5 years from now

Today Jem drove me and him down town to see Dill. He's living with his aunt still, but they moved back near us. It's great and they're staying there for a while i hear. Boo Radley comes over to see us every other day. Atticus invited him to eat dinner with us once a week. He really enjoys getting out of the house and he's become a friendly person. I can't believe me Jem and Dill used to be so scared of him, all those years we were clueless. I feel bad because he's one of the nicest guys i know! He's coming to the next trial with us, he's pretty excited. It's another big one, just like Tom Robinson's case was years back. Atticus met this girl, Cicelia. They've been going steady for a couple months now and he's been really happy. Me and Jem like her and hope maybe one day they will get married.

Verdict

The trial was really fun to watch, I enjoyed it a lot. Tom Robinson should not have been guilty though! Atticus done a great job defending him and he was better then i thought would be. Mayella was really guilty i know she was. I bet if Tom Rabinson were white the jury would agree with me too. I wish that the whole jury weren't all racist, Tom Robinson doesn't desereve to die. He doesn't deserve to die at all. I couldn't imagine loosing family all because of a trashy white girl lying to cover up her father. But I guess she just wanted to protect him. It was real kind of his family to put those baskets out front of our house. Atticus tried his hardest and they showed their respect even though they didnt win the case. I gotta go help Calpurnia now, bye!

Today I was at Tom Robinson's trial, and from what it looks like he's innocent. I'm not too sure yet why Mayella blamed him for something he didnt do. But who knows maybe he did do it but i doubt it. Mayella kept cryin' and i felt bad for her at first then I didnt care anymore, it got old. Atticus is a great lawyer! I'm so proud to say hes my dad. He cracked down Mayella to the real truth. Me and Jem had a great time watching the trial, we thought it was so cool. We never really knew how good Atticus was until now. Me and Jem are real excited for the trial to start back up, we can't wait to see if Tom Robinson is innocent or guilty! I think he's innocent but Jem keeps having thoughts about it. Atticus doesn't like to talk about it much with us.
