Chapter 8
We haven't gotten snow in Maycomb for as long as anyone in this town can
remember. Today we got a light snow fall, and it was enough to get us off of school! Jem and I
wanted to make a snow man but we didn't have enough snow on our lawn to make
one :(. We went to Miss. Maudie's house and carried as much snow as we could back
to our lawn. We showed Atticus our creation and he told us it looks exactly
like our neighbor Mr. Avery. I thought this was very funny, and we all had a good laugh.
That night we had the
storm, Atticus woke me up in the middle of the night! Miss. Maudie's house
caught on fire! Atticus orderd me to go outside with Jem and stand at the corner
of the street by the Radley's house. There were fire trucks everywhere and the
whole neighborhood was crowding around her house! Everyone in the neighborhood
was trying to save her furniture! I couldn't believe her house
burned to the crowd. The fire men couldn't save her house in time. Jem and I
talked to her the next day and she was surprisingly calm about losing
everything she had; and trying to see the best in the situation. I got a photo of
the house burning!
