Journal #2: Chapters 4-7 Perspective of Dill

Man can't wait till I get to Maycomb I need to get there me not being there is tormenting me, when I can meet up with Scout and Jem, 2 more days until I make my journey to Maycomb. On my journey to Maycomb I might my Dad. He is the president of L&N railroad. Then Jem said that I was lying. Then he asked me what game will we play today and I said Tom, Sam, and Dick. Scout said that she doesn’t want to play the game because she doesn’t want to be Tom Rover, I can’t blame we always make her Tom because he loses his memory in the middle of the show and isn’t in the script until the end where he is found in Alaska. Jem and I didn’t want to be them so we made Scout play him; there was no point in quibbling against Jem and me. We went into the front yard I started to stare at the Radley place. I said that I smelled death and Scout said she was going hit me so hard I’m going to be bowlegged. Jem told us to both shut up and then Jem told Scout like she never believed in the Hot Steams. I asked what the Hot Steams where and he said was that they where people who couldn’t get into heaven and they wander around lonesome roads and if you walk through them, when you die you become on of them. After he told me that I’m going to do some evasion of lonesome roads. Then Scout said no to talk to listen to Jem and she said the Cal said that was “Nigger-talk”. Then Jam asked Scout if we were going to play anything and she said how you roll me in the tire. He said you know I’m too big and she said you can push. I said I should be first but she would have it like that to she went first. Scout was unanimous that Jem was going to push her with all his might and strength he had in his body. When she got in he got ready to push her and then he pushed her and then the next thing is she is in the Radley’s yard and we chased her and told her to get out of there and bring the tire but she didn’t and she just ran out of there and Jem had to run over there and retrieve the tire. Then Cal yelled Lemonade time. We all ran to the house and we drank the lemonade. Jem said that he has found a new game and I said what and he said Boo Radley. I said Boo Radley? How? Jem gave us all parts that we can play. Scout was going to be Mrs. Radley; I was going to be Mr. Radley, and Jem was Boo he would be the maligant one. 1 day we were so busing playing the game that we didn’t seeing Atticus was on the sidewalk watching us and he saw Jem cutting the newspaper and then he got mad and said that he will tan Jem if he was tearing up the today’s paper. The next couple of weeks Scout didn’t come to play with Jem and me, Jem and me where becoming closer and Scout left us alone for couple of weeks.
