Journal #2
Chapters 4-7
Perspective: Scout
What happened that night changed the way I sleep. Every little bump or scratch I hear in the night makes me picture Boo Radley out for revenge. I sometimes lie in my bed staring at the ceiling until I hear something. Once I hear even the faintest sound I can’t sleep for at least 40 minutes. I feel the need to stay up and confirm that the sound was a random noise of the night not a person. I am not sure person is the right term for Boo Radley, in our minds he is an image created from the rumors and stories we have heard, and that image is pretty gruesome.
Jem and I refer to the night when we snuck into the Radley’s back yard as “that night”. It’s actually quite Burdensome to have one night that impacted your life so intensely that it was known as “that night”. I am not sure what our next move will be in the game of solving the mystery of Boo Radley. Furthermore I do know that whatever out move will be that it needs to wait until Dill comes back. That’s another thing that keeps me up at night. Dill. He wants to marry me and has already announced his love for me and only me. I am guessing that if I told anyone my current situation they would explain to me that I am too young to worry about this stuff. See, I am at least a year ahead of my class and I am very bored at school. So all I have to think about is Dill and the summers. Oh! And Boo Radley. I can’t say I love Dill as he says he loves me but I can say that he is a charming fellow. I wonder how Jem feels about all of this. Does he care that a good friend of his is in love with his sister? I have to say that an auspicious out come to this whole situation is me never marrying Dill. It really saddens me that Dill and Jem go off together and leave me out. That’s one of the reasons I threw myself into “that night”, I didn’t want to be left out any more. I actually feel melancholy when I know that Dill and Jem are off planning another adventure as I talk with the neighbors. Speaking of adventure I can’t believe Dill said that he was engaged in a game of strip-poker with my brother. That’s just wrong. Even to get Jen out of a pickle he never should have said that. I am so glad Atticus didn’t ask any questions about what Dill said after “that night”.
In the end this summer was one that I will never forget. Now it’s time to go back to school and the Dewpid Decidumb System. Gosh I wish I could experience a class room not under the clutches of the Dewy Decimal System. But what am I goanna do? Aside from that I am excited for one thing… going back to the tree and seeing what prizes are left inside for Jem and I.
