Dear Uncle Jack, I am writing this letter to you to tell you what is going
on at home. Aunt Alexandra has moved in, which is not that good.
I think she did so because of our manners, and also because of
the trial. She is annoying; she keeps on saying how badly I behave.
Atticus and Jem are changing a lot. At first, Atticus respected
Aunt Alexandra when she wasn't talking to him nice, but now he
responds to her and sometimes gets in a fight with her. He used
to never do that. And he doesn't listen to her as much either.
Like the day of the trial when he said it was okay for us to
stay there. You should have seen Auntie's face. I think he changed
because of the trial. He has a lot on his mind now, and he is
tired of Aunt Alexandra always on his back. Jem also changed, because of the trial, I think. Cal calls
him "Mister Jem" now. Maybe he is just growing up.
But I think he is just pretending to know everything that is
going on, I mean about the trial. He never wants me around, and
he is always reading these football magazines. He is just trying
to look older. I guess I'm the only one who doesn't change. I don't understand
everything that is happening, and it is really annoying. I wish
I could though, because everyone is talking about it, and I don't
understand what is going on! |
