Perspective of Jem


I thought this kid named dill will be a nice kid till the day when he dared me go to the eccentric family house and ring the door because he wanted to see what they looked like. I was irked about this idea but I said sure because I said I an't scared of anything in a condescended way but when I looked at the house I froze.I knew the rumor's about it that you would die or Boo will do malevolent thing. When I thought about it, then I knew I still had so much to live for. Then dill say i thought you weren't scared and also that he dared him. I didn't want to prove that I was scared but I couldn't go.

I knew most of these things are rumors that they will kill you but there house looks wrecked and it looks creepy. Then dill says are u scared i say I an't but I was on the edge I needed to go or I would be the one that is scared. Then when I was thinking about going he said you can just go touch it and come back. He compromised for me, then I felt really happy that all I had to do was to run and touch the house and run back. So I opened the gate and ran and ouch the part of the house closes to me.

Then that moment when I got back away from the house I heard it shake and we all knew there was someone in that house.I felt scared but at least I proved I wasn't scared and at least I didn't die I felt fine. In the end dill went back to where he lives because the summer was over. And school was going to begin.
