Journal 3
Ms. Maudie
I can’t say I was shocked when we heard Mrs. Radley died, no one really ever saw her except when she was outside watering her cannas. I was perplexed when I was invited to her house for a final good bye. I was even more confused when she entrusted me with her cannas. I isolated myself so I could think about the events that had just happened. I had always been more of an acquaintance with Mrs. Radley. I walked up to her for one last time to pay my respects when I say a shadow in the back room, not wanting to be left alone with possibly Arthur “Boo” Radley I left.
I went to bed that night, thinking over my day. I woke up the next morning to find a horrible event in the making, the temperature changed drastically over the night. I woke up to find snow falling on my plants. I knew that if it got too cold my plants would freeze so I rushed out there to see what I could do. I was in the middle of covering my plants when I called Jem over I told him that if I didn’t cover the plants they would die. I told what he could to help me. I told him to make sure that all my plant were covered up or otherwise they would die. He then he asked me if he could have some of my snow, I told him he could take it all, that there was a peach basket that I could use to carry. I suddenly stoped and asked him for what he wanted it and he said you’ll see.
I slowly watched them carry the snow from my side tot heir back yard and then to their front yard. It was a while later that I realized they had built a snowman replica of Mr. Avery. I then saw him run into my yard and run back to his carrying with what looked liked my garden hat. I yelled at hi to bring it back. Atticus then strolled over to my house and we engaged in an arm waving conversation. The snow stopped in the afternoon, the temperature fell, and every fireplace in Maycomb was lit.
I was awoken by a smell of something burning as I turned I say that the heater I was using for my plants had started a fire, I got out and waited for help, as I waited I saw Jem leading Scout to in front of the radley place. The fire eventually subsided with the help of 3 fire trucks, all I can do now is keep my head high and live happily, I just hope that with a little help I can rebuild my home.

1. I’m really glad that you did a post that didn’t seem that it was cut off. I also liked how it included a period at the end and the how the post was kind of close to three pages. For future reference to make it seem more professional you should spell out you numbers. In the last sentence of the second paragraph you spelled stopped wrong. Other than that I thought that it was well written.
2. I liked how you put more detail in Ms. Radley’s death even though it wasn’t a big part. I feel that you could’ve put more emotion in to what Ms. Maudie was feeling during the fire because it could make her seem more human, other than that I think that I feel that you captured her personality nicely.
1. I agree with Madison because I like how you ended it. Be careful of the typo's, but I like how you included the major events that heppened to her and not much else that didn't happen to her.
2. I like how you put Ms. Maudie's feelings about Ms. Radley's death into it, while still staying true to the story line. I also like how you put her always positive attitude in towards the end.
