Chapter 10-12
Character:Mrs.Dubose
I'm crazy. I know I am. Jem and Scout drive me more crazy. Jeremy is a rude little boy who makes me lose my mind. The other day I told Jeremy how his father is no better than the niggers and trash he works for. It's the truth. He is a nigger lover. He's no better than anything. That Rude little Jeremy destroyed my camellia bushes. Scout drives me crazy. It drives me crazy how she is so dirty. Those overalls she wears. Makes her look unladylike .
However, now Jeremy has to read to me for a month. He always brings his dirty little sister with him all the time. Now they get to see the real me. They get to see the perculiar fits I have at a certain hour. I'm off the drug addiction for a month. Then my life will be gone. Morphine is powerful. It takes control over me. It has taken control over me all the time I've been on it. I can't take control over it. But just this month I want to gain control over it. Then I'm gone.
I had actually quite enjoyed Jeremy reading sessions with me. Even though I don't listen to him. It helps me gain control over morphine and it helps me achieve my goal. To be off of it for a month. I like the reading sessions because I set my alarm clock later so that Jeremy and Scout can stay longer. They life as soon as the alarm clock sets off because those are my fits.
I'll admit it. I am lonely. Imagine knowing your going to die in a month and your lonely and hopeless. That is why I decided to be off morphine for a month. I don't want to die a drug addict. As soon as the month is over and Jeremy and Scout walk out that door Ill be gone forever. I may die like a sad,lonely, and grumpy woman but not as a drug addict.

Short but also very emotional. I liked how you put many of Miss Dubose's feelings into your post.

I liked how in the beginning you described what bothers your charachter. The end is very sad about how you know that she's going to die. :[ Good Job :]
