Journal #7, perspective of Aunt Alexandra, chapters 20-24
It has been hours since me and Calpurnia have been looking for Jem, scout and Dill, I am really worried were they are but at the same time I am beyond mad and disappointed with all of them. I send Calpurnia to give Atticus a letter that I wrote that says that the kids are missing, So Calpurnia dose not interrupt Atticus in his court case. I go and try to find the kids looking at every possible place that they can be. I was out looking for them for about an hour, when I come back to the house I see Calpurnia out of her mind mad and I yell at them because I had no idea were they were and when they told me they were at the court house listening to the court case and that Atticus said that they can go back after they eat, I almost fainted from that. I did not know what to do with this kids they were persecuted. When we were at the dinner table I was sad because I failed to take care of them and that Atticus is probably disappointed with me. I see Calpurnia serving them food saying "ashamed of yourself s," I had nothing to say, I told them to eat slow and they can go back to the court house. The table was quiet, Calpurnia still looked enraged and the kids looked pursuits. When they were finished they left and went back to the court house and I cleaned the table and washed the dishes. One day in august I invite some of my missionaries over for tea, scout and Calpurnia help bring in the tea witch was nice of them so I invite scout to stay with me and my friends. The first thing we talk about is a african tribe being converted to Christianity and that their own black servents have behaved bad since the Tom Robinson case. Then Atticus calls me to the kitchen and I was obliviouse that he wanted to talk to me, so I go to the kitchen and Scout, Calpurnia, and Miss Maudie were their and Atticus tells us that Tom Robinson tried to escape and was shot seven times, once I herd that I new it was inevitable. Atticus takes Calpurnia to tell Tom Robinsons family and I ask Ms. Maudie how the town can allow Atticus to wreck himself in pursuit of justice. Maudie says that the town trusts him to do right and I kind of consented.

You did a good job in the perspective of Aunt Alexandra, you were really realistic.
