Chapter 9
During school today I got into a fight. One of my classmates Cecil
Jacobs was calling Atticus horrible names. I got so angry at him for offending
my father in front of everyone. He kept taunting me chanting,
"Scout Finch's daddy defends niggers." He was non stop making fun of
my dad even when I asked him to stop. I couldn't take it any longer so I ended
up attacking him! I honestly thought he deserved it. This picture shows how the
fight happened and my anger towards Cecil.
Every time during
Christmas we stay at the Jack Finch's Landing. Jack is my uncle and I love him... we usually always get along. This
Christmas Francis was at the Landing. Francis is my Aunt Alexandra's grandson,
and he's my cousin. Aunt Alexandra always tells me that I need to start
dressing and acting like a lady, but Jem tells me not to listen to her. I can't
stand Francis. I don't think I've ever met anyone more boring then him. I was
talking to Francis and he kept telling me how Dill is a runt and how my father
is a "nigger lover". I got so irritated with him thought I beat him
up too. I ended up telling my Uncle Jack why I fought him, but I made him promise
me not to tell Atticus because I promised him that I wouldn't get into another
fight over him after Cecil.
