" To Kill a Mockingbird " Journal Entry from Scout's perspective.

  Hey there, my name is Scout Finch. Originally it’s Jean but I prefer to be called Scout, mainly because growing up I was a tomboy. Anyways  I was born in 1926,, my mother died shortly after. I grew up in Maycomb, Alabama with my father ‘’ Atticus’’ and my older brother who I truly love Jem. Our mother died when I was two years old  so we have a cook to take care of my brother and I since our father is almost never home. Maycomb is not a very productive town nor does it have many employees. It’s suffering from a great depression and it’s almost bankrupt; However my family is not as poor comparing to the others. Thank to our ancestor Simon Finch  who left us a farm and my father who’s a good lawyer. September 1933 was my first day of elementary school . My first year of school overall was a disaster, I didn’t enjoy it at all. Miss Caroline didn’t seem to like me very much and made me learn the alphabets all over again when I can read just perfectly. She was in her early twenties and had just moved into our town, so she doesn’t know a lot about the town and its people. She didn’t know that Walter’s family were extremely poor and that Ewell’s children only showed up the first day of school. I felt sorry for her when she started to break down, but it’ll take some time for me to forgive her for hitting me with the ruler.
