Journal #4 chapters 10-12 from perspective of Calpernia

Dear diary, One morning I was cleaning the dishes then Jem and scout tell me that their is a dog outside and so I tell them to scare it off, but then they tell me it looks sick and so I went outside to check the dog out but then the dog looked dangerous so then I tell the kids to go in side. I start running around town and telling everyone that their is a mad dog, then she calls the 911 operator to tell the sheriff that their is a mad dog on the loose. So then I went back to the kids because they can be in serious Peril. When I got home the sheriff came in the house and told me to watch out from the mad do. So the sheriff starts running after the mad dog and I stay with the kids just in case the dog comes back. Later I find out that Atticus killed the mad dog. The next day I found about that Jem got in trouble so he had to go to Ms.Dubose's house and read to her and I thought it was a good idea because that poor lady is always by herself so it will be good to give her company. Then one day Jem comes to the house and says he is finished reading to Ms.Dubose. The next day Atticus tell everyone that he is going to Ms.Dubose's house for a while. It suprised me how long he was over their but when he came back he told us that Ms.Dubose died a few minutes ago, I was really sad but glad that she is not suffering anymore. I saw Jem's face when Atticus said that and he was really shocked, so when Atticus showed Jem a gift that Ms.Dubo gave Jem before she died and I thought that was really Pensive of her.
The next day Atticus had to leave and so scout and Jem were by them selfs and so I asked them if they were going to church and they said no because they don't due anything their anyways, so I was thinking that they should come with me so they can experience how our church works and is. So then I tell them and they seem alright about it. The first thing I wanted to do before we went to church I gave scout and Jem baths because I want them to look nice and not ugly, so then I gave scout a dress so she would look like a true lady and a suit for Jem so he can look like a gentlemen. So when we got their everyone started standing up and taking off their hats because of what Atticus is dewing, but then out of the crowed I hear "what have you been up too cal" and I new who it was, it was Lula. I see Lula coming to me and starts tormenting me about why I brought white kids to a black church and that this church is meant for black people only, and I was amused of her but then she stops and walks away so we take a seat and wait for church to start, but Scout ask me were are the books for the songs and I tell her to be quiet. So then I see the Zeebo making the morning announcements. Then he come out in the middle and starts singing to us but when I looked at scout and Jem they seemed confused. When that was over we had to go donate money but when everyone did Zeebo said we need $10 for Toms wife nedds the money for food because she cant get a job, so Zeebo tells a man to lock the doors and it irked me, Zeebo tells the people who don't have children to make a sacrifice and give a little bit more money, and so people do and it was time to leave and so I was trying to be evasion from Lula and we made it.

I like how you make it as a diary and you told a really good summary of the chapters and you did it good from the perspective of Cal.

I think you did a great job explaining most of the details of what Cal did and like Blyss said you did a good job summarizing all of the chapters.
