Journal 2
Dill
I had waited all year for this; I was finally going back to Maycomb County to visit my friends I had made over the previous summer. Their names were Jeremy Finch and Jean Louise “Scout” Finch. They are neighbors of my dear old aunt Rachel. I had gone to visit my aunt the previous summer, and that’s when I met Jem and Scout. We had marvelous adventures that summer. Though I had enjoyed my stay, a figure of darkness’ tyranny had overshadowed my visit. That figure was Arthur “Boo” Radley, he lived in the haunted house. I couldn’t wait till school was over so I could go on the train to Alabama. I live in Mississippi so I’m let out a day later than Maycomb is. As I say good bye to my mom I start to think what news adventures we will have, as I think of all the possibilities, I begin to think of a prank I could pull on those two.
As soon as I arrived in Maycomb I said thanks to the cab driver and was picked up by my aunt Rachel. I went home to see if Jem and Scout were available. They asked about my journey here, I told them a tall tale about how I had met my father. After that they asked what we wanted to play and I said Tom, Sam, and Dick. Scout said she was tired of playing the same ones over and over again, so she told her brother to make one up

1. I like how you wrote about his feelings. It would have been a little bit better if you wrote more about what they did in the chapter and the following chapters, including making it longer. I likes how you incorporated some of the language of the time, however.
2. I like how you said how excited he was to see Scout. I also liked how he "pulled a prank". It was a good reason why he would lie.
***remember it's supposed to be one full page single spaced in a word document!***
1. I really liked how you started out with the character talking to the reader because it really helps the reader get interested into the story. I do not think that this is really a complete page again and at the end it cuts off and it doesn’t even have a period. Like alex I also enjoyed the way that you included the language that they would have used in that time. I also liked how you introduced the characters as if the reader didn’t know what was happening in the story so far.
2. I like how included a time where Dill lies and how you made the lie sound interesting. I also liked how you described the characters feelings about Alabama and the people there like Boo. It war really interesting.
