To kill a mocking bird
Chapter 1 through 3
Character: Jem
Summer has been good so far. I met a boy named Charles Baker Harris who calls himself Dill. He is staying with his aunt Miss Rachel Haverford for the summer. She lives next door to us. Dill and I have become pretty good friends. We always play together. Until one day he dared me to to cross over and touch the Radley place.
Boo Radley seems like a malevolent person. He never comes out of his house. I heard that as a boy he got in trouble with the law and his father punished him and imprisoned him in his house. Nobody knew about him for a long time and one day he stabbed his father with a pair of scissors. People think he is crazy. I was dared to touch his house by Dill. Dill has pretty eccentric ideas. This one is the most eccentric. The Radley place is pretty intimidating specially Boo Radley.
September is here. That means school starts. This year will be Scout's first year of school. She has never gone to school. She will be starting the first grade. While I was at lunch I saw Scout rubbing a kid's nose in dirt. I had to intervene. Walter Cunningham was the kid's name. He was one of the Cunningham's. The Cunningham's were really poor. I decided to invite Walter to eat dinner with us. His dad was a friend of my dad's and I thought it would be nice. We walked and talked all the way home about Boo Radley. When we got home for dinner Walter and my dad were talking about farming problems. It seems like they got along just well.

I liked how you gave an introduction on how Dill was in the beginning of the journal and how he met him. I also like how you got right to the point on what happened in the 3 chapters. Good Job! :]

I felt like you relayed the character's feelings really well. I think that if elaborated on some of your ideas, it would help the reader really get a feel for what was going on during the chapters we read. Good job!
