Perspective: Atticus
Dear Diary,
Today, I had to shoot a Mad Dog. It had rabies and it was foaming at the mouth. It was also shaking and twitching like crazy. I really didn't want to cantankerously kill it. When I had shot the dog, Jem and Scout looked at me with amazement and they were inaudible. They didn't know that I was One-Shot Finch. Probably because I am a lot older than all of their friends' fathers. Oh well. But back the the dog. Jem and Scout found the dog while they were outside exploring with their air rifles and soon spotted the Mad Dog. They told Calpurnia and Calpurnia called me on the telephone.
When I arrived to my front porch, I spotted the dog was in front of the Radley House. Jem started to come out of the house, and I told him to stay inside because there could be peril. A while after I shot the dog, Zeebo came and took the dog away in a garbage truck, then Zeebo poured something from a gallon jug to where the dog had been laying.
A couple days later, Jem goes and ruins Mrs. Dubose's flowers. I bet he was trying to make them very inconspicuous. He did this all because he has gotten sick of her and says that he hates her. But when Jem is ruining the flowers, she catches him and makes Jem read to her for weeks. Contemporary, Mrs. Dubose dies from being a drug addict. She was an addict of morphine. She had been taking them for several years because her doctor put her on the medication. When Jem finds out she is dead, he is very upset because even though he said that he hated her, he still had a soft spot for her.
Sincerely,
Atticus Finch
Nice post Devon. I like that you chose to write in Atticus' perspective! A suggestion I have is to keep the focus mostly on the character you're writing as. Also, to really explain their viewpoint on what they feel and think about the events that have happens. You did a really good job though!
ReplyDeleteNice post. I have noticed a couple of grammar mistakes, but just minor. I would say next time either write about one specific event, or many different events. The transition from the 2nd to the 3rd paragraph threw me off a little bit. Other then that good job.
