The past couple of days I have been irked by Scout alot. I just wish I can get a muzzle and shut her up. Scout is always getting into my business and talking alot and loud which almost gets me in trouble. One good thing that ended up happening is that Dill returned. Me and Dill tried to give a note to Boo Radley the last couple of days but we were intimidated as we saw his shadow and we also got caught by our father Atticus. I just can not take the fact that Atticus is always watching what I do. I just need to persevere my mission which is to give the note to Boo Radley. Last night we snuck into the Radleys yard to see Boo. We saw his malevolent shadow looking at us. The weird thing is that when we ran out the house Mrs Atkins told us that Nathan Radley heard things in his yard and shot to send a warning fire. I thought to myself if he was trying to get me. As I began to go run back and get my pants from the yard Scout starts to tell me that Nathan was looking for us to kill us. I stopped to think and did not go get the pants it's either I live and go home or die.

The next day I found out that Mr Radley found my pants but he did not know who they belong to so he left them there. Scout started a new grade which is second grade she still did not like school but I told her that we had to have a compromise that school is not hard its fun. When I was walking home with Scout I saw Nathan Radley put these two vodo dolls that looked like me and Scout, I asked him why are they inside the knothole he replied and he said that the knothole was dying. I thought he was lying at first but than I thought I was not so sure that he liked us at all.
