Journal #1- Chapters 1-3 from the perspective of Jem
Ever since scout was born, i've always felt live i've had to be the older brother, which meant to never condescend to her level. When Scout and Dill got an eccentric idea to see what Boo Radley looked like, I wasn't sure what to do. I couldn't chicken out and tell them I was too scared. Boo was intimidating. Whether it was fact or fiction that he was six feet tall and malevolent, the neighborhood would still be intimidated by him. I decided I would just bang on his house a few times. He probably would ignore it anyway. But I was wrong. I could have sworn he poked his head out the window once or twice. It was not enough for us to see what he looked like, so Scout and Dill will still be irked with the legend of Boo Radley.

I really liked how you talked about Jem feeling scared. Not just him saying it but by the way you wrote just made it seem like he was. I liked how you used the same word two different ways but still had all 5 vocabulary words in there. When you said "Whether it was fact or fiction that he was six feet tall and malevolent, the neighborhood would still be intimidated by him." I liked the very decription of the myth that waqs brought upon him because of his past.
