__T.K.A.M PART 2 Journal #1, Ch 12-13, #3__ Discrepancy- difference, change, different In Maycomb, the life of the citizens are constantly changing. Especially, the young children are growing at a speedy rate. By the beginning of part 2, the reader can start to understand that the children, such as Jem are growing out of their children lives into a more adult, mature life: “Baby”, said Calpurina, “ I just can’t help if Mister Jem’s growin’ up. He’s gonna want to be off to himself a lot now, doin’ whatever boys do, so you just come right to the kitchen when you fell lonesome” (Lee, 154) In the past, Jem and Scout are the best of friends. They played games in the backyard all the time. As Jem’s age rose, the consistency of their playful relationship began to lessen. He was starting become more of a manly figure to Jem and Jem began to want nothing to do with Scout. Another relationship that became different was the one between Dill and Scout. After Scout found out that Dill was not coming to Maycomb that summer, she realized: “… I never thought about it, but summer was Dill by the fish pool smoking string, Dill’s eyes alive with complicated plans to make Boo Radley emerge; summer was the swiftness with which Dill would reach up and kiss me when Jem was not looking, the longings we felt each other feel. With him, life was routine, without him, life was unbearable. I stayed miserable for two days.” (Lee, 154) Scout's short broken relationship with Dill that summer made her feel very lonely. Since they were very small, Scout's summer days with Dill were full of fun, playful activities. Although, she didn’t come to realize, that a whole summer without one person she really cares about can actually make all the difference. In part 2, Jem and Scout are supposed travel on path of change and especially behavior according to Aunt Alexandra : "Shee asked me to tell you you must try to behave like a lady and a gentleman that you are. She wants to talk to you about the family and what it’s meant to Maycomb County through the year, so you’ll have some ideas of who you are, so you be moved to behave accordingly.” ( Lee, 178) By the end of chapter 12, Aunt Alexandra unsuspectingly popped into Maycomb. As soon as she arrives in Maycomb, one of the first things she says to the children is that they should be more mature and responsible for there actions. Aunt Alexandra especially drives this theory toward Scout, because she does not look or act like a girl in Aunt Alexandra opinion. It is implied, that a series of changes might be originated from Aunt Alexandra to completely give a full makeover of Jem and Scout. Also, Aunt Alexandra believes in theory that all family members of one family always will have the same physical and internal behaviors. So, she tries to brainwash Jem and Scout to believe that they must act like everybody else in the Finch Family and not have their own indivisuality.

 * PRE- TOM ROBINSON TRIAL**

In the small county such as Maycomb, it is extremely difficult not to already be informed on the upcoming trial. For the purpose of the readers, I would like to add that i absolutely do not have any biasness toward either the defendant or the accuser. Mr. Tom Robinson, the defendant, was accused of raping Mayella Ewell, the daugther of the accuser and witness, Bob Ewell. __Then__, as the trial is nearing, Mr. Tom Robinson is to be moved to the Maycomb Jail. I have evidence concerning, Mr. Atticus Finch: a Maycomb citizen and lawyer for Tom Robinson from Jem and Scout Finch and Dill Harris. They report witnessing their father, Mr. Atticus Finch sitting in front of the Maycomb Jail. __After__ ,they also report that Mr. Atticus Finch sat there to protect Mr. Tom Robinson from a mob wanting to probably kill Tom Robinson, but Mr. Atticus Finch stood his ground and did not let the mob pass into the Maycomb Jail. In fact, nobody was injured! __Finally__, it is trial day, and floods of people from all over the county came to witness the trial. It has been reported that only person in the county did not atted the trial. This person was Miss Maudie. We interviewed Miss Muadie in front of the courthouse: " Why are not attending Tom Robinson's trial?" Miss Maudie replied:" I believe that watching someone on trial for his life is like attending a Roman Carnival. That is all." After she spoke, Miss Maudie walked away. What is to happen to Tom Robinson? Live or Die? Stayed dialed in to the Maycomb Times as we will be posting information about the trial daily.

__T.K.A.M PART 2 Journal #3, Ch 17-18, #2__ My name is Miss Maudie. As people were entering the courthouse in the town square, I was asked question by a indivisual whom i did not recognize. At the time, I believed that he was simply wondering what other people opinions were about the trial and he noticed me as the odd one out. I am outraged to find that my opinion on the Tom Robinson's trial is now on full display (__without my consent)__ in the Maycomb Times. My words are now on full portrayal for Maycomb?! In the future, I wish that when writers or interviewers for the Maycomb Times do gathering of information from people, that they must make there job fully known when interviewing! This is the right thing to do! As well as being interviewed without my consent, another thing angers me is that interview was concerning a innocent black man struggling for his life in front of a future that is obvously leads to death. An innocent black man! Although, what angers me the most... is that Tom Robinson was killed, because of rascism from the white jury and Bob Ewell.

__T.K.A.M PART 2 Journal # 4, Ch 19-21,#4__ Dear Scout, This is your Big Brother Finch. I noticed that after Mr. Gilmer's rude treatment to Tom Robinson during the questioning, Dill began to cry. It was very smart of you to take Dill outside. I followed you two outside, and noticed that Dill complained to you about Mr. Gilmer. Although, I felt when you were both outside, you should of consoled him. For example, you should of comforted him on that there is no way that Tom Robinson will be proved guilty with Mr. Gilmers bogus evidence. You should of told Dill that Mr. Gilmers's evidence on how Tom Robinison could put Mayella to the ground with one hand was not good enough evidence to convict Tom Robinson. This would of cheered Dill up so fast. In the future, if somebody is feeling down, always try to cheer them up with positive possibliltys. This helps them believe that there is still hope, becuase when somebody loses hope they always complains and or cries.

Sincerely, Big Brother Finch

__T.K.A.M PART 2 Journal #5, Ch 22-24,#5__ Thank you so much, Big Brother Finch! I did not realize that I could console Dill. Obviously, I have much more to learn. The advice you gave me was so helpful. Recentely, I have noticed that I could use your advice with my current conflicts and concerns. For example, when the jury came back into the room, all the people in the colored balcony rose and i rose with them, because I was concerned that Tom Robinson lack of hope will help him in the long run. I felt this action tells Tom Robinson that his friends and family are all behind him and that he should maintain hope even if his chance of survivial is slim. Another conflict appeared later in the night, when Jem was complaining about the injustices against Tom Robinson. By adhering to your advice, I told Jem that there is still hope for Tom Robinson to survive,because Atticus is doing all in his tremendous power to stop it. I also said, that even though the percent chance might be small, that small percent chance just might be enough to save Tom Robinson.
