Journal #5- Chapters 13-15 from the perspective of Scout

One night, jem tells me not to antagonize aunt alexandra. I dont like the attitude that jems gives me or the comment he says. I get so frustrated I attack jem. A few minutes later our dad (atticus) comes in and breaks up the fight. He tells us to run off to bed and we both do. As I was hopping I saw something under the bed. I looked under and it was dill that ran away from home because he felt that his mother and father didn't pay enough attention to him. I asked him how he got here. He told me a train, cotton wagon, and walked. Jems goes down the hall to tell atticus while i stay up in the room with dill. I then see jem and atticus come up to my room. He tells me that i need to get more food than some bread for dill. He told me to do that before you go tell Dill's aunt, miss rachel, about his whereabouts. I said yes dad and went straight to the kitchen to give dill a decent meal. I bring the meal up to dill and he eats it like hes never eaten in a month. Then atticus tells us to go to bed. Dill sleeps in jems bed but then climbs over to my bed to talk.

After a week or so i was worried about my dad. He took his car into town and i wanted to check out what was going on because the sherrif came earlier today. Dill, jem, and I went to town. We stayed near a bush and watched atticus from a distance reading a newspaper. I immiediatly suggest we should go and see what is going on. Jem replies saying that we shouldn't bother atticus. As soon as jem said that four cars drove up near the jail that atticus was sitting at and demanded that he moved. I couldn't stand not knowing whats going on so i ran out of our hiding spot and to atticus. Jem and dill follow scout to atticus. I watch as atticus tells jem to run home. Jem refuses and then one of the men tell atticus that his children need to leave within the next 15 seconds. As soon as the men ends his sentence. I notice Mr. walter cunningham. I start chatting with him about his legal entailments and his son walter cunningham. I tell him to make sure he tells his son that I said hi. Mr. cunningham, kneels down, tells me that he will make sure he tells his son that I said hi. He then tells his companions to head out and they all depart. Atticus talks to mr. Underwood and then takes all of us home.
