Journal # 5: Chapters: 13-15 [Perspective: Aunt Alexandra]

Atticus…I don’t believe that man. He’s saying he “needs me to help out Scout.” Scout is a disgrace to the entire Finch family. She don’t need my help.

The thought of Scout being a lady ran through my head. Oh, wouldn’t that be nice. Just to see her act properly would be amazing to me. So, I decided to help my brother out with situation. For the family, I thought. Jean Louise Finch, for once in your life, you’re life, you’re going to be a lady. A proper lady. That thought was in my head a lot. That’s the main thing I wanted to say to that disgraceful gal.

Once I saw her, she looked pretty surprised to see me. I can’t believe that Atticus didn’t tell her I was the heroic one that was going to her manly ways. Yes, it will be to change her. I am descended to. I hope little Jean Louise knows that. She’s probably hanging out with the boys so much; she probably forgot her real name, that pig. Oh Jean Louise, I wish you could realize the monster man you have been!

I can’t believe Jean Louise sometimes. When she asked to go Calpurnia’s home. Why in all of gods green goodness would she want to go to a black person’s home? I disproved. What was Calpurnia going to do to help that Jean Louise? Nothin’. Sure she helps Jean Louise and Jem sometimes but she is not a proper women. The first time I saw that Calpurnia, I always had doubts about her.

There Atticus and I sat. Jean Louise asked Atticus if she could go to Calpurnia’s house. That thought ran through my mind about how Calpurnia was not a proper woman. Of course I had to say no.

When Jean Louise yelled at me I was ready to burst. That was not a way to act like a proper lady. Never was I ever spoken that way. I couldn’t believe her. I’m glad Atticus deiced not let her go. But it upsets me that Atticus did not let Calpurnia go. She shouldn’t be her. She is not a good example of a proper woman. Like if been thinking before. Oh Atticus, he should really know what a proper woman is.

Once that Dill cam I knew the answer to all of Scout’s problems. Dill is not a proper man either. He is not well behaved. He ran away from his home for god’s shakes! That boy really should tell his mother where he is. Scout and Dill are not proper people at all.

This was the key; I knew that Dill was making Scout improper. More improper than she already was. There he was, sittin’ with Jem and Scout. I’d give him odd looks. He would never look at me, he would always look at Scout. She was always smile back at him. I knew somethin’ was up between them but I never really cared what. All I really cared about was fixing Scout. That’s all I ever really thought about. Scout made me so upset, I just didn’t even care what else was going on around me. My thoughts were coming together, and I was still suck on how I was going to fix Scout. Sometimes, I wish I knew the answer. I was always stuck on what I should do about her. Sometimes, I would just sit and stare at Dill, Jem, and Scout. Jem didn’t upset me. Just the fact that he made his sister into a boy was the only part that bothered me. Dill bothered me though. I don’t know what it was, but he just annoyed the wits out of me.
Scout…I didn’t even know what to think about her. I will fix her. I can do this, it anit gonna be that hard. Jean Louise, you’d better watch out. That’s one main thing that I wanted to say to her. When she’s with me, she’s going to be a proper lady. Even when she’s not with me, she’s going to be a lady.
