of the day because that's all there really good for. Atticus would much rather put his glasses on and read a book. I thought I new everything there was to know about Atticus but he surprised me today.
A mad dog came barreling down our street and Calpurnia gets scared so she calls Atticus. Atticus comes home with Heck Tate (The Sheriff of Maycomb)and a rifle. Heck asks Atticus to shoot the the dog. I thought this is probably Heck trying to embarrass him. Surprisingly Atticus grabs the Rifle and shoots the mad dog in one shot.My mouth dropped to my toes.
Miss.Maudie gave me an interesting history lesson on Atticus. When Atticus was young his nickname was "One shot Finch". Jem wouldn't let me tell anyone because Jem says Atticus would have told us if he wanted us to know. So why wouldn't Atticus want me to know?
Isabella, please take a look at my directions on how to blog for TKAM. Your response seems to be more like a summary of the chapters. Instead you should be writing more about your character's perspective on what's happening, how did Scout feel when she saw her father shoot the mad dog? Explain why she did the things she did. Reread the directions and that will better help you next time. Also, be sure to include 5 vocab words in your writing.
