Chapters 10, 11, & 12
Perspective: Mrs. Dubose
I am gonna admit I am a bit of stoker, but Jem and Scout? I hate them. When ever they come by the house there is always something wrong with them. Today was an interesting day. Mr whats-his-name's dog showed up and the whole town was freaking out about a dumb limping dog. I really didn't see the point of it. It was just a dog for crying out loud! After the dog was ISOLATED the whole town was safer. When the time came when Jem and scouted walking past my house more often I found my boring day a little more interesting. Yeah most people think of me as a mean old lady but I really just want some attention. It was my INGENIOUS Plan to get them to talk to me however harsh our conversations got. I went to the doctor today to get my little “habit” looked at. Yeah I'm a meth addict. I know its bad for you but it makes me feel so good. I was PERPLEXED by the doctors office. Somewhere where people are nice to each other? I have never heard of such a place where people are nice to you. However much I torment them they don't get upset. When I came home and was about to take my drugs I was almost knocked out by the sight in front of me. Jem was ripping up my roses and I fainted. Later he came by and apologized. I was mad but I didn't show it. I made him stay to me and read, plus he had to fix up my garden. The next months pasted and the meth addiction was getting to me. All I could think about was the next time I could get my medicine and I barely heard the story jem was reading to me. I could tell he didn't care, why should he hes just a kid; a stupid, useless, rude kid. Scout was almost as bad as Jem was. She would sit ADJACENT to Jem and just sit there avoiding I contact with me. I could tell by her FANATICAL look. This will most likely be my last entry cause I am passing away and I know its my time. I just hope that those two kids learned their lesson.

I think think that you should try capitalizing the names. I like the way you say that Scout is going "to blow". I would agree with you on that if I would have your perspective because Scout gets mad easily. I also think that Cal. is a good mother for Jem and Scout because if there mother died when they were 2 and 4 and she helped you raise them I think that Cal. would also be a better mother then the Aunt Alexandra because Cal knows them better than her. I also wouldn't like to live With Aunt Alexandra if she is that racist because since you are Atticus then I also wouldn't like her in my house because Atticus is a Lawyer and he like justice.
