Atticus Finch Journal

Q: What three words best describe you and why?

A: I think the best three words to describe me would be intelligent, talkative, and imaginative. I think these words describe me well because first, I am intelligent because I love to read books. I also enjoy writing letters to my favorite book character, Atticus Finch. Whenever I don’t know what a word means I look It up in the dictionary or on google. It has expanded my vocabulary delightfully. Second, I am talkative because I love having conversations with my friend Lisa. I also tell everything about my day to my other friend, Plant. She is a plant that I usually keep in my room. Lastly, I am imaginative because I love to compare things, like once I thought about how Atticus Finch would make a good cowboy. I also have Plant who of course, can't really talk but I still like to speak with her.

A: Well, I am an only child, I guess. My brother died when he was a baby, but I survived. I have a Mom and a Dad, but my Mom doesn’t live with me at my house. I usually get along great with my Dad unless he’s drunk. I have only visited my Mom twice that I can remember, and I haven’t spoken to her in either of the visits. Something bad happened when I was young and my Mom was moved to a hospital. I best get along with my dad because he is the only one that I am usually around, and lives with me.

Q: Tell us where you grew up and what your childhood was like.

A: I grew up in many places, my dad and I moved houses a lot because of the incident when I was a baby, when people found out it was us and started being mean we moved to another town. My childhood wasn’t like most other kids. I spent a lot of time thinking if I was going to grow up to be crazy, like my mother had been. I analyzed things that I did to see if that was a sign i was going to, Like talking to plants and writing letters to fictional characters.
