Journal,

Maycomb endures a real winter. An event rare enough for school to be closed. Jem and me haul as much snow as we could from Miss Maudie’s yard to their our yard. Since there is not enough snow to make a real snowman, we built a small figure out of dirt and cover it with snow. We make it look like Mr. Avery because he is an unpleasant man who lives down the street. I bet he is a very isolated man. We don't entrust him though. The figure’s acquainted to Mr. Avery is so strong that Atticus demands that we disguise it. Jem places Miss Maudie’s sunhat on its head and sticks her hedge clippers in its hands, much to her chagrin.

Atticus wakes me up and helps me put on my bathrobe and coat and goes outside with me and Jem. Miss Maudie’s house is on fire. I was a little shock by this I didn't understand why her house was on fire. The neighbors helped her save her furniture, and the fire truck arrives in time to stop the fire from spreading to other houses, but Miss Maudie’s house burns to the ground. I thought maybe it was Jem and my fault for making the snowman and Ms.Avery got angry at her because she saw the materials. then in that moment boo drapes me with a blanket. I first didn't know who it was until Jem figured it out about the gift and everything that boo did for us. But the idea of Boo adjacently behind me made me puke because I was perplexity about him.

Miss Maudie is cheerful the next day. She tells the me how much she hated her old home and that she is already planning to build a smaller house and plant a larger garden. She says that she wishes she had been there when Boo put the blanket on me to catch him in the act.
