Bob tries to get us

After the halloween pagent, as Scout and I were walking home, Bob tried to kill us as a way of getting back to Atticus for making him look like a fool.

Thankfully we survived and he fell on the kitchen knife and Scout only sustained some minor scratches and bruises, the suit saved her life from Bob.

I was not so lucky, my arm was broken and it took quite some time to heal and when it healed , my arm was not as good as before but I do not care as I can still pitch and toss.

Will Bob ever stop tormenting Helen ?

Its already bad enough that Bob caused the death of Tom , but he keeps tormenting Helen whenever she walks past the Ewell estate to go to work.

These actions of Bob are very cowardly and not becoming of a proper man as he only know how to get back at people he thinks are out to get him by cowardly methods like bullying and tormenting those that are weaker than him.

Someone should just set him straight and knock some sense into him , maybe he will learn at least whats right and wrong and become a less problematic citizen but that will probably never happen as a leopard never changes its spots.

Bob spits on Atticus !

After Atticus shamed Bob in front of the whole courthouse even though Bob won the case as Tom was a black man, he was sore about the whole incident about Atticus defending a black man.

The whole of Maycomb knew that Tom was innocent and the jury too knew he was innocent even though they convicted him as there is prejudice in Maycomb county.

He knew that the whole of Maycomb knew that Tom was innocent and Atticus proved that it was Bob that caused those bruises on Mayella and not Tom.

He spat on Atticus` face but Atticus didn`t do anything and when i asked him why he just told me that Bob would probably stop feeling sore about the whole incident and his hatred would slimmer down.

Will the prejudice in Maycomb ever cease?

Looking back at the court trial regarding Tom Robinson as I think of the possible outcomes if there was no prejudice in Maycomb, I am filled with grief and sorrow for him.

I thought that Atticus would win the case and aquit Tom but instead he was convicted and now hes dead? He was an innocent man that did nothing wrong and instead of good things happening to him, he got accused of raping Mayella Ewell?

And almost the whole jury just blindly state that he is guilty without feeling remorse while watching him get convicted for something he has not done and let Bob Ewell get away with his sins unpunished?

People said that a black man can never pit his word against a white man and it was made clear to me during his trial.

Stop reminding me of the courthouse !

Scout keeps doing things that reminds me of the courthouse ! I want to forget what has happen in that place that I now hate , even though its Atticus' fort.

This prejudice ought to stop, even though Tom Robinson is one of the coloured folks, he should be in a fair trial and not guilty even before he made his stand. Even though if the jury is all white folks and if they pronounce that he innocent, they would be scorned at for taking the side of the coloured people.

They should do what is right and not what is the "decision" of whats right, " a black man's word can't hold against a white man's word. I shall put an end to this prejudice if its the last thing i do!

Shocking ! Hes dead !

When I first heard that Tom Robinson was dead , and the cause of his death was because he climb the fence to escape from jail and got shot to death.

Wonder how would Atticus bring this up to Tom`s wife, hope she would take it in stride. I feel that this incident of prejudice is very wrong as Tom without doubt is innocent and should not be persecuted.

But he chose to try and escape even though he may be cleared of his name. It really was a foolish thing to do from my point of view.

Still , even though he was escaping as an extremely fast speed, they could have shot his legs to stop him. They didn`t have to shoot so many. They were definately shooting to kill him. Can you imagine seventeen bullet holes just piercing through his skin?

Jem`s jam

Scout and I went to pick some wild berries and we brought them back to Calpurnia and she made some new kind of jam which was delicious.

She named it Jem`s jam as the taste of the jam sort of reflected my character in it.

She told me that sometimes I was like the sweetness of the jam. While sometimes I was as sour as the taste of the berries in the jam. And sometimes I would act as spoilt as some of the berries we picked up that was rotten.

It was quite amusing as her statement was quite true about myself.

Walter gets bullied !

Today in school I witness the most hilarious thing ever ! Walter was getting bullied by a kid half his size.

He did not retaliate and did not take any measures to protect and defend himself against the attacker.

Though none of the attacks actually hurt him badly , he lost his pride and has the title of a coward in school . If he retaliated , the boy would not have stand a chance !

I am still curious about why Walter did not fight back , knowing that he would win if he did so. Its weird and a little amusing that this kind of incident took place.

Tom Robinson`s "hopeless" case

After hearing that Atticus would defend Tom Robinson for a case that he would definately not win. I wonder what Atticus is thinking , defending Tom Robinson knowing that he would surely not win the case.

While others think of Atticus as a "nigger lover" , I do not care what they think and I would always support Atticus in whatever he is doing.

When people talk of Atticus as a "nigger lover" , Scout flares up and goes mad , even though Atticus told her to control herself..

Sisters are a chore !!

Its awfully annoying when Scout bothers me to play with her when I am busy with something else and have no time to entertain her antics, and when I am playing with her, I have to make sure that she is safe.

Being an elder brother is not easy . I have to take care of Scout and if anything happen it would become my fault for not taking proper care of her.

I get blamed if I do not take good care of her . It is so unfair ! I wish she would just grow up and I do not need to look after her time and time again.

Even when I am doing something that girls normally would not do, Scout would just barge in and demand for us to play with her, sometimes I wish she would just do what girls do, girls should just act like girls!

Scout is so annoying !

I just hate it when Scout bothers me to play with her , why can`t she just find her own company to play with. I bet she has at least one friend. More over I just hate to play the stupid games she wants to play.

If I do not play with her , she would keep bugging me till I can`t take it and give in to her demands.

Enough is enough ! I am not going to put up with her nonsense anymore ! I am going to stand firm and decide what I want to do myself !
