Hey everyone! So this is just a little fic that i'm publishing because i had an English assignment to write journal entries of eight important events of the book in the prespective of two characters.
I chose Mayella Ewell and we had to write for Boo Radley too so i decided to upload it and see what you all think! :)
R&R please!
Introduction to Dill
Boo Radley:
A new boy moved in next door. I had found out when I saw him playing with Jem and Scout Finch. He was a very unusual boy who loved to tell atrocious lies. I'd overheard a few of them as they passed by my home one day. But although he was a liar, he had a great imagination, which made the plays he performed with Jem, and Scout very entertaining to watch.
His imagination, however, could lead him to trouble and Jem and Scout always seemed to get involved in it. One afternoon as I was reading the newspaper, I was surprised to find Jem Finch sprinting towards my house. He touched the side paneling and raced back. He looked behind him, as if I were chasing him. I knew they, like the many other kids in Maycomb, had the idea that I was someone to be afraid of. They called me Boo Radley. Although, it isn't nice to call someone a name, I didn't think much of it. I knew that the adults in Maycomb were to blame especially that nosy Miss Stephanie Crawford who always eyed my house whenever she passed as if she could find new gossip by looking at it. The rumors she spread about me only made me laugh. They were all exaggerated to the point where everyone thought I had stabbed my father with a pair of scissors, when in fact, I had never done such a thing. I had learned a lot since my teenage years and I knew murder got you nowhere. So I wasn't at all bothered by how naïve the Finch children could be. With a father like Atticus Finch, I was sure they would be carefully taught.
Mayella Ewell:
A couple of my brothers had been hanging around outside of the farm one afternoon. They told me a new boy had moved into Maycomb County to stay with his aunt. Buckley and Bailey, who were twins, hated him and said he was always causing trouble. I didn't think too much of this Dill they mentioned. He was probably just like the rest of the children in Maycomb. According to Buckley, he hung around with the Finch children.
What do you think so far?
