Perspective of Jem
It has been the coldest winter ever here since 1885. That’s not the worst, Mrs. Radley died that winter, I didn’t affect the town that much. Scout and I expected that Boo finely finished her off. To our disappointment, when Atticus returned from the Radley’s place he said she died of natural causes. I told Scout to ask Atticus if he saw Arthur Radley. He said no, and I told Scout not to ask any another questions. I woke up to Scout screaming, he was frightened by the snow was a outside. Atticus came running in the room have shaving; he explained it was just snow. It hasn’t snowed since 1885; Scout and I wanted to build a snowman. When we went outside the snow wasn’t enough, so we went to get some with buckets from Miss Maudie’s backyard. First we made a snowman of dirt and Scout called it a nigger snowman. Then we covered it with all the snow we had. After that we got a pair hedge clippers and Miss Maudie’s sunhat and the snowman was complete. That night Calpurnia light all the fireplaces but it was still cold. Minutes after we fell asleep we were woken up by Atticus. The time was approximately one in the morning. There was a fire burning Miss Maudie’s house. The fire truck comes but had to be pushed by people. Scout and I were standing out by the Radley's place. For some reason Scout was covered by a blanket, I suspected Mr. Radley. That Christmas, uncle Jack came to visit us. When we woke up we got our presents, they were air soft rifles. Atticus said that if we misused them we would never see them again. Christmas day we went with aunt Alexandra to eat dinner. Francis is aunt Alexandra's son. Francis and I sat at the grown up table while Scout sat at the children's table. After dinner Scout went outside and Francis followed, then around ten minutes later we saw aunt Alexandra run outside. Scout had apparently punched Francis in the face. Scout got a licking and we went home. I woke up and saw a Scout Listening to Uncle Jack and Atticus talking. I know that something Francis said or did really provoked her.
