chapters 12-15 blog

Calpurnia took her children to her church. Her church is different then others because it is a “colored” church. i have been to a “colored” church before i think that they are pretty cool they all like to dance and get into it i went to the “colored” church in Cleveland Ohio. I think that it would be a good idea to take the kids to the “colored” church because it will show the kids that they arent any different then others. Aunt Alexandra says that she is going to stay with the kids for a while, to give them a “feminine influence”.  I have never had anyone come and stay with me and my brother to influence us on anything, i’m glad that, that has never happened because i just like being myself. When the sheriff came to atticus’s house, he really didnt show any sign of fear. If a sheriff and some guys with him came to my house i would be nervous, i would be nervous because i wouldnt know what the sheriff wanted, or if he was trying to get me in trouble.

racism 10 sentence blog

I have been around a lot of raciest people. My grandpa did not like black people,  I beleive the only reason why he didnt like them was because he grew up in a different time period then I have.  I dont even ask him about it because I really dont want to hear about it. One of my best freinds is black and I wouldent treat him any different then any of my other friends.  I can releate a story to the book to kill a mocking bird.  My friend Brit who is black got into trouble with me a couple summers ago for sneaking into the swimming pool at night. We just jumped the fence and had a good time swimming and jumping of the diving board. Well the workers looked at the camera and saw us, and i have no idea how they knew it was us but, a week later the cops were at my house.  They sent both of us to court and he got more punishment then me, he had ten more hours of community service.  I asked the judge why he got more and the judge asked me if i want more,  I said no, i just want it even. So they gave me five more hours and took five hours off of his.  This reminds me of the book when Cecil Jacobs was blamming Scouts dad, and saying that he defends “niggers”.  I think is a sort of way i was kind of defending a black guy in my situation.

chapter 9-11, 10 sentence blog

Scout about got into a fight with cecil jacobs at school.  They about got into a fight over scouts dad defending “niggers”.  I think that this is mess up because  it really doesnt matter what color someone is.  One of my best freinds is black, and i wouldent treat him any different then any of my other friends.  Atticus’s brother jack came and stayed with them for a week during the holidays. Scout cusses in front of their brother jack.  Then after dinner Jack has Scout sit on his lap. Jack tells Scout not to cuss in front of him again. When Jack comes back and stayes with them it reminds me of when my cousin was in college. He would come and stay with my family for about a month in the summer.  My brother and I would always be way exited for him to come and stay with us.  I never cussed in front of him but i think that if I did he wouldent really care because he used some words of his own.

symbol

the symbol is the book to kill a mockingbird to me is the old tree. The kids  find the different objects in. I think that this is the symbol because alot of the story is about the old tree. If you think about it how many trees has a knot-whole in it where you find different objects all the time. i think that later in the story the knot-whole in the tree will mean more then just a knot-whole in the tree.
