“Scout is it true?” I asked, “Did she really die?”
“Yes it’s true, she died not so long ago, Atticus is in the house to see it for himself. I mean it was imminent that she would die, because she was really old.” Scout replied.
“Should we ask him if he saw, you know Boo?” I asked.
“I think so… but I don’t want to ask him, you ask him.” Scout said.
“No way Scout!” I replied, “There’s no way I’m asking Atticus, he thinks that I already stopped with the whole Boo Radley mystery, please you ask him.”
“Fine… I’ll wait until he gets back home.” Scout replied.
I follow Scout back to the house, where we both wait for Atticus.
We see Atticus walking towards the kitchen; he sits down and starts reading a newspaper. “Okay Scout, go on now.” I said. Scout starts walking towards Atticus and asked, “Atticus, did you see Mr. Arthur?” I notice Scout tried to say it without interrogating him, she was also lionizing Atticus with those precious eyes of her. Atticus placed the newspaper on the table, he turned his said to Scout and said, “I did not.” And went back to his newspaper. I didn’t know if Atticus was lying, or if it was true, but I don’t want to ask him anything about it.
Next morning I woke up and saw small white dots falling from the sky. I didn’t know what it was; I thought it was bits of the sky falling down. I ran downstairs completely frightened and yelled. “Atticus! The world is ending! Please you have to do something!” I said as I dragged him towards the window.
“No it isn’t, its just snow Jem.” Atticus said. “It’s actually very bizarre, snow in Maycomb County.”
I have never seen snow, it was so amazing, I ran outside with Scout and just admired.
“Jem, don’t try one! It tastes like contaminated water!” Scout told me.
“Hey Scout, I have an idea, lets build a snowman.” I said, “We’ll make it huge.” Scout and I conspired the idea of the snowman, and when it’s done, we’ll show it to Atticus.
Scout and I started gathering snow from other neighbor’s front porches. Time elapsed by while we ran around the neighborhood gathering, but we finished in time. Scout and I decided that we would build the snowman like Mr. Avery, so we started shaping the snowman as best as we could. “It looks pretty nice doesn’t it?” Scout asked.
“Yeah, but if it’s Mr. Avery we need 1 last touch.” I replied, I grabbed a piece of stove wood and stuck it right between his legs. We both laughed and called Atticus, “Atticus! Come out here!” We both yelled. Atticus came out of the house and looked at the snowman. “Wow, this is really good. Guys im really proud of you.” Atticus said as he gave a closer inspection at the snowman. “Uhh children, you better disguise that thing between his legs.”
Scout and I ran to Mrs. Maudie’s front porch and took a hat, and a small skirt, and placed it on the snowman.
“Jem Finch, you could’ve asked if you could borrow that clothes… wait what is that?” Miss Maudie yelled as she ran over to the snowman. Jem put the clothes on the snowman, disguising it’s wee wee. Mrs. Maudie started walking back to her house and yelled, “Give me my snowman after you finish that hermaphrodite!” Mrs. Maudie said.
Scout and I went back in the house because it was getting dark. The next morning we went downstairs and Atticus told us that the dining room in Miss Maudie’s house was on fire. We both ran infront of the Radley Place. This was a whole calamity, snow, and then fire? Scout and I stared at everything that was happening. We were very meticulous since we were in front of the Radley’s house. I look down and see a man placing a blanket on Scout, who was sitting in the snow. I stared at the person who had the blanket but he just assimilated with everyone besides Miss Maudie’s house. Atticus came over to us and asked, “Scout where did you get that blanket?”
“Oh, I really don’t know.” Scout replied as she stood up. “Should I say anything?” I thought, “Maybe it was Boo Radley?”
Scout walked away and I told Atticus, “Atticus! I think that Boo Radley placed the blanket! He sneaked up on Scout, and placed it slowly and walked away.”
“Jem” Atticus said, “Do not let this inspire you to go further glory.”
I thought about what he said all day long.
